    I'm all for smaller packaging/less fuel to transport. But is all that plastic trash marked for recycling, and commonly (#1 and #2) able to be recycled?

    WOW. That is really a nice looking iPod. I'm going to guess this will be the most popular seller this holiday season. The matte black is beautiful.

    Ordered from Amazon on September 13th, but Amazon indicates delivery ETA of November 27th!



    Did this to avoid sales tax and shipping charges, I can always cancel if a similar deal can be had sooner elsewhere.



    I kinda thought Amazon would be one of the first to receive product from Apple (after Apple serves itself first of course). But 2 month delay? Gee, do you think Apple wants to maximize their margin (Apple's website + Apple retail stores only locations currently shipping) based on high early demand? Or, perhaps the 2G nano is only available in limited supply at this time (i. e. Apple serves itself first).



    Sigh, either way this makes perfect business sense!



    Or perhaps Amazon sold out already on initial stock?



    BTW, does anyone have any experience with high end earbuds ($100-$500 range), or noise cancelling earbuds, I have a 4GB 1G nano (white, no scratches), and have been thinking of upgrading the included buds for some time now. Of course, I'd like something in black for the 2G nano (might consider something cheaper for the white 1G nano, though).



    Thanks in advance.

    Also with the 8GB model, Apple uses black injection-molded plastic for the top and base of the player.





    i love this black beauty even more, i didn't know it was black on top and bottom, ordered mine on the 13th, been told it has shipped and will be here on or before the 21st,

    now i wonder if they are going to make a black shuffle????

    does anyone want to enlighten me as to what the hell that useless piece of plastic that comes with the ipod nano (read: not the headphones, the usb cable, or the nano itself) is (read: yes, the 'nano itself' part is a joke)? I've had a nano for over a year and I still can't figure it out.

    Now, if they'd just read the part of the manual about the aperture priority setting.

    My problem with the macro shots is that they add NO benefit whatsoever. What point is there to see the headphone jack from half an inch away?

    I like the macro shots. I've always wanted to see the real details of a unit.

    Do you ever go down to your local Apple Store to look at stuff? Hold it up real close and look at it all you want.

    Kind of a "duh" moment, but I just realized that the previous form factor was partly limited by the size of a CD. The new one won't fit a CD, so you must download iTunes if you don't have it.



    The new clear case seems pretty thick. Someone here compared it to the iPod socks box, but that was very thin folded plastic box, this box looks quite a bit thicker, and it's molded.
