i thought i would point out a couple of small details about the new iPods. hey, this is my first thread i have ever started here. k.



5GB: .78'' deep

10GB: .72'' deep

20GB: .84'' deep



so the 5GB is the same depth as previous iPods (which were already too thick IMO). the 10GB is thinner, and the 20GB is thicker. i want the 10GB thank you very much. thinner = mo bettar



also, all the new iPods come with a 1 year limited warranty. the old ones had a 90 day limited. 1 year = winar . 90 day = suck.



conclusion: new 10GB iPod = teh ubar winar



k thx bye. end transmission.

    Wow... hadn't even noticed that they made it a 1 year warranty now. That's a lot better than the 90 day warranty. Gives me something to think about for the next 2 months while I figure out whether or not to sell my 5GB iPod and go to the 10GB.

    Yep, my 17" iMac and 10 GB iPod are expected in 2-4 weeks. However, I will be receiving my printer for the "print and save" rebate thing right away.

    If the WAVV audio format makes it to the iPod, you'll be able to practically double the capacity without loosing sound quality!

    Actually all original ipods were secretly given a one year extended warranty.

    Yes, I believe that most iPods actually ended up with a one year warranty, but I can't figure out if it had to be tied in with a Mac or not.

    It's true! It's true!



    My ipod died about a month ago, about 6 months after I bought it. Since then I've been dividing my time between complaining on the Apple Support Discussions and saving up my money for a new one. But tonight after reading the rumors about the warranties being extended, I called up and sure enough, they told me that my warranty had in fact been extended, and they're sending out a shipping container for repair. After seeing the improvements at MacWorld, I'll still probably buy a new one. But at least now this one will have some resale value on eBay, etc.
