IMAC 20"!! WOOH YEAH!! 2gb ram - 250gb hd 2.16ghz core 2 duo
I am not impressed, Im not overly keen on the look of the new ipods but thaats not my problem,Everywhere has pushed up the prices of the "older" ipod videos, you cant get them on ebay because they sell like mayhem, why?? is this because no one likes the looks of the new ones? I personally prefer the look of the older ones (the white ones look just like my imac!)! but now its harder than eveer to get one!! I have not much more than 2gb of music so i wont eveen fill 30gb let alone 80gb on the new ones, and i like the chunky weight of the older ones! I should have got one ages ago..

What are your opinions on the new ipods?
What are your opinions on the old ipods?

I think they regressed in design, particularly with the color changes! (The new colors remind me of Tropical Skittles. *bleh* ) The shape of the nano has grown on me though.

Yeah, I prefer the look of the old ones ~ the metallic was a lot more attractive to me than the new plastic/rubbery look. The day the new ones came out I was like :\

Personally, I prefer the look of the original Nanos too. Classic, simple, elegant. I don't like the look of the new ones - I feel that the design has lost a little something.

To be completely honest, and I know that this has been debated endlessly in these forums, I feel that same way about the new iMacs - I liked the old "white all the way" look much better than the new look.

Oh well, nothing EVER stays the same, and you have to go forward with the times!

i like the new ones. i am mad that i jst bught the wife a nano and then they changed. we should have waited until the last minute to take advantage of the free nano deal and we would have gotten one. as for the colors, they are ok. nothing special. the product red does not look as good nano v.2 one.
