First world problem.

They can pry my second-gen iPod shuffle from my cold, dead hands. I know it's basically like the fourth gen only a bit bigger, but the newest one has that damn song announcing crap on it. Who wants to hear this during their morning jog instead of a nice crossfade:

*jamming electro beat fading out* ||| HEARTBEATS ||| BY ||| VERSANT ||| *fade in more cool electro music*

No thanks Apple, you had it right with the second generation shuffle.

/and yes I know I can turn it off but I shouldn't have to bother

rostit: People still use dedicated media players? My phone does all of that and will connect via blutooth to my car radio.

It sounds to me that this is your fault.

Wow. What a superior and special human being you are.

logophile: people still use a devoted music device? illogical, captain.

It's amazing that some people have different needs and wants, isn't it?
And amazingly, some people do not even have a smartphone!

/like me

aw shiat. The only reason I still used my first gen nano was because I've already returned my current gen 3 times to apple when the screen blacked out - even high humidity will kill them.

They're ok for using in the house, but I wouldn't even trust these going for a long walk outside.

this sucks

I love when people do something and can't possibly see why someone else would do it any other way.

Is everyone here from either the new Droid or old Mac/PC commercials? I love smarm on my Christmas Eve toast!

Where is your Jobs now?

Apple knows best. Haven't you figured it out by now?

I love how we've become conditioned to be more happy with a device that carries a 50$ month charge (minimum) over one that only cost 179$ and lasts for years...

My first gen was stolen by some people whom I was trying to help back in the day.

that was awesome.

agree totally.

Absolutely!

I used mine to run Rockbox after it became past its prime, and I got quite used to having a media player that didn't use iTunes - for concerts, comedy recordings, stuff you want to listen to once, in order, and then delete. A folder-based drag&drop interface is way better in those situations. Now I have no Rockbox, and I doubt it's coming to the touchscreens anytime soon.

So, if I wanted a media player specifically for Rockbox, what's the best bet? A 2nd gen nano? The 5.5g iPod video would be nice if I needed to carry everything with me but 2GB of flash RAM proved itself more than adequate for daily use.

People still think that smartphones are the answer to everything? My collection of items that do the same as your smartphone cost half as much (total).

It sounds to me that this is a poorly done troll.

Just got my confirmation that my replacement has shipped. I did not expect to get the same one back, in fact, I used as an excuse to upgrade a thing I don't really use anymore anyways, And yes, my original Nano was a regift as well.

In fact, when the original battery started to go out on on the old Nano, I just replaced it myself anyways
