Finally, A Reason For Me To Buy An iPod

New iPod Nanos have a video camera and FM Tuner built in, available now 8GB 149USD, 16GB 179USD.

Say goodbye, 256mb MP3 player!

My ol' skool 2 gig Creative Zen Stone Plus had an FM-Tuner in it and is only like 30 quid.

My old iRiver had FM Radio. We're you waiting specifically for an iPod to have this?

iPod, now even more likely to get you mugged

Yes, the Samsung 256MB MP3 player I have (it's damn small, another reason I kept it for 6 years) has an FM tuner. I prefer the look/feel/UI of the iPods, though.

Yep - I hated the need for an 'addon' so something as basic as FM radio can be used on an iPod.

why would you want a video camera on a nano sized screen? i've always found video to be ridiculous at that size

That's pretty nuts that they didn't see fit to put in a radio until recently.

And when you transfer it to your computer... what then? Do you honestly think it captures video at the Nano's screen resolution?

Perhaps digital cameras should have 21" screens, too...

a one inch screen makes die hard so fucking intense

Having one in a nano would be pretty slick though.

I know - it's taken them 8 years to do this!

640x480 and Apple saying it compares to the FlipHD =

FM radio in the 21th Century =

crazy apple takes so fucking long to implement standard features into the ipod, too bad it doesnt have an am tuner. i dont listen to any FM radio, there is literally nothing on FM out here worth listening to.

and watch 2 years later apple will be proud to announce that you can TIVO the fm radio to an mp3 ! oh wait seacrane radio has a tape cassette version of this concept made 20 years ago

THIS POST SPONSERED BY APPLE USA INC.

laemnor ... it's prob. a feature that will be on a phone you'll be buying in about six months anyway ... plus i find it hard to believe that you of all people still own a 256megmp3player well unless it's one of those supermicro jogging thingoez .. hence my edit in the quote ...

Is that really the only reason you want an ipod? Not for mp3s, but for a fucking radio? I mean, can't you just buy a radio for like 5 dollars?

he's just gorilla marketing for apple .. prob. earned him 5 bucks for the site .. haha ;-]

Oh, I took it as the iPod now having a built-in FM broadcaster.

I bought an iPod, you know, so I could listen to all my music without being near a cd player/computer.

i bought an iriver (FM nothing new there) .. you know so i could listen music without pissing about in itunes ... when i get a new phone if the recording quality is high enough i'll fuck the mp3 player off ... convergence baby ..

indeed.

Lol wtf, so many other brands of MP3 players have been doing that for so long, now that ipods have them, other brands (like Creative) still kick the shit out of apple products. 'Cause apple is a buncha dicks.

What the fuck? It doesn't even take still pictures.. just a video camera. Completely pointless and unnecessary on an mp3 player.

I agree. I'd rather be able to take stills if anything. And the radio...seriously WTF? Now? You want to introduce FM on your players now? Lol

I like the lower prices on stuff though. Maybe one day I'll upgrade my 8GB Nano, but it's fine for now.

*ready's nuts for the shimmering teabag of the FM radio feature*

I'M THE KINDA A BROTHA DON'T LIKE TO LISTEN TO THE SAME THANG OVER AND OVER SO I DON'T LISTEN TO THE RADIOOOO!
