Re: Apple's iPhone and the iPod Nano
It's not the iPhone, it's the Motorola ROKR. With that said, I can't get a new phone with Cingular until Jan 07, so I'll wait, let the price drop and the compatibility increase. I like the idea, but I would like to see iTunes featured over a larger variety of phones. In all honesty, I was a little disappointed. I was hoping it would be a phone designed by Apple, with more of a Mac look and feel. Instead the phone screams Motorola all over it, and while I still like it and will more likely than not pick it up next time I get a phone, it could be so much more.
The nano, that is something to be admired. Yes, it replaced the iPod mini line. But wow, that's all there is to say. 68% smaller, and a color screen. Beautiful. Also like the combined necklace/headphones for the port in the bottom, and the new features are handy, and I'd like to see them in a new software update. Stopwatch, world clock, and a new lock feature that uses the wheel like a combination lock.
Also things to take note of, Acura, Honda, Audi, and Volkswagen added iPod support for their cars. iTunes 5 was released, with folders, smart shuffle, new Tiger-style search, and a new interface being the main changes.
A nano would accompany my iPod, iPod Photo, and iPod Shuffle nicely...
