How much are Nano's?
$149 for the 4GB model, $199 for the 8GB one.

That's still alot of money, IMO.  :ninja:
I agree. There are a lot of other players out there where you get more bang for the buck. You're paying for the Apple name when you get an iPod.

Absolutley positively, without a doubt.

Gil, about 6 months ago (before I got my Zune from my bro) I went out and bought a @GB for $25. Could've got a 4 for $50. So don't tell me that's not expensive. Or, don't expect me to believe it at the very least.

You guys have obviously NEVER used an iPod a day in your life. If you did, its guaranteed that you'd think differently about the price. :yes:

It does NOTHING that's worth that kinda money. My Zune does nothing that is worth that kind of money. I'll gladly and readily admit that I overpaid grossly.

Believe me, I've used iPods before. I honestly didn't see what made it so special, and they're definitely not worth the price you pay for them. I would go as far to say Apple is price gouging them.

I got a 5 GB Creative Zen Micro back in 2005 for $130, and it does a lot more than what any $150 iPod can do (e.g. record audio, FM tuner).

Why did you waste so much money on a nano when you could have gotten any other MP3 player of similar size for a fraction of the cost?  :wacko:

I don't even know why anyone would want to watch video on such a small screen. You'd kill your eyes trying to watch video on a 2" screen.  :wacko:

Superb!  :sunglasses: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Billy, I can relate to that really well. I have bad eyes as it is, and trying to watch video on a 2" screen would not go over very well. :no:

On a side note regarding Kyle's post...interesting how TWC"s board still shows up.  :lol:
