new iPod Nano

[OrangeReader]

Any idea on new iPod Nano release date and pricing?

Menlyn iStore can't tell me anything.

While I can't tell you when it will be available here in SA (hopefully b4 xmas) I can tell you I was in UK last week and picked one up for my wife. All I can say is, "Wow!". I know its an expensive toy, but even the reviews and videos on the internet don't do it justice. While it comes with a standard apple headphone, you can plug in the fancy headphones (the one that comes with the iPhone which has a built-in mic, volume buttons, etc) and it then allows you to record voice memos and supports the volume up/down and fwd/rew/play/pause functionality of the headphone controls too.

The built-in radio is super cool too, with 15-minute buffer so you can pause live radio, rew/fwd, etc. Simply amazing.

I am indeed impressed!

would it be worth getting one of those watch straps for it? Would it make a good watch?

Do you already get the wrist straps? I wouldn't though. I will just get way too many laughs and nasty comments.

Not unless you don't mind turning it on every time to see the time. But you do already get nice straps that even include a rubber casing that holds the Nano.

How did you manage this? Got family\friends there or did you use Amazon and their R400 courier fee(After which I am pretty sure it still ended up being cheaper than what we'll get ripped for it locally)?

Let them claim back the TAX upon exiting the country i was looking for the old one, then as my friend landed they launched the new ****ty touch screen model so the ****ty touch screen one it is..

Great iPods but I'm rather going for the 8gb Touch, or the 32gb Touch.
