1GB iPod Nano Released Today!

store.apple.com — Well, it seems that a 1GB Nano is upod us. This explains why the US Apple store was down at the time of this being written. It seems that the Australian store jumped the gun and uploaded the specifications sheet early.

  • heatus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome, its just over 200 dollars AUD, not bad
  • Tonyisbad, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0what the ***** is "upod" were you trying to make a joke with combining iPod and upon...? I still prefer my black 60gb ipod video, mmmmmm video playback mmmmm. But i did get my g/f the 2gig nano for xmas and she loves it, i look at it and I'm like it so ***** then it makes me want to throw up a little bit! hahaha, plus knowing me i would break it within the 1st week, right in half, from it being in my pocket and i sit down. I will admit it damn cute, i pretend with her that I'm just going to bite it like a candy bar, leave bite marks on it.
  • zeppelin06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Did anyone else notice that Monday apple stock dropped more than six percent, then Tuesday morning they release a new ipod?


    What else may they have that they are waiting to release whenever the stock dives?
  • geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"wtf is "upod""

    A typo of "upon". not so much a typo as a freudian slip, but whatever.
  • geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2zeppelin: Apple is ***NOTORIOUS*** for releasing things on Tuesdays. It's a signature thing of theirs. That's why often a lot of people will check the site on Tuesday to see if it's online, if it goes down, they're adding something.

    I'm rather certain their stock prices don't have much to do with it, lest they would have released the 1GB nano over Christmas and saw an even bigger boom. And 6% down isn't exactly a "dive" for the market, it's a market correction, and it happens to a lot of stocks a lot of the time. Happens when a stock has oversold itself.
  • 1337geek, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2isnt there a bigger ipod nano already?
  • adam98971, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2DID ANYONE NOTICE THE 512 SHUFFLE OMG I CAN GET A RIO FOR 40 BUCKS WITH 512 AND IT HAS A SCREEN
  • bipto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Notorious Tuesday releasers...

  • losman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0http://digg.com/technology/CES06:_Freaking_sweet_Sandisk_Sansa_e270_DAP_DVP

    I'm holding out the new SanDisk Sansa e200

    Looks sweet!!
  • mattdm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"1337"geek -- yeah This is an addition to the low end of the line -- and correspondingly to the low end of the price range. Presumably in preparation for ditching the Shuffle.
  • k3n85, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"isnt there a bigger ipod nano already?" well yea the 2 gb, and 4 gb
    but pretty sure people would have a 1gb nano then that pos Shuffle they somehow call an iPod ..
  • bigredgpk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice, i now have a V day gift for my girl now!

    Timmay
  • neozeed, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Sure you can get a rio, but does it work with iTunes?

    Yeah I thought not.
  • blaster78, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0seems a bit small, ive got a nano 4gb and wouldn't want any less space.

    plus my gf has a shuffle, she hates the whole tech thing, doesn't want a screen, listens to a random selection of crap music and loves the way it looks in differnt coloured covers... so theres a place for everything

  • jeromehorwitz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Yea :rolls eyes:

    Fish bait.
  • fernie417, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh, how about that. My shuffle just died a horrible death a few days after it's warranty expired, so I was about head to the Apple store to buy a 2gig nano today. Seems like I now can just settle for a 1gig and not have to spare as large of an expense. =D

    Of course the odds are that it’s not in the stock and brick and mortar stores yet, but cool news nonetheless.
  • TheRealStyro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, finally the Shuffle line-up is aligned with some realistic prices. I get buy a couple 512s and load them up with each a genre of music then leave them in the car & work cubicle.
  • Ducklake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+01 gig sucks, but it's cheap, oh well.
  • tylerman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11. build ipod nano
    2. ?????
    3. PROFIT!!
  • wormdood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I would love to see an 8GB or 10GB nano.
  • IHaveIssues, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"Sure you can get a rio, but does it work with iTunes?"

    Why be saddled with their DRM? I just want to put mp3s in my portable media player.
  • Schda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm kinda excited about the 1GB Nano. I've got a 15G iPod already and was looking for something small for when I'm running or just even a bit more portable. I wouldn't have my whole library with me, but I could put my 4 and 5 star rated songs onto a 1GB I think (will have to check). The extra bonus is when going to class and programming, I just carry the USB cable with and voila instant flash drive! Could carry all my programs and code with me.
  • gaiserrc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"but pretty sure people would have a 1gb nano then that pos Shuffle they somehow call an iPod"

    I think I'm the only one who like the shuffle. No screen who cares. I'm so hard on tech gadgets that i would have a ibrick or a nano with a broken screen.

    BTW try dropping an ipod video or a nano(might still play) off a three story piece of scaffolding. My shuffle works fine, how bought yours.

    I don't sit behind a desk for a living or have time to coddle my ipod.
  • Josephtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0well safe to say the shuffle is dead. For another 50 bucks you'd be nuts not to get the nano. Overall i think this is a bad idea of apple, people who want the sleek style and a screen will go to the nano but the people who don't want the storage will get the cheap one. I think apples going to lose on this one. Wheres a 6gig model Ive been waiting for?
  • Dgen_X, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3this is nice...but I'm still going to pick up the $99 1 gig sansa

    not meaning to flame...but apple needs to add a little more than different storage sizes
  • ScottMaximus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3"but does it work with iTunes?"

    Does the iPod with Video play Divx or Xvid?

    I thought so
  • shockingbird, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I think I'm the only one who like the shuffle. No screen who cares. I'm so hard on tech gadgets that i would have a ibrick or a nano with a broken screen."

    I'm the same bro. The Shuffle is perfect for me. I'm too rough on the things I own and I would break a regular iPod in about a day. Shuffle is light, has a decent amount of songs
  • J4c0b, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0DAMN I got the 1G shuffle...
  • sych0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Wow! Dug to death! Nano > Shuffle
  • znicket, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have the Shuffle and while it is fantastic for what it does (ultra lightweight sound machine) I have a feeling I will upgrade to the 1gb Nano at the first opportunity. Some of it may be due to vanity... it just looks so nice.
  • Skeezicks, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1*YAWN*
  • sahaskatta, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I don't see why they would make a smaller nano, they should make an 8GB nano!

  • Phoenixfury, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I personally think 1 gig with a screen at $149 is going to be the sweet spot for a lot of people. I've wanted a flash based iPod for some time now, but didn't like the idea of the shuffle for the lack of screen nor did I care to bite at the current price points of the 2 gig and 4 gig Nano's. 1 gig is also way more than I need for work outs anyway which is exactly what I'd get it for. Even a 512MB would have been more than enough, but 1 gig would be fine for what I'd use it for.
  • conigs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@ rusty_g: those were all written after this was posted.... what's your point?
  • LA_Nights, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What's the point when for just 50 bucks more ya can get 2 gigs? STUPID!
  • DonLapre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The 512mb shuffle has dropped to $69.99 and the 1gb to $99.99.
  • ra3ndy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2""Sure you can get a rio, but does it work with iTunes?"

    Hell, as long as we're makin up stuff that isn't true, does the Zen pay your taxes on time? Didn't think so.
    (iTunes only uses DRM on songs from the Music Store)
  • conigs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0^^
    Thank you. Too many people don't realize that.
  • Ashiri, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZstore.woa/wa/viewpodcast?id=83922570

    The iPod Flea is upon us!
  • ForbesBingley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0These prices are quite good.

    Let's face it, the higher margin Apple products do nothing to deter most people, now.

    So with these new prices, the uptake is going to take the iPod through the roof...
  • Ashiri, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Sorry. Bad link.
  • SidewalkPilot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0put put put blair blair blair, pokeeto!
  • golie3030, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Here's another story from Gadgetell about the release... http://www.gadgetell.com/entry/697
  • oepapel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"What's the point when for just 50 bucks more ya can get 2 gigs? STUPID! "

    That's what Apple wants you to say. They have a tradition of making the best "value" the higher priced option. They still get to discontinue the shuffle (it's coming... wait for it) because the nano "replaces" it while raising the average selling price for the company. The shuffle isn't competitive anymore and by extending the nano down into the shuffle's capacity domain, they effectively get to raise their prices AND have their customers thank them for doing it!
  • mrFREEZE, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0bastards waited until after the holiday season do release this @$#!!!!

    oh well, my 4gb nano is the only apple product i've ever owned and will probably ever own.
