New iPod nano dumps scroll wheel and video for square screen

That is really ugly, yay to another generation of terrible ipods.

In the keynote announcing the new products being released, i hate how steve jobs says they have an all new model for every ipod. Are they just blowing off the ipod classics?? Some people need ipods like that to store a lot of things and i think apple is very capable of creating a new ipod classic that has much more memory...

definitely getting one in black with a wristband to clip it onto.

I'm mostly going to use it as a watch, and clip it elsewhere when I want to listen to some music.

I already have a jailbroken 3gs which more than covers all my needs, and the nano compliments it perfectly for me

Sure looks like the Nano speaker is gone, too. I'll have to watch for clearance on the old ones.

That nano is my next watch.
And the Touch will save me from getting my kid an iphone4.
And Appletv is for me.

Wait, you mean the Chinese products that are ripping off the iPhone?

Wearing it as a watch is ridiculous, unless it has BlueTooth to support wireless headphone -- having a cable running from headphones to a moving arm would be like being handcuffed. The best wearable Nano ergonomics is still the 1st and 2nd gen Lanyard headphones. Being able to clip the new Nano to one's chest is the next best thing, I suppose.

However, I too am disappointed by the loss of video. For an audio only device, a fancy screen ain't that important. I currently commute listening to audiobooks on my 2nd Gen Nano. If it died, I'd gravitate towards the Shuffle instead. I'm not even slightly tempted by this new one whereas I was impressed by the 4th Gen.

Instead placing the screen on top of a half nano cover, why not around the screen like the iphone4?... Or why not a complete black color choice? R.I.P. Nano

If this thing has iOS-How long before a jailbreak?

Apple fixed the Shuffle and screwed up the Nano. This thing is a Shuffle with a screen. I took a look at the tech specs and there does not seem to be a way to view video or photos on it. (let alone take them) The previous generation Nano was the best, IMO.
