Apple - iPod nano - Music player, movie player, and video camera.

it's pretty weird how the new ipod has a video recording function, but doesn't have a camera function for still photos. i wonder why....

 

[goony]

This could be the upgrade i was looking for. They say $249 for the 16GB in the news, but i think that's US currency.

 

[breaking]

nah they have them at jb hifi, they're actually cheaper than the nanos they are replacing

 

[youngminii]

When a newer generation of an apple product is released, it is always cheaper than the generation it replaces
In return, the price of the product doesn't go down over time, it's always the same (from the apple store anyway)

but whats the point of a VGA resolution camera. I mean, most phones are at least 2 megapixel now.

The camera only records video, at 30FPS. Phones don't generally record video at '2 megapixels' (I mean that would be like HD video).

Yeah I don't understand why you can't take pictures with the nano

Maybe you can later through firmware upgrade.
Just like the Ipod Touch, Bluetooth hardware came out before the firmware and you have to buy that firmware. :O

There's bluetooth on my ipod touch? What?

 

[dolbinau]

The iPod Touch (2nd generation only), had a chip that was originally used for the Nike pairing, but in the 3.0 update became a fully featured bluetooth chip (well fully featured in terms of Apple's standards, such as for playing P2P games with the new firmware features).

As of yet, I don't think you can transfer files or anything.

Haah I've got 1G

You can transfer files but only to other ipod touch through apps from the itunes store, its not free from last time i checked and i dont think its worth it to buy it.

What i cant wait is when tomtom for iphone will be ported to ipod touch and its bluetooth will support a bluetooth gps reciever.

way to extend the features of an ipod nano with a video camera.

 

[G15]

loo, maybe they dont have new ideas for a new ipod other than a video camera

 

[Uncle]

maybe if the creators were more interested in health and fitness than filming boys and men in toilets with small concealable devices they would install a heart beat monitor which ive long needed a new one than install a fucking video camera.
