I don't get it. With Apple's first iPod, there was a major issue with the fact that once the battery wore out, the whole iPod was ready for the trash can. Now they do it again and I haven't heard anybody show any concern. I for one am not ready to pay serveral hundreds of dollars for a product that only lasts as long as a single lithium battery. I see no excuse for this (other than consumer-disregard greed) - many other such players have replaceable batteries. It would not be at all difficult to keep the iPod Nano at its current small size and still have a battery that easily slides out and is replaced - much as is done with hearing aids.
Steve -September 21, 2005
While I agree that a slide out battery would be nice, I wouldn't let it stop you from purchasing a nano. Some of the early iPods had battery problems, but those have largely been resolved. I have a 4th generation iPod and love it. My kids both have first-generation iPods, handed down from me or purchased through eBay, and they are working fine. The battery can be replaced, at least in the previous models. I don't know about the nano.

Everyone claims Microsoft to be the evil empire because of marketing techniques! All I have to say is try to play your digital MP4 Apple proprietary music in any other digital play (Hardware or software). Apple encodes the music you download (Through Itunes) and the music rip so that it must be authorized before you can play it. This is fine I guess other than the fact that you can only use apple products to authorize "YOUR" copy write owned material. I seem to remember when the CD player came out I could use my CD in any device I wanted. SO please tell your readers this before you spread the bliss of apple. OH yea, don’t forget the only place to fix an apple is at apple so have fun with that. PS I used to get my music at iTunes and use an Ipod then I found that all my music I paid for could not be played through winamp(without addins that dont always work), meidaplayer, realplayer, Etc, etc......
Apple come on!!!! -September 21, 2005
I have a 3rd generation Ipod with a dead battery that apple won't replace. I am not going to give them a 2nd chance. Plus their proprietary software prohibits me from using the songs that I have paid for on other pc's. I will never buy another apple ipod EVER again.
Andy -September 21, 2005
I love my iPod Mini and would like a Nano - even with the Apple-esque issues of non-replacable battery etc. What I just don't get, is how every time Microsoft moves someone cries foul (e.g. when Real Networks got the EU to force Microsoft to produce a version of Windows without Media Player that no-one wants to buy - which wouldn't be so bad if the Real Networks product wasn't a bug-ridden piece of spyware), but Apple can hold on to a big chunk of the digital media market with its proprietary iTunes service, AAC files and iPods and everyone says "wow - isn't this great". It seems to me that it's about time someone forced Apple to open up iTunes and AAC to other media players. Oops. Never gonna happen - because that would be the end of the Apple monopoly and Microsoft would step in ;-)

I have the white nano - it simply rocks. I chose the white over the black due to the concerns I had over scratching. The dude at bestbuy showed me his - having been in his, and a couple of associates pockets for a week - it looked like it had been dragged through a hedge backwards.... As paul mentioned, the battery life is indeed incredible - after a couple of journeys from Colorado to the East coast, you appreciate a solid battery. As for those of you with concerns about the battery giving up the ghost in a year or two, I think a replacement battery from Apple, costing approx $50-$90 is not too much of an expense considering the style, form and perfectness of the device. http://www.utahsaint.com - my thoughts on the nano.
UtahSaint -September 21, 2005
While I consider the Ipod a wonderful device it has one devastatingly huge drawback. That is the fact that music into the Ipod is a one way trip. Some of us have libraries of 10,000 plus songs and desire to use the device for not only an entertainment device but a way to back up a valuable music collection. It does me no good to dump all my music into a device that I cannot get back out in case of an all out hard drive crash. I pay for my music with hard earned dollars and do not appreciate Apple attempting to dictate to me how I handle it once I purchase it. I don't care how small the bloody thing gets, if I cannot retrieve my music back out of it when I want to it becomes useless to me.
Shaun -September 21, 2005
I miss FM radio functionality
Max BrainBox -September 22, 2005
You can actually retrieve your music if your hard drive crashes - it happened to me. Apple's "security feature" that "protects" the iPod music actually just hides the files. If you have windows, you can go to the folder properties and tell it show hidden. If you have a mac, get a program called TweakFreak. With it you press one button and voila. What once was hidden is now revealed.
Jeff -September 22, 2005
I think Microsoft can do something. Get the PMP (protableMediaPlayer)as cheap, reliable, and well designed (microsoft branded, of course, no third-branded) as iPod is. Then give it versatile functionality (no hacks to make it work) good battery life, and a non-subscription service for downloading content (pay for download). Release a MediaCenter CE version and be happy. They can do it.
Boolean22 -September 23, 2005
Shaun: The easiest way to get your music back out is not to get it back out at all. You have a COMPLETE copy of your music library sitting right there on your hard drive. Hard drive space is plentiful. Simply make a duplicate of your iTunes music folder and keep it somewhere. Or if you like, select all of your song files in iTunes and export them to one large folder somewhere else (this will remove iTunes underlying folder structure and you'll have all the files in one place). If you have a 2nd hard drive, just put your backup there. If you have an external hard drive, even better. And you can also burn all of your music files to media such as DVD-R for extra safety. If your original hard drive dies, or you lose the music folder, you can simply run iTunes, start over and re-import all of your music files into a new library, using the 2nd/external hard drive/DVD-R as the source. All of your music will be intact.

> All I have to say is try to play your digital MP4 Apple proprietary music in any other digital player. I'm not sure exactly what this kind of statement is supposed to prove. I can make the statement: "All I have to say is: Try to play your digital WMA Microsoft proprietary music in the digital players which have the overwhelmingly largest market share, and they don't work." > Apple encodes the music you download (Through Itunes) and the music rip so that it must be authorized before you can play it. With WMA: Non-iTunes music stores also encode the music you download so that it must be authorized before you play it. And so, your point is...? > This is fine I guess other than the fact that you can only use apple products to authorize "YOUR" copy write owned material. With WMA: This is fine other than the fact that you can only use non-Apple products to authorize "your" copyright-owned material. So...? > I seem to remember when the CD player came out I could use my CD in any device I wanted. These aren't CD players. CDs were originally (and effectively) copy-protected due to the fact that the technology didn't exist to make copies. The recording industry, ironically enough, didn't think far enough ahead to realize that some day, this would be a small issue to deal with. There was a universal standard of "copy protection" inherent in CDs and CD players. Yes, you could record a tape from a CD, but who wanted to do that? (Loss of quality). And even if it happened, nobody cared. Lower quality plus loss of random access to songs plus continued deterioration with each generation of copy made. > OH yea, don’t forget the only place to fix an apple is at apple so have fun with that. The most common "repair" issue for an iPod would be the battery. You seem to think that Apple is the only source for replacement batteries. Wrong. Other than that, your point is...? With the huge numbers (many millions) of iPods sold in recent history, I think we all would have heard of significant repair issues (other than battery replacement, and we've covered that already). What are the numbers, 21 million iPods out there, total, and this is predicted to more than double over the next year? What is it, exactly, that you'd be worried about getting fixed? > PS I used to get my music at iTunes and use an Ipod then I found that all my music I paid for could not be played through winamp(without addins that dont always work), meidaplayer, realplayer, Etc, etc...... Before you purchased your music, you should have been aware of how it could be used, if you'd bothered to read any of the documentation/help that comes with iTunes, or if you'd taken the time to do any research about this on the web; or by reading articles in magazines; or news/magazine reviews; etc. There are no secrets or surprises here, this has all been written up ad-nauseum over the past few years.
Dave -September 23, 2005
I cannot believe people are continuing to whine about the non-replaceable battery "issue". My 1st-gen iPod, purchased May 2002, is finally showing it's age. The battery doesn't last as long as it used to. Still, I figure it'll be another year before it gets to be a problem. And then? Well, I'll get a new one! It's a 1st-gen iPod, an ancient relic! I'd love to replace it now, but my cheap-sense won't let me replace something that still works. I don't think the battery-complainers understand just how long 3 years is in "gizmo-time". By the time the battery dies on your iPod, chances are near 100% that there will be something much more exciting on the market and you won't want your old iPod anymore.
LordRobin -September 23, 2005
According to the information I have, there are plenty of third-party cases available - even ruggedized ones for the iPod Nano. So I would have to question this statement. That Apple should provide such is a question of debate. I personally think it is great for them to allow third-parties such a product development space. "Additionally, most of the iPod nano accessories that Apple has promised are still weeks away from shipping, which is also a shame. You can't get a lanyard, protective case, or carrying case for the device now, even if you were willing to pay extra for something that should have come in the box. Finally, I hate the name. Apple should have kept the iPod mini name, which is far more descriptive—and accurate. Apple's iPod shuffle is smaller than the iPod nano."
Dr. Budo -September 23, 2005
There is NEVER a shortage of iPod accessories... go down to any big box store and you'll see a WALL of accessories for all different kinds of iPods (all w the same connector) And Apple always designs a few for launch of any new model Paul whines that apple cheaped out on a carrying case.. when did they ever ship a carrying case.. back in 2001 maybe? they shipped a belt clip with the iPod mini.. but.. you gotta get something.. or you could just.. put your keys in your 'non ipod' pocket.. hell put your nano in the stopwatch pocket..
mike -September 23, 2005
Regarding the battery issue: Don't throw that iPod away! Go to: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm?Parent=1225&ref=Google%20iPod%20Battery%20General&title=iPod%20Batteries%20%26%20Power%20Adapters ...and replace that battery. I've done three different people's iPods, including my ownm with this replacement and it is awesome. Easy, too. At $30, it makes a lot of sense, and I get better battery life now than I did when my 2G iPod was brand new! Don't add to the landfill. If you still want a new one, replace the battery and give your old (now upgraded) iPod to someone you love... ___ Concerning Mr. Thurrott's fears about breaking the nano by sitting on it, he should read this comical Arstechnica review/torture test here: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/nano.ars/3 Quoting ArsTechnica : "Our first test consisted of placing the iPod nano on a solid wood chair and sitting on it, as people are prone to do from time to time. As you can guess, this 'test' yielded basically zero damage results—so little, in fact, that we didn't even take pictures." After the nano passed all "normal" stress tests with flying colors, they ran over it with a car. It still played despite a broken screen. So they ran over it again! It still played!
iPoditude -September 23, 2005
It's Microsoft's fault... no it's Apple's fault... blah, blah. It doesn't matter whose camp you fall into or support. These two are fierce competitors who REFUSE to cooperate and support each other's media platforms. And the real losers are us... music lover's who are forced to "chosse a side" to enter this wonderful world of digital media. For that reason I have not entered this world yet, even though my kids are iPod owners, but living in a Windows world on the desktop. Everyone should quit praising Apple and ripping Microsoft about this subject. We should all complain, and complain very loudly until there is cross platform support (I'd even be willing to pay for the codecs). I'd love to buy an iPod (they appear to be the best devices on the market), BUT I refuse to live in an AAC world... and I may prefer to not use iTunes as my library. So could you Microsoft and Apple execs figure out a way to come together... for the good of your respective loyal customers???
JayBird -September 26, 2005
blah, blah. It doesn't matter whose camp you fall into or support. These two are fierce competitors who REFUSE to cooperate and support each other's media platforms. -- just one difference, apple puts out quality gear.. ms takes 5 year old ideas and ***** its customers. have a nice day.
mike -September 27, 2005
Exactly what I was referring to... I'm not going to debate the Apple vs. Microsoft story... it's old, . The point is interoperability. The windows media codecs are high quality... you can't argue with that. They are proprietary, I can't argue with that. Apples refusal to support these codecs does nothing but force it's users to the iTunes store for music. And Microsoft not supporting AAC is the same narrowminded monopolistic viewpoint. They BOTH are guilty of this. Apple clearly has the best hardware on the market for music players... and Microsoft, by the way, doesn't make gear, they are a software company.
JayBird -September 27, 2005
and no-one even mentions the price? Beats me why people are so anxious to pay this high price for less functionality than you can get from dozens of different makes and types of MP3 players coming out of Asia. Do your homework, test a few different options, and save many $. You can get replaceable batteries, better battery life, no DRM, built in radio, carry cases etc etc, and still save money
Freddy -September 28, 2005
Freddy, You mention the Asian MP3 players being cheaper. Which ones? They seem to be scrambling (from the articles I've read) to drop their price to be close to what Apple is charging for the nano.

Just get a 1GB player with a memory slot - heaps under $100, usually much less - just did a quick search on ebay, many around $80. 1GB memory is getting very cheap ($60 to $80, maybe less), the combination will cost significantly less than a nano, and you get many extras, like a radio etc

Dave. you seem to forget, your paying for your music on Itunes. copyright law allows you to have a back up copy once you have a license for the media.. the Ipod is a Rip off first off you have a built in rechargeable battery which will eventually stop working and the life span decrease's each time you charge it.. when it goes you have to go back to apple because you have to open the unit to replace the battery unless you want to void your warranty... This means every year or so Apple will collect more money from you to fix your player.. Itunes is crap you cant transfer you music to CD and listen to it on your home AV system or on another PC or any other device except your Ipod.. the whole ipod itunes thing is a monopoly and all the suckers are buying ipods to look cool thats the only reason marketing hype.. Dave your a slave to marketing,,, Do yourself a favour, buy a player that supports multiple formats, has a removable battery (without having to dis- assemble your player). The Creative Zen micro is my choice, Dictaphone calendar etc etc removable battery so you can have an extra battery with you at all times... you can buy it in what ever colour you want and it wont cost you as much,, Dave most consumer DVD players will play WMA & Mp3 none of em play ACC Dave if you dont bring you player to apple to replace the battery you void your warranty You say you should have researched your player so you would know that your locked into apple when you buy music form Itunes - thats crap because most people get these as presents.. So why have apple gor a monopoly bigger that MS you talk about degradation when coping from CD to tape.. what do ya think happens when you get an Mp3\Acc file its compressed so your loosing quality there aswell, your not very clever now are you Your hole you need to use no apple products to verify wma - come on now what r ya talking about apple only make 1 type of player and 1 type of OS -- So practically everything in the PC\Mp3\ CE markets are non apple-- just think about it.. Ignorance is bliss

Apple is considerably overpriced when compared to anything Microsoft puts out. You can easily see who was able to gain market share in the past for other products. Microsoft is slow? Yes. But that is expected of any company that size. You are expecting a $285 Billion company to be as quick as a $50 Billion company. Apple has always made their products proprietary and just, as in the past, they will once again suffer in the future because of this. The company has grown because of the IPOD. You can't make a company survive on one product. The Macs have been around forever yet they've had limited success. Why? Because apple doesn't like to open up interoperability for the sole purpose of charging more money from consumers. Yes Microsoft is a giant 'evil' corporation to many, but at the same time, its pricing schemes and interoperability have allowed much of the world to partake in the computer revolution. I don't see apple helping very much with that. Apple has always gone for the image. They convince through advertising and appealing to the senses of insecure trend stars. They don’t try to change the world; they try to earn more money by fleecing folks interested in their status or the latest cool gadget. With that said, I bought into apple as well simply b/c they executed one smart move and were able to shut out the competition by striking a deal to get cheap memory from Samsung. That effectively destroyed any near term competition and virtually guaranteed that they could charge what they wanted for the nano. But you can bet when another giant company strikes a similar deal with the flash memory makers to get gear cheap, competition will once again kill apple---no matter how much marketing they do. The Mac will never be adopted by corporations and Apple's one successful product (the ipod) will not help keep the company on top forever. Until then, the graphic artists and trend stars can continue to shell out money for Apple's overpriced gear which has the built in benefit of becoming obsolete or needing battery replacement. What would be nice is if MSFT bought out creative or iriver. Now that would just kill apple and make sure that the consumers don’t have to pay exhibit amounts to replace a battery.

I have been using apple products forever, and I have not once had any compatability problems. I have a third party app that lets me convert anything to almost antthing. I mostly use it for it's WMA->Mp3 then i simply convert them into m4a for itunes. As for downloaded music, dod you know that if you burn an audio cd in itunes that negates that copy protection, thus you can take it to a PC and rip it again to whatever format you want it in. As for not being able to take music off your iPod, i also have an app that does that. If you know where to look you can do anything. Your just ignorant for not trying

I'm really annoyed just because of the incompatibility of IPOD with older versions of Windows (ME specifically). Preparing my grandfather's nano has been an absolute NIGHTMARE because the new software doesn't work with the old windows, and the old software and new hardware doesn't work with the newer versions of the OS. Christ, he doesn't want to spend more money to upgrade, but it's either upgrade or the nano is useless to him. He wanted a reliable music media for work, what he got was a neverending quest for compatibility at home. Now the Architecture student/grandson has to try to put the pieces together... I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS!!!!!!

I really want to buy a music player. I use iTunes on my PC. Buying a portable device without a replaceable battey is stupid at best and environmentally insensitive. What I want is something that 1. plays AAC files, 2. I don't care about DRM, because I don't (and won't) buy music online [i only rip my own CDs]. 3. needs a replaceable battery 4. shold have 1GB built-in 5. must be expandable with flash memory (or similar??) that can be populated via a fast interface [ie - if I have to go thru the player to load music onto flash card, and that process is half or slower than copying music straight to flash card with dedicted card reader, then forget about it]. seems like a simple idea. no where is it?

YOU CAN REPLACE THE IPOD NANO BATTERY. I am going to buy one on eBay it only costs about $15.00 or LESS on eBay or some third party website for a 400mAh or 330 mAh (which costs less). I think the factory Nano comes with 300mAh so either way you end up with MORE PLAY TIME by replacing the battery. The 3rd party products which have just recently been popping up (end of feb 2006) come with tools to help you remove the old battery and replace with the batter that comes with the $15 that you paid. I will be buying one soon even though I've only used my nano for about 5 months, the battery life too low for my liking. And at $15 for much increased battery life there's nothing to lose, except maybe.. my Ipod Warranty... Haha.

hi -October 2, 2006
I've read through the endless battery chats but what I was taking note to are the warranties included from apple. Anyone find those worth buying? Think not. I just went into best buy and got a nano and a two year $30 replacement plan. I can't imagine how that wouldn't be a benefit. Yeah, battery replacements are cheaper than $30, but the replacement plan covers much more than just the battery. My question to all you guys out there is, how long have *your* batteries lasted for? When wondering if I should purchase a two year plan, I had *heard* that batteries can go around 1.5 years - so I figured the plan was especially worth it since Apple charges $60 for their battery replacement. Any thoughts? I think Best Buys plan is a pretty sweet deal..
Shimmy -October 24, 2006
Don't buy an I-pod.... Geeze... The I-pod is just a fad. Buy a Creative Zen... I have the Zen "Sleek Photo", And love it. Yes, It's a little big and heavy, but it is built well, full-featured, And is fully compatible with Windows Media Player. In fact, It will even import your WM Playlists. The only downside to it is the non-replaceable battery. (Altough my battery works like new, even after one year, and a lot of use).

Hello there, there is a huge issue with iTunes and this is music compatibility. Register your concern with Apple by following this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html and pasting this text in: "I would just like to ask whether in the next version/update of "iTunes" you will allow compatibility for other devices e.g Creative e.t.c. I believe that this would make sense for you as "iPods" have the market for portable music playing but "iTunes" is generally only used with "iPods" but if it were to be used with devices other than iPods then this great piece of software would be moved into the market for music downloads. At the moment I have downloaded around three or four albums from "iTunes Store" and can only play them on my cd player or computer. As I don't have an iPod but a name brand MP3 player I would like to be able to play my music on my MP3 player. There are many people around on the internet that would like to be able to use this feature. The advantages of this for you as a company? >Increased status as a great company who respect their customers >More purchases through iTunes Store >More people using Apple products >Respect from people who are beginning to think of Apple as "the new microsoft" Currently on the internet many people are clamouring for your attention on this issue here is the link to one such website: http://www.connectedhomemag.com/Audio/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=47801 I searched various phrases, in google,containing the phrase "I hate <apple brand>". Here are the results of these searches: Results 1 - 10 of about 3,780,000 for I hate apple. (0.26 seconds) Results 1 - 10 of about 2,760,000 for I hate ipod.

(0.21 seconds) Whereas I searched similar phrases with your competitors’ brands you still are comparitively less hated than some of your competitors but some of your products are more hated than products from your competitors: Results 1 - 10 of about 4,910,000 for I hate windows.

Above (Dec 26 '05) I asked about what I wanted in a perfect MP3 player. Well lo' and behold it finally exists - the Sandisk Sansa E200R series. Plays AAC files, replaceable battery, direct USB connectivity, expandable with flash memory (microSD in this case). I'm not interested in DRM files, so the Rhapsody thing is a non issue for me. This thing has everything I asked for!

On Dec 26 '05 (above) I asked for what I thought was a simple design for a reasonable MP3 player. Well its finally here! The SanDisk Sansa E200R series - AAC file support, replacable battery, microSD flash memory expansion, direct USB support! As I said, I don't deal with DRM at all, so that's a non-issue for me. I finally have a MP3 player!

Not finding replacement batteries for the NANO. It appears soldering is required. What a piece of crap. Apple wants $60 to replace it. They replace the whole unit and not the battery. Jobs is an uncool ***!

1: Apple replaces the whole nano when you get a new battery because that's the easiest and fastest way for them to do it. Your old nano, with a new battery, will be given to someone else - they don't scrap them. 2. If you're using Windows Me in 2007 (I could say "if you use Windows Me at all", but won't), you're being pretty dumb. Windows XP, or even Windows 2000, is much, much, much, much better - more reliable, better supported, more compatible with everything else in the world, better all around. My sympathies for your "I'm using Me, I need help doing..." is pretty limited - they don't call Windows 98/Me "Wintendo" for nothing.

well, i personally have no problem with my ipod nano. i've got one of the new chrome ones; and they're pretty snazzy. i have no problem with the charge, and i listen to it all the time. it's never died on me- i just wish i knew how to do more with it! :)
