ive done some testing and it seems that on a dual 2.0 g5, a movie taking a two pass process@400kbps for video would take about 2 hours (when the movie itself is two hours) using ha…

You can return normal iPods within 14 days, but not engraved ones.

how funny that i get to participate in one of these threads. ordered a black 30 yesterday. black b/c why not and b/c my girlfriend has a white 30gb photo so it makes things easier…

I have my 60GB iPod Photo all loaded up with my tunes. I got a white 4GB Nano due to it's size and portability (love taking it on my bike rides). I'll get the 60GB white iPod Vid…

I want to announce the following: Even if I am the last one in this thread to get my iPod, I insist to post pictures of the grand package opening experience!

I have not seen anyone mention this anywhere (and I was on a plane when the announcement was made, so I don't know if Steve mentioned this), but what is the speculation of having a…

Two words. FAT CHANCE. Steve wants you to but new. Buisness.

Nano probably doesn't have the power to decode the video.

I'm sure that "fat chance" is probably the answer, but does anyone have any hard info one way or the other? I also thought about the processor speed of the nano as well, but I hav…

Fat chance? Try NO EFFING WAY.

I don't know if "refusing to backport" some features is relevant in all cases. There's a limited amount of firmware storage in devices like these and there are constraints to fit …

My FAT CHANCE was from the hip a bit. Maybe. Just feeling a it bit. Thing is Apple has no real track record of retro fitting new features to 'old' hardware. Why should it? Well …

I remember reading an article after the 4g iPods came out that said something like, "the most interesting features of this new iPod are the ones that no one is talking about, like …

Let's not forget that Apple retro-fit AAC/Fairplay decoding into the ipod software when Apple introduced the music store. Obviously they wanted to make the store available to the w…

Easy, nano doesnt have a h.264/MP4 decoder = No video.
