The biggest problem I have is choosing a colour.
I got a black one last week mate , it is a lovely piece of kit.
The size,battery life and quality screen make it a joy to use.

Had a play with the Itouch today and browsed the yak yak in the apple store it is bloody stunning how easy it is to browse the Internet , very impressed. I'll be leaving out the touch I think my business mobile is due for new contract so here comes the iphone in November.

In the apple store there was a tramp who shoved his autograph at me his name was Ricky Tomlinson I was to busy so gave him a hiya mate and hunted out the ipod.

I'm just pleased nobody really has them in stock yet. The only reason for me to get one over a new Nano is for the video and I can play my vids better on my Cowon.

My wallet thanks Apple for the delay but still grumbles about the new Nano. ITunes currently being reinstalled.

So. Any good vids we can buy for these things?

I had a first Gen Nano but sold it after I bought my Samsung. The Samsung is a really nice player but I always missed my Nano.

If there was one in store it would have been 60/40 chance I would have got one !
It is no doubt the gadget to own , come Christmas they will be rare as rocking horse shit. If any Arthur Daily's out there want to make some money get 10 of them and sell them on eBay you will make enough to buy yourself and wife children them come the new year.

Lucky cunt. :D I rate this thing super highly. My poor laptop has been sadly neglected this week. Did you go for the 8 or 16 gig?

16. :D Loving the YouTube browsing at the moment. I can see that turning into a bit of a twitch-reaction during dull bits of real telly.

iTunes Store, then. What's the story with DRM? I'm getting a deeply tedious message moaning about how I've already authorised five computers and if I want to download stuff I'll have to deauthorise one of them, etc.

Pile of old cocks, that.

Anyone know a good music-vid download site?

Im finding 16 gig quite manageable. Got a nice set of music and video currently loaded and still have 7 gig free. On the DRM, you can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. So you'll need to deauthorize one to gain a free slot. I think you can do this from the store using a menu option.

Note that upgrading hardware can add to your count. In case this happens you can deauthorize all computers once per year and start from zero again.

Yes it's shit and Apple need to bin it asap.

Apple will sometimes deauth you before the year is up if you ask nicely. They did it for me once.

Fuck. There's lots of stuff I want to buy in the Apple store again. I hate this shit.

Be nice if Apple would chuck out a few games and extra applications. Loads of room on the menu screen for 'em...
