The Thinnest Ipod

Apple has unveiled the latest version of its iPod Nano, featuring what it says are the thinnest measurements yet.

The fourth generation Nano was launched at a US press conference by Apple chief Steve Jobs, who announced new shuffle and library features.

He also listed the Nano's environmental credentials, including arsenic-free glass and a mercury and PVC-free body that is "highly recyclable".

The Nanos are expected to sell in the UK for £109 ($191) for the 8GB version.

The 16GB version will retail at £149

How Many Ipods have you had? I had one of the old Shuffles that was like the size of a packet of chewing gum, then i got an old nano then i got one of the most recent nanos.

What exactly is the obsession with Apple over other mp3 player brands? Is it the white earphones?? lol

I don't know what the obsession is either.

I got an iPod shuffle with my bank account and it was crap, I gave it away.

I've had the same Sony mp3 player for over 3 years and I've dropped it loads of times and it's fine. It's only 1gig but it's enough for me. It has a screen with a backlight and it tells me what's playing, cost the same as the iPod Shuffle did at the time and the iPod Shuffle has no screen.

I think they look the nicest out of all the mp3 players out there. But other than iPods I hate Apple. Way too over hyped in my opinion and their iPhones are crazily over priced for the measly features they have.

I've had my Sony over 3 years and I use it every day and the best thing is, it has exactly the same battery life as it always has because it uses one AAA battery which lasts aaaaages and means no worries about charging it. Plus it is round so it bounces and fits nicely in my hand.

Ipods seem to break all the time and the batteries run down over time like phone batteries do.

I like my iPod anano, had it for about 9 months with hardly any bother- although it would be good if it had an internal radio- I have the radio attachment but it uses a lot of battery and the cable is really long.

Before that I had a Sony, which was ok, but I found the software with it a bit rubbish! Part of the headphone socket broke just out of warranty, and I took it to the Sony Centre cos I have a mate that works there, and he said that even getting it fixed at cost price would cost nearly as much as a new MP3 player :(

I have a 3rd Generation 10 GB iPod, Black 20 GB Video iPod, and a 8 GB 1st Generation iPhone. The first one lasted me three years and then the battery started dying, so I bought the video one. Then, I wanted a phone, so I bought the iPhone.

I have a 1 GB Sansa Express aswell, it can record radio programs and voice. I love it!

I've had my black 1st gen nano for years, got it a few months after they were released.

It has a few scratches but still works.

It's been to Canada twice too :)

Haha and what are you implying about our North American friends across the pond:P

On topic I have had 2 ipods, my first one still works, but I wanted one that could play videos for my train trips to keep me entertained when the train gets majorly delayed. Hasn't gone wrong yet... touches wood

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
