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

    • It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).
    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
