IPod noob here. Planning to get one this weekend but still haven't make up my mind on whether the Nano or Video. Just wanna find out whether is music playback on the 5G Video skip free since it's running on a harddisk unlike the flash memory on the Nano? And also whether is it prompt to failure since it's a moving part cause I'm planning to use it for exercise. Sorry if the question is a bit stupid but hey, as I said, I'm a noob.

QUOTE(benQue @ Jun 7 2006, 06:45 PM) it isnt skip free, Thanks for the info. If you say it isn't skip free, how well does it stand from movements like jogging? Anyway, you are really lucky but your statement there worries me cause your first IPod only live for a year. dun worry as long as it is in warranty period, u have nothing to worry about. got my 2nd ipod today  the old one they say cannot be repaired, got a new one lor  i bought the old one in june, lucky it stop working just rite before the warranty ends. now my new one got another 12 month warranty since i register today hahaha.   QUOTE(KilJim @ Jun 7 2006, 10:42 PM) Nano is like freaking small...which is great but the screen also becomes small Yes, I agree to that the size on the 5G IPod is very acceptable. I gotta admit that my first choice was the Nano, but after comparing their specs, the video came into the picture. And also, if comparing in terms of cost and GB sizes, video win hands down although I know that the flash drive on the Nano is certainly better and more pricey. But just afraid that the harddisk on the video is prompt to failure as it has moving mechanism. It's a toss between whether u prefer mobility/smaller size, or dont mind having something bigger and would prefer lotsa more features For me the 5th gen's size is pretty acceptable, so i'd take it over the Nano It's even thinner than my Mini  This post has been edited by phoenix: Jun 8 2006, 12:52 PM |

QUOTE(prasys @ Jun 8 2006, 04:19 PM) phoenix : Nah ..it depends how well....you take care of it Yap... That is what I was thinking too. I saw how the Nano was put to the test till it died. But I didn't see any similiar test to the video. If the video can tahan as much as the Nano, sure no need to think twice liao. I tried to do gila gila exercise...Dont worry , have you seen the review where iPod Nano was put to the test...Bah , dont worry about falls , etc..It would still rock on . In this case , I would say go for nano. But if you dont mind the bigger size , go with 5G iPod. If you ask me , if you're getting in Malaysia...The 30GB iPod 5G seems to be worth the $$$$ |

QUOTE(KilJim @ Jun 8 2006, 11:38 PM) Are u really expecting to torture your iPod? Alamak! Merc tank philosophy also keluar. Compared to the Nano indeed it's more fragile, but its not very fragile itself Its like "nooo...i wanna get a Merc but a tank is tougher" Haha... I'm not saying that I'm gonna torture the video should I get one. I'm just worried cause I go to the gym to workout pretty often and therefore involve lots of movement. Scared the HDD in the video gets damage by it mah. Just wanna ask the experts lo. Anyway, it's one more day to IPod purchase day. Nyek nyek nyek... |
