Don't know, but they made no reference to the Shuffles sound in the review, so maybe not.

Seems promising.

Now I gotta return my 1 week old Zen Micro and get this....

Just when I thought I was out, they drag me back in. What a coup for Apple, I see a black Nano in *my* future!

Creative have made a slimmer flash player - only 1gb though and no fancy scroll wheel or colour screen. I dont like Apple as a company and i wont be buying this but the 2gb is good value , not so sure about the 4gb though as you can get cheaper 6gb players. ( i dont care about hdd vs flash memory)

So lets have some Zen Micro Photo vs Ipod Nano reviews....

 

[doomlordis]

Sonys new A1000 is only £169 on sony style and is 6gb and looks better value wise and looks wise inho.shame you have to wait until late OCT for it!

hrm.. this thing seems perfect for the gym.. though id much prefer the 8/10 gb cause my mood/music preference seems to always change at the gym =[

how does the zen micro hold up at the gym?

 

[scorpian007]

The Zen Micro holds up fine as long as it isnt sudden jolts (i.e. like a sudden hit to the ground). As long as its a continuous motion, its fine.

come to taiwan... everyone wears their electronics around their neck, cell phones, mp3 players, any gadget you can think of. I've seen a lot of cute girls with a laynard like the one pictured on the second page of the thread...

well, i think iPod won the game by creating something that is fully functional yet is so thin that you won't feel like you're carrying around a book in your pocket

I want one... too bad I'm a poor exchange student and I'm not allowed to get a job on my Visa

it seems nano is a flash memory based ipod, not a shuffle with LCD.

 

[Fido]

Will i be possible to connect the Nano directly to a normal computer, if you were to use it to transport documents, or do you have to do that via a docking station??

The WM8975 that it uses has an output capacitorless mode. Judging from the PCB, it looks like they're using that mode. That should mean that the Nano doesn't have the bass rolloff issues with low impedance headphones that the older iPods (but not the Shuffle) did.

Uh, dude. Thats the whole point of the Nano, that its flash based, just like the Shuffle.

Nano doesn't have a usb connector but a cable with apple connector in the other end usb in the other should work.
