Do you guys remember the old iPod Nano? The long one before it got replaced with the touch screen square one. I can't find it on the apple site anymore or at walmart, target, and all those big company. What happen? Did apple decided that they don't want to have anything to do with it anymore? I'm just confuse.

There are a lot of "old" iPod nanos. my sister had the very first one, fat and with a tiny black and white screen. I have the one I think you're talking about. usually when a new one comes out, Apple stops selling it and all accessories for it, in order to encourage people to buy the new one. it's a sad thing, but it's one of those marketing tricks.

That was an iPod Mini, not an iPod Nano. The first-gen iPod Nano is the variety I have -- rectangular, fairly thin, white front, silver back, color screen. I've got the 1GB model.

Anyway, yes, Apple isn't manufacturing it anymore. The touch-screen Nano is the only Nano model currently in production.

Touch screen is crap.. I don't NEED to touch my screen... leaving fingerprints and if it gets damaged you lose a 2-4-1. Lost visibility AND functionality. crap crap crap

I had a 1st gen NANO as well. 2GB i believe. It was silver and i put a glow in the dark skin over it. XDDD No colour if i remember xD but it had pretty cooool simple games... Then I upgrade to a 2nd gen 8 GB... cause i got more songs. It had the same games +1.... but UPGRADED. I didnt need them upgraded. =__= games i used to like, now give me a head ache

If it was silver it was probably a second-gen Nano. As far as I know the first-gen only came in white.

Maybe you should consider getting the iPod Classic. It has MUCH, MUCH higher storage capacity and it still uses the click wheel.

It wasn't a colour. XDDD it was just... metal looking XDDDDD Very shiny.

And it can't be a 2nd gen, because as far as I know, the second gen got cut down shorter. I still have that in pink and the screen is in colour. Unless that a 3rd gen? auuu~ too much prooductsss T_T

To me, the iTouch is probably the best-all-around-performance product that you can get from Apple. Anything else will put a strain on you one way or the other (green dough issue excluded.) <<

The Nano was always in color even for the first-gen. You must be thinking of the Mini. The first-gen Mini had one color scheme that was just brushed metal and its screen was monochrome.

Lucid: · Posted 11-29-2010, 04:44 PM

oh, was the fat one called a Mini? okay. it wasn't mine so I just thought it was a nano. but I suppose you're right - I do remember my mom having a 1st gen nano and being frustrated that none of the 2nd gen accessories fit it because the body was slightly less rounded on the 1st gen. the 3rd gen nanos were the ones that were short and ugly, and my tall purple one is 4th gen.

Coda · Posted 11-29-2010, 06:01 PM

Yeah, the second-gen Nanos were the first ones to come in colors.

Duchess · Posted 11-29-2010, 11:24 PM

mmm nooooo It wasnt a mini for sure. hmmm *googles*

^ It was that. Just silver and shiny. Not coloured pink or blue, just shiny silver.

Now I have this baby

Coda · Posted 11-30-2010, 10:13 AM

Okay, then I was right, that is a second-gen Nano. I guess what confused me is that you meant that the body wasn't colored when you said "no colour" -- I thought you meant the screen was monochrome; the Nano has always had a color screen.

Devlyn · Posted 11-30-2010, 12:56 PM

Only the new one is being made? Because I still see fifth gens in stores.

Coda · Posted 11-30-2010, 03:02 PM

Back stock, to my knowledge. I don't believe you can still buy the 5th-gen from Apple.

Zypher · Posted 11-30-2010, 04:15 PM

I have the same ipod as Coda, though mine is somewhat broken. It'll play, but won't turn off until the battery runs out so i have to keep it plugged in if i want to play it past it's battery life. But it's battery lasts a long time.

Coda · Posted 11-30-2010, 05:46 PM

Mine will turn off (just hit the Sleep command on the main menu) but the lock switch is really sensitive -- it generally doesn't stay locked.
