message: Is there need to list ten to twelve reviews of this product?  It's a MP3 player; is there much more to read about?  Thanks! -- Perfecto  14:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: "However, early reviewers have noted the iPod nano to have a sound quality similar to that of the previous iPods, citing a lack of bass and tonal clarity when compared to competing music players."
So can we have a source showing that "someone, somewhere" found the iPod nano's audio quality to be lacking? TIA. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.73.35.136 (talk • contribs) 11:49, September 8, 2005  (UTC)
:This "lack of bass" meme seems overblown anyway. Unless someone can cite a blind listening test, it's just standard audiophile nonsense. Subjective and useless. Qtac 00:32, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

message: :However, after one week of sales, iPod nano sales are generally lower than expected with only the 4 GB black model selling strongly. AppleInsider's own investigation found that two of the Apple Stores in California had only sold a few hundred iPod nanos, out of a stock of over 1400, by Saturday September 10. [8] Despite this, outside the US, iPod nanos are under heavy demand, with many stores selling out their entire stock within minutes.
Does anyone have updated information on nano sales? RodC 22:55, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I have heard from a few friends with iPod nano and a Media Center PC that the iPod nano doesn't work with this. I've looked and asked other friends, but I don't get definitive answers. Anyone know the truth? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.208.17.115 (talk • contribs) 17:00, October 4, 2005  (UTC)

message: Okay which bit is "patently untrue"?  
"there was no prior notice of the mini being discontinued"?  Because as far as I can remember Apple don't pre-announce when products are going to disappear.  They only announce that new ones are coming out.  The one exception that springs to mind is their operatings system.
"there was no prior notice of ... the nano being introduced"?  Since when do Apple give people notice that they are going to bring out a new product?
How is this, "The announcement of the nano took the press completely by surprise since there was no prior notice of the mini being discontinued or the nano being introduced.", in any way notable? AlistairMcMillan 06:52, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think you'll find that rumour sites had been talking about an iPod that was flash-based, but including a screen unlike the shuffle, for a while before the nano was announced.  I think you'll also find that whenever a "reputable" source reports on an upcoming Apple product, they have picked up the story from Apple news sites.  Anyway I agree, the nano replacing the mini was a shock to everyone, but the sentence you just restored says a lot more than that.  If that sentence was re-written to reflect the "nano replaces mini" thing only, would that be agreeable?  AlistairMcMillan 08:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I added a mention of how the iPod nano works with Gtkpod on Linux. I didn't go into finer details as GTkpod wont do photo etc. as this article is about the Nano and not Linux. But I thought anyone reading the article and going to purchase it, might like to know it will work across all three main OS'es. --Duey Finster 22:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
