New iPod Nano w/video concerning NW-A800

[Bazooka]

Just picked up a Black 8 gig Apple Nano from the Apple store in Madison Wi. FYI, video does NOT play continuously to the next video file like the NW-A800's do. Video cannot even be repeated over again. Also, the video looks great, no audio/video sync problems BUT......the video framerate gets choppy often. I use the same mp4 files on my 2gig Sony memory stick duo on my PSP with NO choppiness whatsoever.

Music wise, still no custom EQ like the NW-A800.

The Nano has way slicker menus than the NW-A800's, but thats where it ends.

Just thought I would throw my 2 cents out to those torn whether or not to get a the new Nano or a NW-A800.

Oh yeah, you get the same cheap earbuds with the nano to.

Apple are crap...........cheap earbuds, poor SQ and now poor video. But I will only get away with making such a statement on this forum.

I remember reading a review of the ipod nano in a PC magazine, they listed all the faults then gave it 5/5 stars. In the same mag they gave a review of the HD3, practically gave it the thumbs up and gave it 3.5/5.......where do go.?

PLUS,I am already sick of the media crawling all over the bloody iphone and we don't even have in our country yet. From what I can see it is about the size of a small book, totally impractical.

Walkman players have much, MUCH better sound quality, than iPods have. The iPod's playback time sucks, while Walkman players have min. 30 hours (my A608 plays 50hrs). iPod is for fashion not for listening to music BTW i think Sony players look much better, and they are unique.

can you compare the video quality to the a800?

Ye maybe Sony have better audio but Apple allow iPods to be used on EITHER Mac or Windows...

Now if Sony were to do THAT, they would probably have a bigger share in the market...

oh and 4 those of you wondering, i do use an iMac

the new sony's are drag and drop so I guess mp3s and aac should work fine on a mac no?
