Apple dropping the iPod
« on: August 02, 2017, 06:00:03 PM »
Just told by a guy at work that Apple is dropping the iPod Shuffle and Nano, leaving only the touch.  I hate that decision.  Don't want to use my phone for music, as it drains battery I use for calls and such.  Guess I'll ride my Classic until it dies.

I have an Ipod for sale if anyone is interested.  ;)

I stopped buying the ipods after Apple killed the square version of the shuffle, or whatever it was called.

Liked that one a lot. Great for exercising, hiking, etc.  Small, good battery life.  Had two. Sent the first through the laundry. It was not waterproof.  :laugh:

I still have a Creative Zen that I bought back in 2004 that I use for that sort of thing.

Damn thing is indestructible.

Every couple years, I find an old MuVo V200 512M that I bought long ago.  Really wish they'd revive that one with 32-64GB and support for more folders.  Battery life was great, and with no need for a cord or drivers, it was handy.

Still have mine too.  Great little player.
