ipop nano 7th gen

**Tekki** · 2012-09-12 13:23

new touch

**Omniyoji** · 2012-09-12 13:27

Don't understand why they have to demo these games on phone/touch.... should keep keynote simple/shorter

**Lonely** · 2012-09-12 13:35

The new iPod Touch looks awesome.

EDI: Bah.
$299 32GB / $399 64GB for the new, 4th gen touch still 200+$.

BUT I can sell my 32GB for good money for a iPhone 5 though.

Damn it, wheres the one of YOU doing it.

Anyways. No price on those buds. They said they spent 3 years working on them. They will come with the new nano, phone and touch.

I wish the touch had the slate finish on the back...

What happened to that Apple fanboi that used that avatar from FFXII?

**Hank** · 2012-09-12 14:23

I'm buying the 5 because I've never had a smart phone, but I'm already somewhat invested in the app store thanks to my touch. I was wondering about the screen protectors people buy and lay across the surface, do those hog up the glass once removed? I'm picturing what's left when you pull off a sticker.

**Azull** · 2012-09-12 14:32

Unless you somehow manage to do major damage to the screen despite the screen guard (hammer and nail?) the screen will be the same as it was when you put it on.

**jmc** · 2012-09-12 14:34

Girlfriend will be getting the 5, finally deciding to move up from her 3GS.

As for me, the tech that finally came out for the phone (larger screen, LTE) is the main reason why I switched back to android over a year ago. So nothing ground breaking for me to warrant switching back to iOS

Mayareira? Doesn't post on here that much anymore.

Also wanted to add how accurate a lot of those rumors were before event. Unfortunately makes event less exciting for those that care. They should better cover those leaks...

**mistmonster** · 2012-09-12 14:46

Yay, finally get to upgrade from my 3gs, can't believe it made it this long. I'm not nice to it at all. Can't wait to see how it compares to my my work phone (Galaxy nexus)
