Hmmm new Ipods

They are out for few hours and no post.

 

I am underwhelmed. I didnt expect much change but thought they would do a 64mb 499$ Ipod touch.

 

Anyway, the genius function is what I thought B&O would do. Tha lack of intrst stresses even more how an inviting UI is a must for this .......... Somehow Apple didnt get that communicated right. Fo rmost, genus should be a kick ass feature. 

Just got mine working! It took all yesterday evening for Genius to sort out my Library - first impressions are excellent!

Do I understand correctly that the Nano's screen will be curved?

 

The Nano itself is curved, but I think the screen is flat. Don't know for sure, though...

They have also dropped the iPod classic 160Gb - glad I got mine when I did!

I love the new Genius function on iTunes - making up all sorts of playlists which I would not have thought of.

Hmmmm🤔 - first go after installing "Genius" feature and it says -

 

3rd go and it's included the same song twice (from a selection of 2850) in a playlist of 25 songs. It seems the "Genius" function is a little more modest than they claim. To be honest I've had a better compilations from the "Party Shuffle" feature which is all but random.

Is it meant to learn as you go on or does it just speculate from the genres assigned to music when you import it?

If it gets any better over the coming days I'll be sure to let you know.
