    Does this support M4A (AAC) and Apple Lossless? If so, here comes an interested buyer!

    @(Starman) AnalysisDialysis: Unfortunately, no AAC--just MP3, WMA, protected WMA, Audible, FLAC, and OGG. Not sure why AAC's left off, actually, it'd make sense for the Clip+ to support it.

    @Dan Nosowitz: I'm actually surprised that protected WMA is on the list. And I can understand leaving Apple Lossless off, but no AAC? I think it would make more sense, too, seeing how it gives off more quality sound at lower bit-rates and takes less space than MP3s.

    If you use a PMP while working out and you use an iPod, I question your sanity. At $50 these are great for tough environments, and it's guilt free when you beat it to a pulp, soak it in sweat, and it finally fails. I find it funny to watch people trying to work out while cradling and protecting their precious iPhones and iPods.

    @DustyButt™: Agreed. When a water/sweat resistant iPod makes it to market, my opinion will change, but the newer gen Nanos seem to not be as moisture resistant as the G1/G2.

    I'm seriously thinking about this for the motorcycle, but my iTunes dependency is preventing my purchase.... for now.

    Anyone got other screenshots? Damn, I want this. Video is something the iPod Touch absolutely blows at, to the point where I don't use video at all. I'd ditch my iPod Touch for this no problem.

    @Thao: I'm assuming that with foreknowledge of the touch's codec compatibility, you mean the actual video performance. I call shenanigans, as any touch in good working order is very good at actually playing the video.


    If you mean compatibility, perhaps you should check before buying next time.

    Giz, be honest. If this was shiny and had a metallic apple on the back you'd be all over how this is one of the greatest players of all time.

    I'm no MS fanboy, in fact I prefer linux, and I don't have many gripes with OSX (just a couple), but the amount of sheer Steve Jobs/Apple ass-kissery in this blog is sickening.

    @Morgan Breden: Then go somewhere else, or block out Apple posts as they have described many times. Or you can go start up your own non-Apple tech blog.


    Seriously. Complaining about it won't help anyone or anything.

    Please, Sony, don't come up with a proprietary audio codec if this gets popular.

    @newtype2011: How so? proprietary lock-in is still going strong in 2009. If you think not, try and load that free piece of software called "iTunes" on your unix/linux workstation.


    The question is, has Sony learned their lesson? Or are they eying Apple's obvious success with lock-in schemes and trying to figure out how to make a new one that people will accept?

    This is only for music lovers. Noise Canceling built-in. Well time to erase all my music from my iPod and keep it for movies. I am already running of space in my 80GB 5.5G :/

    @ae86takumi:

    Um, don't you need specific hardware for proper noise cancellation? I'm pretty sure from my understanding of the technology and from the reviews I've seen that a magic switch on the device won't make much of a difference in terms of filtering external noise.

    "To give you an idea of the size, it fits perfectly in that little change pocket of a pair of jeans."


    Change pocket? Really? You haven't studied your classic Americana very much have you? I can't even imagine how hard it would be to dig change out of that little thing.


    Its a LIGHTER pocket! Likely originally designed to neatly hold a Zippo.

    I used to think Giz was "suckling at the Apple teat", but now I think you are just all hot and bothered for anything touchscreen. I can not say I share the perspective, but I appreciate the knowledge that with a pretty touchscreen device and sleek OS that anyone can get a very positive review from the land of Giz. (That said you could, and perhaps will, easily argue that these are the only features that matter today.)
