Question Posted Thursday November 29 2007, 7:09 pm
Are 5th generation iPods obsolete? I literally JUST got mine before the new ones came out and there's a bunch of people parading around with iPod minis ALREADY. I like my iPod, it's compact, it holds 30 gig, maybe not as much as the new ones, but I barely have half of it filled. Is 5th gen just considered old and chunky or whatever? And, with iPod minis, what do they do? Are they like iPod videos or iPod nanos or what? Because I paid like over $200 for mine, it's my baby, but are the new ones like replacing EVERYONE'S? What do these people DO with their "old" iPods? Are people just getting new ones because of that, they're new and the "old" ones are just that, old? What's the point if the "old" ones are perfectly good?
Additional info, added Friday November 30 2007, 5:03 pm: Oh, and whatever idiot answered first, you lie. My fifth generation iPod video from last year ran about $250. Anyone won't believe me and wants to believe whatever crap this girl gave out?

I did acctually get the new ipod, and it has a lot more space on it, and plays videos, and is a heck a lot more compact.The new ipods are just a combination between the nano's, and the video ipods. So what you were asking, the old ones are pretty well, old. People who have the old ipods, either keep it, and except it, or just buy a new one. The old ones, are just fine, but just a little bit clunkier, and out of "fashion/style". And, since the ipod that you got was the "old" version, it defnitly should not be 200 dollars. The new ones are not even that high priced. So, either somebody raised the price to see who would buy it, or your telling a little lie. The new nanos, are only like 120 dollars. So i don't have a clue how those could have been so much HIGHER than that. Also, all of the ipods before, i have seen at stores for like 70 or 80 dollars. So hun, you got r-i-p-p-e-d off! sorry. Hope i helped! Don't forget to rate!
