Does Creative have an answer to the iPod Nano? (or possibly a lawsuit for using that nam

Mini and Micro didn't clash as much as Zen Nano and iPod Nano do... Any lawsuits? Or can that not be possible for some reason?
Back to my main question: I know, I always seem to post about whether or not Creative is doing something that others are doing... but I love Creative's products and I want to see more from them. Better quality products, especially.
Creative has HAD Flash-based players for a while... But they have few that are rechargable (MuVo X-trainer and Slim are the only I can think of) and none of those in the US (for sale currently) are over 52MB. Apple has just released quantities of TWO and FOUR GIGABYTES! Creative's largest is ONE GB for the Zen Nano and MuVo Micro (both require AA batteries or something... I'd prefer recharagable.)
So is Creative going to release any 2 or 4 GB Flash based players any time soon? I prefer them... Especially after my unfortunate incident with my original Zen and Creative's pitiful American support (in Ohio or some place).
I want to replace my 52MB X-Trainer with a rechargable flash player with a larger capacity. I'd love to have a 4 GB flash player. I'd really love it for $250 (apple's price for the iPod Nano). You might ask why I don't just get an iPod Nano (the black actually looks kind of neat, come to think of it.) I don't get one because I use Windows and I prefer WMA to MP3 and whatever AAC thing the iPod uses. Perhaps if I had a Mac and iTunes was the only choice for online music for my system... Then I'd definitely get an iPod. But with Windows, I'd prefer to just use one of the many online shops that sell WMAs.

"Creative has HAD Flash-based players for a while... But they have few that are rechargable "
When using a player that takes a AAA battery, just use a rechargeable AAA.
"Apple has just released quantities of TWO and FOUR GIGABYTES!"
Yes, however they aren't practical for many people since they aren't compatible with Yahoo's unlimited music service. Many people would rather get a Zen Micro or Sleek and pay $60 a year to Yahoo to fill up their player with music rather than pay over $,000 to Apple to fill up their 4 gig player with music at 99 cents a song. With the Yahoo service, one can also change the music in their player without additional cost.
"Creative's largest is ONE GB for the Zen Nano and MuVo Micro (both require AA batteries or something... I'd prefer recharagable."
With Creative's Nano and Nano Plus, one can use a rechargeable AAA battery. Rechargeable AAA batteries are great since most chargers can charge 4 at a time. Four nimh AAA rechargeable batteries and a charger can often be purchased for under $20.
With the ipod Nano, once the charge in the built in battery runs out, one can't listen to it until it is recharged. With the Creative Nano Plus, one just switches to another battery(remember I just mentioned how AAA nimh batteries can be conveniently charged 4 at a time?). Taking an ipod Nano on a long trip would be annoying. While the player is small, the notebook computer one would need to carry with it to recharge the player is quite large. I would much rather carry a few extra AAA batteries than a notebook computer(I as many others don't even own a notebook computer).
"I'd love to have a 4 GB flash player. ."
I would also love to have one, but only if it is compatible with Yahoo Music Unlimited, uses a AA or AAA battery, and has a built in radio. That rules out Apple's players on three counts.

    Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

  • Why does my lightening wire not fit the ipod nano 7th gen

    Could someone tell me why does my lightening wire now not fit the ipod nano (7th gen)?  I push it in but it seems to spring out and not fully connect. I only bought it 1 year ago and it is been great, but now I think it needs to go in the bin

    I agree, sounds like there's something in the port on the Nano. Try cleaning it out with a can of compressed air, or a gently with a wooden toothpick.

  • Will the iPod nano 7g have games similar to the iPod nano 3/4/5g?

    I previously had a ipod nano 3g and loved the three games it came with - perfect for when youre bored on the bus, and you dont have to worry about all those apps on the touch just a few simple games. I really like the new nano but i dont think ill buy it if it has no games on it.

    There will not as Apple removed all of these games from the store about a year ago. Not only that, but they were just clickwheel games that only worked with iPod models that had a clickwheel, which the 7G Nano does not. Sorry.

  • Could we have an Update on the iPod Nano Replacement program for all UK users perspective...

    Sorry I have excluded everyone else on this topic, but I can't seem to fathem whats going on? NO ONE I know seems to have recieved their replacement iPod Nano's and are stuck at stage 3 in the repair status 'Product Replacement Pending'. Are we going to get 6th Gen. Nano's? Or are we different from the US and Canada and will be given our original/refurbished/new Nano's back? Mine has been stood still since 22nd November, when Apple recieved my iPod
    Please could someone provide information with an update...

  • Is the ipod nano 7th generation currently available for purchase?

    Hello!
    I was recently reading some reviews online and read that Apple has launched it's 7th generation of it's ipod nano; however, when I do a search for it to purchase all I get is the 6th generation nano. Has Apple launched it's 7th generation nano yet? If so, where can I buy one?

    I've heard that the new iPod Nano has a new camera>http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-Camera-Equipped-iPod-nano-7G-Photos-Emerge-25 0081.shtml
    But thats ridiculous, isnt it? Even its gonna have a camera, they would dril holes on the backside of the ipods throught the clip and that is wasting of aluminium too. It's also useless, because the size of the iPod is too small and it looks stupid.
    If you really wanna make pictures and shoot videos on an iPod then i recommend the iPod Touch or search on the web for an iPod Nano 5G
    Everything in this reply is my opinion.

  • How to format iPod Nano on a Mac but for a PC

    WE got my dad an iPod nano. It's an 8 gb. He did not have a computer so we were loading up for him on our Macbook. Now he has a PC that uses Windows and he's got high speed internet. He downloaded iTunes and wants to control his iPod himself now. However, the Nano is formated for a Mac and won't work on his computer.
    Can I re-format the nano using my MacBook? I need to re-format it to work on his computer. I was unable to do anything with it on his computer last night.

    Here's what I want to do: using my MacBook, I want to re-format or "restore" the ipod nano to work on a PC using Windows.
    You cannot. When you Restore on iTunes for Mac, it will format the iPod with HFS+, which Windows cannot read.
    When you Restore with iTunes for Windows, it will format it FAT32, which will work iTunes for Macs or Windows.
    So Restore it with iTunes for Windows and then you can use it with either computer. It will only take a few minutes to Restore it.

  • Does the iPod nano have Bluetooth?

    Hello,
    I am looking at buying the latest iPod nano, I don't like the standard cable headphones, they get in the way, fall out, get tangled and get pulled out of your ears.
    Does the latest model come with Bluetooth connectivity?
    thank you.

    Onechief:
    i10s Bluetooth adapter ($45) - Since the iPod nano 6G doesn’t have Bluetooth, a dongle is your only option. While dozens of choices exist, the i10s BT adapter is the smallest of the lot. When you’re rocking the world’s smallest iPod, you don’t want a big horsey adapter jutting out of the side. At about two-thirds the size of Sony’s BT adapter, the i10s is the perfect fit. The i10s is zero-config and auto-pairs when it’s powered up.
    Cheers.

  • Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

    If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

  • Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
    You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
    Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
    Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
    Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
    Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
    Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
    In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
    When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
    Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
    I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!!

    No, you cannot sync videos to the 6G Nano.
