I've had an email from Apple today, advertising their new iPod nano, which apparently talks to you, telling you details of each track.

Why??

It is also ridiculously small, but no doubt people will buy it to join the 'Look at me, I have the new Apple iPod' Facebook group.

My old CD Walkman works fine, plays MP3's and gets an airing a few times a year on holidays.

I think its the new iPod clip but as you say it's pointless.

It's a great bit of spin that - look at our shiny new toy it speaks talks to you...yeah it only has to do that because they haven't put a display on it (sometimes the existing solution really is the best!)

Also they haven't bothered to put any controls on the player they're all on the headphones...great so you can only buy Apple headphones now...you've gotta hand it to Apple they are the kings of product tying.

Oh well once last try when you plug in the ipod and load itunes click on devices then the music tab and make sure it is syncing all songs and playlists not selected playlists. Hope this helps
