What if someone gives you a... pink iPod Nano.
 
I think it's going to be a close run between what I did, and how some of you sick fuckers like to vote.

That would detract from my poll which determines if HMTers are more thrifty or more perverse.

What do the 4GB Nanos go for used, anyway?

i say electrical tape. id rather take some 1000 grit sand paper sand it down, tape off important parts of course and give it a nice coat of flat black paint.

If it's a newer one (LCD screen, picture, ect), they go for ~ 250 (new) or so... I've seen them go for ~100-150 used, as long as it's not beat to ----. You can buy other cases/covers for them for pretty cheap.

It's only a color. Besides back in the day pink was a boys and baby blue was for girls. That all changed in the 50's. ::)

I can see if it was cock shaped or had a huge cock and hairy balls screen printed on it, then I would mail it to buk so he could rock it with pride.

ROCK THAT ----!! :y :y

Re: What if someone gives you a... pink iPod Nano.
 
I'd be afraid to paint it or tape it in fear of ------- up some buttons and reducing the overall resale value. Deal with the pink or get a cheap case.

CRXDrew 03-02-2007 09:19 AM

Re: What if someone gives you a... pink iPod Nano.
 
why mask when you can disassemble and paint? Just like a car... don't mask ---- off.. remove the ---- you don't want painted.

Take it apart, prep the surface, paint.

Jorsher 03-02-2007 09:28 AM

Re: What if someone gives you a... pink iPod Nano.
 
Yeah, like night just said, I'd take it apart and sand/paint it properly. Would probably be easier than masking off tiny pieces and would come out a lot better. Go ahead and do a custom color ;) Most that crap has hidden screws and tabs to pop it apart, but if you can't figure it out I'm sure google will tell you.

Who the ---- cares what color it is. If it works then use it. Just go to walmart and get some cover for it. I've been ebaying the ebay "ipods". That way you won't have to be stuck with itunes. *making post with an ibook* lol. Damn not being able to right click gets me everytime. :7

Tape off the screen, circle, the headphone jack and the usb port and paint it.
ah, nevermind. That are like the size of a captain-wafer cracker, that'd be a bitch. :l
use it

It appears to have two tiny tabs inside of the dock port, supposed to retain the dock connector but I think they also double to retain the internals. The works probably slides out quick and easy, and I could powdercoat the freaking thing camoflage.

Buy, that would be more expensive than $0.23.

What's an Ipod? :S

Electrical tape gets my vote, but rocking it as is would be good for some laughs and strange looks. :P

Re: What if someone gives you a... pink iPod Nano.
 
I'd probably just use it. Keep the thing in your pocket not to mention you could just claim it was your little sisters/nieces/friends and she gave it to you because she got a new one. People generally don't hate on free stuff.

On a side note, Ipods=pieces of ----. The fact that you must use Itunes to load your songs on the ------- thing is enough for me to never ever purchase an Ipod ever. Winamp>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Itu nes

Just get a case for it. There are tons of different colors you can choose from.

Purple for example ;D

Both suck for syncronizing with devices and end up loading ---- I never want loaded. Not to mention the Zune supports something like 3 video formats which is absolutely worthless. I'm partial to my Creative ZenM. It allows me to drag and drop compatible files so I don't have to use their software but if I chose to, I have total control of what it loads and doesn't auto syncronize. Also it supports just about every video format and if it doesn't support it, it will convert it for you into a file format that it can support. I loaded two 700+mb divx movies on my ZenM in less than 5 minutes the other day. If I had to convert that, then load it on, it would have taken close to an hour. I also like the fact the ZenM will convert dvr-ms files to avi for me as no other program in the world does a half way decent job of it. This on the other hand does an excellent job of it as it only takes about 2 hours to convert the file to an AVI vs the other methods I was using before took 12 hours. I should also note it has nothing to do with my machine as I have a dual core, 2 GB of ram, media center PC which is more than capable of handling such tasks.

Are you worried about being socially acceptable and normal JD

LOL, I don't think I'll ever be either of those things.

Eh, I fiddled around with this thing all day today, it's pretty decent. Battery life is better than what I expected, quite impressive actually, but it's shint new so I'm guessing it'll take a nosedive in the forthcoming month. I ended up peeling off all the electrical tape as the adhesive was becoming the usual black tape greasy mess.

BD said I could give it to my daughter, in truth I could trade her straight out for her 40 GB iPod Photo. *shrug* I don't really care, I'll leave it up to her.

edit: I dunno what all the hoopla about iTunes is. Yeah, it's a pretty stupid Appled-out interface, but I've disabled Quicktime from handling all my media files and only use iTunes long enough to shove files on this thing.

PS, Inqy? Winamp is NOT always better than iTunes. After Winamp 3.x I'd take iTunes hands down - Winamp 2.70 for life!

iTunes is garbage and the new winamp is fine. just switch the skin back to classic and its the same thing with some handy features.

If I try it, and it bogs my 866EB processor with the massive 133 FSB, I will be mean to you.

Re: What if someone gives you a... pink iPod Nano.
 
New winamp with classic skin works great for me

Get a winamp pro torrent to get full function, then disable it from accessing the internet through your firewall so it doesn't bug you every time you open it to get the newest version, which is basically base version+0.00000001 and does nothing different that you would ever notice.
