Anyone have an idea if the new ipod nano's are here yet? The ones you can "shake to shuffle." Or how long it's going to be?

Thanks

I just bought the new 4th gen (16 GB) for $199 from Amazon.com. There's very little chance you could get it for that price anywhere in Korea.

They also have the 8 GB model for $149. I would highly recommend doing it through there, however, I have family in the US that I can go through. Amazon won't directly ship it here. Something about shipping electronics abroad. (I am currently considering buying PS3 games through them in the future)

I really don't see the appeal of the 4G nanos. I was liking the square size of the 3Gs. Also, I liked how they had the metal backs, now we're back to the cheap looking plastic. Why go back to the old design - like, what are the improvements other than 16GB? Don't the 3G and 4G both have 2-inch displays? Don't know how much I like the shake shuffle feature either.. what if I jogging? Someone indulge me...

I just looked for a size comparison and found this. Dunno...

I don't think they will be here for a few weeks yet. I looked for the new ipod touch at the coex store and they said at least 3 weeks,

It's actually anodized aluminum. However, there's an hour less video playback between the 3G and the 4G version.

What gets me about the new ipods though is the Classic model. The new classic has 40GB less storage, one hour less video playback and four hours less video playback than the 160GB model. Seems like a big step backwards to me.

the 160 gb was fatter so they weren't selling that great. the new nano has the same size screen as the old one so there's not much difference. the shuffle only has new colors. the new touch has an external speaker and volume control, a bit cheaper
