Hi, I do not think this is the updated version of the 5G. I am also looking to see If this was, however I am sure that they have not released the updated version to amazon.com yet, I do not see the 80 Gig on here either which leads me to believe that we may have to wait for amazon to release it on their site. This is disappointing to me because I have a gift certificate that I wanted to use it towards the new Ipod, but I am certian that perhaps in the next week or so they should have it released. Good luck!

D. Wittig, are you sure Apple released the 6g's? Apple's website still says 5g.

Hello, I just came onto the site this morning and they introduced the new versions! You should see them on the front page! Take care!

I'm sad to report that these are actually the 5g ipods and not the 6g as are being advertised. Shame on you Amazon!-D

Because you are using it for movies, you must get the 8gb model, the 4gb will fill up too fast. The 4 gb model is ok for a moderate sized music collection, most of those 30 or more gb players are usually mostly empty for most people, but not for movies. Since a 3g shuffle was just introduced, I would strongly recommend waiting for an update for the nano, im betting a 16 gb model is coming, frankly I'm surprised the current nanos don't come in a 16gb model, I think they are just trying to sell more ipod touches, which i cannot recommend unless you have a huge pile of cash to get rid of.

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR I-devices to ios 8.0+ I just updated mine a 2 days ago and it no longer recognized the device or "resolution" as it displays on the TV screen. I checked online and apparently it's Apple's way to force us to use their official products, so don't update or you're out of luck because they removed "down-grading" from now on.

by now it is impossible to update software or apps or get {many} new apps on either of the models. if you are reading this now a third gen AT LEAST. my 8gb fourth gen has worked almost flawlessly on ios4 for 13+ months now. only its almost out of storage and i want more music so i am getting a 32 or 64g w/ios5. (dont want to update my current 1 bcause i dont want to lose my data. :( boooo. :)

I think the reason that Amazon is selling the 5th Generation iPod Nanos for $20 less than list is that there are newer (6th Generation) ones. (Note product titles which clearly indicate product generation.)On Apple's site, the only new iPod Nanos for sale are the 6th Generation ones. Any 5th Generation Nanos that you see there are refurbished ones.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

I have 8GB on my curent (Gen 4) iPod. I have been wanting to upgrade to a video iPod for a while, but decided to wait hoping a new one would come out (similar to the iPhone). I am a little concerned about only having 16GB, but even more concerned about its shape. Is this iPod expected to fit into current iPod accessories? I have an iDock for my AV receiver, and I'd be bummed if this didn't fit. It came with several adaptors, but I don't think it has any that are for an iPod that thin.

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

the screen isn't gorilla glass so it isn't the best quality available, if you meant the resolution which is 4.3-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with 480 x 854 (FWVGA) pixel resolution and 16 million colors compared to the current ipod touch's 1136-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 pixels per inch and you can see the difference but being over 3 years old the 43 with only froyo android 2.2 is showing it's age. I got mine here on amazon for 7 bucks to use as an ereader that actually fits in a pocket for dr visits.... if you take into account it's limitations and can find at a MUCH cheaper price it might play a few games ok but it might be hard to find many compatible with the froyo the screen isn't gorilla glass so it isn't the best quality available, if you meant the resolution which is 4.3-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with 480 x 854 (FWVGA) pixel resolution and 16 million colors compared to the current ipod touch's 1136-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 pixels per inch and you can see the difference but being over 3 years old the 43 with only froyo android 2.2 is showing it's age.

It's most definitely worth it! I have owned the older (1st generation) ipod and finally upgraded. I love it! It's more than just a music player now. There are apps that make it a phone, facetime is really handy and I love that I can watch videos on it. I suggest the 32 or 64gb versions though as I am told the 8gb doesn't have enough space for movies. I have the 32gb and absolutely love it!

Since the product details were loaded into the system before iOS 8 became available, the product details only show iOS 6. This generation iPod should be able to be updated to iOS 8..Its just a matter of a software update through iTunes for free. Hope that helps!

Oh, thanks for the answer mate!But at 2011 didn't Apple release new generation of Shuffles, right?Because some reviews of this iPod are from September 10, 2010.

I am unsure about the question you are asking but I am the owner of an Apple iPod Touch 3rd Gen, Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen, and an Apple iPhone 4S and they all work with this set up. It is really nice. It was exactly what I was looking for without having to spend a ton of money. This item is just like the high end ones without the big price tag. It has worked on any generation Apple product that is associated with the (i believe its called) 30 Prong connector (which is the basic Apple (up until iphone 5) charging cord such as the adapter on this converter) it has the AUX cord for MP3 and other devices.

After posting my earlier question I called the Apple Store and was told that they could ship a fully loaded iPod Touch (with the new applications) today. The price would still be $299.At their website they are showing the new apps to be email, notes, maps, weather, etc.I have emailed Amazon to ask if they have the same offer.
