4GB iPod nano 4Gs show up on Best Buy's Canadian site

Look, we know there's some kind of good explanation for these things existing, but Apple, don't you think it's a little weird how they keep cropping up in stores even though you never, ever mentioned them? That's right, those 4GB iPod nano 4Gs we saw at Dutch retailers last week have now made their way onto Best Buy's Canadian website. Over in North America, the players will apparently sell for $139, and will be available tomorrow... or so they say.

[Thanks, Robert]

There is an interesting theory that apple planned to release 4gb and 8gb nanos only. When the rumors of zune 16 and zune 8 start hitting the web, apple was forced to change their plans.

This also explains why 16gb nanos haven't shipped yet.

The 16gb nano's haven't shipped yet? Then what's that green one doing on my shelf? FedEx dropped it off on Monday the 15th, engraved and all, straight from Apple.

@ TJ

I think he meant shipped to the stores.

[tande04 Posted Sep 21st 2008 5:05PM]

I think that might have something to do with it but its also possible that they were going to launch all three with just different price points. Or they could of made the switch in the middle of production which would explain why the 4GB are leaking here and there along with the 16. My local store was full of black 16GBers.

8GB of flash memory costs no more than $10.. Apple makes a fortune from saps who think more memory deserves a premium...

I can get a similar MP4 player in chinatown for much less...

but it can't do handstands for me...

I looked at Apple's PR site for Canada, it hasn't been updated since July. So I guess Apple didn't announce the 4 Gig 4G for Canada, but they didn't announce the 8 Gig or 16 Gig 4G Nano for Canada either.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 21st 2008 5:46PM]

I just got my 8GB 4G Black Nano and I love it!! I was thinking of getting the 16GB but a bit much for something that I just wanted to run with. Either way Best Buy has a full stock of these.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 21st 2008 7:29PM]

In a bestbuy flyer I got this weekend (in Canada) they were not advertising the new nanos at all, just the old ones at a discount.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 21st 2008 11:17PM]

Lol I work at a Walmart in Wisconsin and we've had the iPod nano 4gs on the shelf since friday, and no ones said anything.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 21st 2008 9:04PM]

we got those 4 giggers in Indonesia too. the dealer said it's a limited Europe/Asia edition, although they didnt put it on the shelf, but rather grab them from their "secret stash" off the cabinet when i asked about it.

16 gb one isnt available here yet, and the 8 gb ones are only pink, black, and white colors. funny thing is the 4 gb got all the colors..

they are also out in japan except for around 150 USD, although the store I saw it at is pretty overpriced but then again so is the everything else in Japan, even technology which i find strange

[BearaceDougie Posted Sep 22nd 2008 8:22AM]

Yeah, Im in Australia and we got them all in today.

Got every colour except black in 4GB.

They are retailing for AU$149 which is great compared to the other models.
