I got iPod 8G and Dingoo A320 and i say:
- iPod Touch, but dig up the extra for a 32Gb model (don't think there's a 16gb 3G touch model)

Since i jailbroke my iPod 8Gb is to less for video/music and apps.
I also spend since then $50 in the store (i never would have spend that much if i didn't jailbreak it)
Cause whatever i buy i know i will use cause i could tested it descent.

EDIT: But if that's not an option, go for the iPod 8G, you have more fun and use from it then a Dingoo

if you can get either one (if its offered to you) i'd go for the ipod, the thing being much more valuable and all

I don't think the Dingoo is a great value at all. It as crappy sound, uses a minisd, it's under powered CPS2, SNES, GBA, Quake work like crap. The only emulators that work well are stuff like Atari 2600. It's a pain to add new games and emulators to the Dingux menu. I got my Wiz for $120 and it's totally worth the extra I payed. I'd go for the iPod touch and day of the week.

so you actually got both a wiz and a dingoo?
or are you basing your criticism on stuff you've read?

Pliskron suggested the GP2X Wiz, maybe thats something to look into!

I don't think the Dingoo is that bad. The GBA emulator on the native firmware actually works great, and the SNES one works fine for me as well. The GB/GBC emulator is also fantastic, in both native firmware or Dingux. And in Dingux, there's all kinds of games and ports etc. that work really well. It's certainly much, much more capable than just an atari 2600 emulator.

As for the original question, I've had an iPod touch, and have a Dingoo, and with those two options I'd still suggest going for the Touch. It's got more going for it, more support, and is less DIY as far as getting things up and going to one's own liking. Although personally I prefer the Dingoo - for gaming that is. Could never get the hang of gaming on the iPod Touch, without any buttons. I like buttons.

I suggest Ipod touch, it can emulate most (or all things) that a dingoo can, I don't own a dingoo so I don't know about speed but Ipod touch can emulate N64 at full speed with the right frame skip.

I suggest Ipod touch

Just to clarify, i'll be getting money for my birthday, so I would have to pay for the dingoo or the ipod. With that in mind, would it still be worth it to get the ipod?

srly a giant ipod touch...?
The DSi XL

Srly a bigger DSi...?
Yes, well, Nintendo actually admits it's a new model, not a whole new portable...
On the other hand, Apple starts selling a huge blown-up-like-a-balloon-type IPod touch that can't even make calls and has a maximum disk space of 128 GB and sells it for $700 and up...

128GB is enough, I can't fill my 32GB Ipod touch up I have almost 80 apps and only 3GB is used

Why would you WANT to make a call from an Ipad?

I'm not an apple fanboy, but I don't understand why people say they are evil.

+ a 50" TV is a big blown up fancy 42" TV

Would you have a 50" portable TV?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
