oshit, NEW IPODS!

[jalaneme]

I don't get what the big freaking whoop about iPods are. I don't even get what the big whoop about portable MP3 players are. I mean, I don't even have any form of portable MP3 player...

welcome to the 21st century, CD players are obsolete, get over it

Jumpman I'm with you. I don't have nor ever want a MP3 player or Ipod. It's not that I dislike music, but the effort behind it so it is enjoyable to me sucks.

I first have to rip or swipe online a shitload of music. Then I have to bother organizing it how I want, then load it onto the ipod/knockoff how I like, and then hit the random button or let it go in order. Too much time and hassle.

For me that's why I went the XM route. I get a clean broadcast, no commercials, no dickin around. I just plug it into the wall at work, jack in the antenna and some headphones and it's random fun all day long. Music, talk, uncensored comedy, political crud, cable tv news feeds, and more. Outside of reaching for the remote to pick a channel it's hassle free.

You just drag and drop the music you have. The iPod organizes it for you.

 

[jalaneme]

yep, thats what itunes is for, to organise your music, there is no effort involved apart from manually tagging your music.

 

[phoood]

Niceee. I've already broke though 25gb worth of music on my HDD, and my ipod (photo) only has 20gb (18 something gb's formatted).

If this supported xvid AND h.264, I'll think about getting one. People might not like the hype, but a great mp3 player is a great mp3 player. To me, other mp3 players with their cons (bulky, crappy screen, un-intuitive controls) are not for me.

the iriver clix2 is a serious contender. If it had more storage.

Archos should get some of that style, they make the best PMPs on the market (With 160GB HDDs!), but they lack style

(Much higher screen res and MUCH larger HDD, same $400 price....hmm...)

awesome, finally an ipod I can sit on my table in starbucks while I write my screenplay.




didn't want an ipod, shit, I barely wanted my $30 mp3 player, but I really don't want any of these iphone/ipod things

 

[Sc4rFac3d]

So are there clones of the new shuffle yet? I've been meaning to get a new player, and i'd like myself a mini one.

 

[PuyoDead]

8GB/16GB iPod Touch = massive failure. Why the hell would I want to downgrade to a measly 16GB for a touch screen? and for $400? Good God, Apple, you really need to get your shit together.

Guess I'll be looking into an 80GB iPod "Classic". So much for that touch screen hype. What a disapointment.

QFT. It would probably be too expensive if you had an 80GB touch phone, but wasting that screen with no video storage is a pity. Down with iPod, up with Moonshell!

This is what I got and I'm pretty happy with it.
Zen Vision M
It plays many different movie and audio formats, and I've been using it for hours a day every day for the past 2 years. No problems yet. Pretty sturdy too, just throw it in my back pack and pick it up when I feel like it.

 

[CrystalSweet]

those look utterly sickkkkkk

but i wont be able to afford them.
but now, ill be able to buy the ipod nano (2gb)
because im pretty sure prices will drop!
muhahahahaha

 

[adgloride]

With any luck maybe the old Ipods will be reduced. But I still think that they are too expensive. Considering the 30gb Zunes are 30gb and you not stuck using a virus better known as ITunes.

 

[jtroye32]

Apple is to computers/mp3 players what Bose is to speakers/audio - overpriced mediocrity. I'll give them credit for being great at advertising though.

 

[CrystalSweet]

i do think ipods are WAY overpriced
but everybody has them
i really hope the prices on the old ones drop

 

[decript]

Got a Zen Vision M myself also. Good player, trackpad takes getting use to but i still prefer the wheel. I have dropped it so many times onto solid marble to rocks along a train track. Just scuffed the back revealing the metal, thats all. Also, I applied a BSE and it is hawt! Love those things, so durable and invisible. Got a palm rest/trackpad skin for my new macbook too (loving it

).
I had an ipod mini before that, was pretty good, never failed me. Happy with my choice of not getting an ipod video 30gb instead.

 

[mthrnite]

Ipods are crap, why would anyone want one, I'd rather just stick dog dookie in my ears and hum!

Oh wait.. what I meant to say was:

OH BOY!
Glad I waited on the nano purchase I was about to make. Groovy!
Seriously, I've got a bunch of ipods, back to the 5 gig one (that still works, but needs a battery, I just keep it plugged in on the kitchen counter.)

If you don't like it, that's fine. Some people disparage the Zune, and they sound just about like the folks who do the same to iPods.

It's cool to hate things, id'nit?

 

[jtroye32]

because they're advertised so well and people buy into it. their stock is ridiculously high for what they sell because everyone sees the sleek appearance of everyone elses Ithingy and must have one too without really researching their options. this is why apple continues to overprice their stuff - because people will continue to buy it overpriced.

 

[Foie]

Sweet, a Nano with video playback! I don't need it though...

 

[754boy]

Meh, an ipod is an ipod I guess. I've passed on them before and will pass over these. My Treo does the same thing and more so I don't need one. I just don't see what the hype is. I wouldn't call them rubbish but they are definitely overpriced.
