QUOTE (Machine @ Jan 25 2007, 09:39 AM)  If those ipod things can store data, other than mp3, I think it is worth it; think of it like a cooler external drive. A cooler expensive external drive.

I do not understand it.
Why would people be willing to spend that much money on an I-pod, when MP3's are just as good?
My MP3 Player can hold up to 1000 songs and Voice recordings.
And it only cost me £19.99...
So why buy something for £300, when its just as good as a simple MP3?

I'm pretty sure an 80GB iPod already exists...

ye I own a 2005 4g ipod mini - the model wasn't even out for a year before being replaced/made obsolete by the ipod nano's.
A 4 gig nano today I think is a little more than $200 USD..
Crative Zen has an 8 gig for the same price; more durable, more accessable (dont need @#$ itunes to manage all your music), removable battery, and some other stuff...
plus, its not apple.
for now though I'm hppy with my black-and-white screen ipod Mini; It plays my music, what in crap else would I want it to do?
Video ipods were a stupid idea as well; I watched Pirates of the Carribean 2 on my friend's ipod, and it was like torture. my eyes strained at th tiny screen for like 2 hours of movie, the @@#$ earbud headphones were freakin killing my ears...then the battery was dying...
ipods (except Mini's, of course) suck. Don't buy em.
Apple sucks. I hate mac's, they're not compatable with CRAP (unless you have some kind of leet OS transformagranizer that can enable mac/pc compatibility)

I have a Creative Zen Microphoto (8GB), which cost me €179,- It has 8 GB of spacious room Built in FM radio Voice recorder high-res color screen (w/ ability to show photos) Ability to store data without the need to install extra drivers (can't say the same for the IPod). Just make sure you bring your cable along  note on the cable: it's a type that's used all over the place: mostly for cameras. So even if you do forget it, there's a big chance there's always one nearby!And this puppy cost a lot less than the 8GB IPod, which does not even have a radio or voice-recorder. Also, the Creative Zen has a battery you can remove/replace yourself. According to some, the Creative Zen also has better sound quality, which isn't surprising, as Creative has their whole industry based on sound hardware.

Apple sucks. I hate mac's, they're not compatable with CRAP (unless you have some kind of leet OS transformagranizer that can enable mac/pc compatibility) Apple doesn't suck. Many reasons: (1)You can't play games, (2)You can't mod games, because you can't play them, (3) you can't relax wit games, because you can't play them and (4) those PC's are SLOW, and Mac Hardware is hard to get. So, point 1 let it suck, and point 2 also, so do 3 and 4. Sucking is negative. And if you do: -1 x -1 x -1 x -1 = 1... Because negative times negative is positive. So it doesn't suck. Continue: (5)You can perfectily do graphical thins such as looking videos and drawing. Ok, that where al positive points. QUOTE (ChielScape @ Jan 28 2007, 09:27 AM) yup, porn in class is better watched on a laptop. ANYWAY, jup... Only guessing how you want to take that laptop into the class, and try after that watching it (without anybody else looking at it (always keep porn for yourself, if others want it, they have to download it by themselves)) QUOTE (ChielScape @ Jan 29 2007, 12:44 PM) nah, ill just play DooM GBA on my GBA. ;P Why not DS? Those are better... GBA, that's almost from the pre-history!!

I had a 1GB MP3 Player. It got filled up fast. I went out and bought a 4GB Ipod Nano. It's almost full too! Ipod is the best MP3 Player there is, in my opinion. Creative's Ipod Wannabe MP3 Player is a piece of shit, my aunt has one. It's bigger, more bulky, and it has problems. Any MP3 Player with a FM Tuner sucks, because you have to hold the damn thing an arm's length into the air just to receive any stations clearly (at least where I live). Ipod's are smaller, easier to use, sexier, and a better bang for your buck.

Uh, (decent) Creative MP3 players are about the same size as decent iPods... And how does having more features than the iPod, even if they don't all work perfectly where you live, make it worse?  Before I sold my Creative MP3 player, the FM radio worked fine no matter where I held it. Maybe you just need to move to a city.  Creatives sound better have more features, and are about the same size and sexiness, so I would argue that they are easily more bang for your buck. And I mean that literally, Creatives get you laid.

QUOTE Uh, (decent) Creative MP3 players are about the same size as decent iPods Last time I checked, DeathRay, Creative MP3 Players are larger than the Ipod Nano. QUOTE And how does having more features than the iPod, even if they don't all work perfectly where you live, make it worse? I never said features ... I said the FM tuner. Of a matter of fact, DeathRay, I do live in a city, and I do catch stations on my FM tuner, but if you put it somewhere where it can't clearly recieve that signal (you walk past a wall, you go in a tunnel, you put it in your pocket so you don't have to hold the damn thing, etc.), it'll become staticy and very annoying to listen to. And yes, these stations I am talking about ARE in the same city as me.

QUOTE (DeathRay2K @ Jan 31 2007, 03:44 AM) so I maintain that an extra feature cannot make it worse than the iPod, no matter how well that extra feature works. I beg to differ.

My iRiver H10 has a radio tuner which is fine, I've never had any static issues with it in my pocket at all. When I bought it (late 2004) it was cheaper than an iPod, had a colour screen (which the iPod hadn't introduced) and could view images. It even looks nice and isn't that obnoxious white plastic that coats iPods. Oh, and I can replace the battery without needing to get a new MP3 player or voiding the warranty.

I've got a Packet Bell thingy of 256 MB... ALWAYS COMPLETILY FILLED. But 256 is too less. Especialy to me. I think I've a small MP3 Collection of only 20 Hours, and around the 5 GB.
I think a IPod will be filled fast also!
Why not a PDA? That's cooler, but I don't know how much space they have.
