Any reasons not to get it? Technically, I mean. I have put my hatred of all things Apple aside in favor of 30Gigs (BABY!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Only the cost. |
||||||||

Would be perfect with a removable hard drive. |

A beautful piece of design, the kind of thing I dreamt of a a kid....... as per most of Apples stuff, the kind of features you take for granted until you have to go without them... Wish they did an all balck one (altho Phillips have a very nice one coming on...)... |

Get an iRiver instead. I've got the 256MB version. It's so small, you don't even notice it hanging around your neck. It takes one battery, that lasts ~20 hours. Has a voice recorder and FM tuner too. www.iriver.com |

ya but its 256MB i have a nomad. cheaper, but the battery is kinda irreplacable (though its supposed to last forever). its shaped like a cd player so people dont steal it. |

I want an iPod too (10 GB would be OK enough) but can't afford one, big surprise :S Might look for a 2nd hand iPod when I can afford one. |

i've got a creative nomad jukebox 3 (20 GB)... its great, but now its full, i'd like one with 60 GB capacity... =) |

Damn now I don't know what to get! :( |

Get the ipod, it doesn't just look and feel amazing, it's solid, go on, spoil yourself you big hairy flake. |
||||||||
|
|

You can buy covers for them Jand. Can't remember where. Although it's probably quite simple to make you're own as well... |

ipod is awesome, I owned one of the new ones but had to sell it to afford a powerbook. If you can afford it get it, have a look on ebay, you might be able to get a good deal. |
||||||||

|
. ipod is ghey, and I bet 80% of the price is the brand itself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but 30GIGS!!!! That gives me room for 17 more (that's with my entire CD collection encoded) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh but hang on a tick. How long before the hard drive dies? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i ordered a 20gb ipod on the day the new generation was released about 2 weeks ago... it was shipped on saturday so should be on my doorstep any day now :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but the price, man. A 40gb iPod is what, $499 - the creative one (60gb) is like $490. I'd say you're pretty stupid if you go out and buy a 40gb mp3 player at $500, when you can get a perfectly good alternative with 20gb extra storage at the same price. I mean, it's just a fucking harddrive in a shell.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah it's less in France, plus I can get one cheaper cos I have a 'faithfulness card'! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyway I'm gonna go do some reseach |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
allright - but anyway, if you look past the fact that you have this 'I'm a hoopy frood card', buying an iPod just because it's an iPod, is as stupid as, well, as stupid as it gets, really.. might as well buy a penis pump, then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree. |

That Zen player is pretty hackable too. Since it uses a standard laptop hard drive, you can buy the cheap model, void your warranty, and carefully slot your 80GB laptop drive into it. |
||||||||

I'm sold! |
||||||||

i'm about to purchase one of the 20 gig ipods through my school, total $399 with a $200 rebate= $199, woot woot!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you get the 30 gig one you get the beautiful docking station + a silly case though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd still get the Creative one.. it's cheaper and it's just as good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the new 20 gig ipod come with the dock and case. oh yeah i get a $100 rebate on a printer too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So, the next time we go on condorde to paris for a fashion show, are you going to wear your 'Creative'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have the old 5gig model, and it works great. i must say, 5g is enough for me, i mean that is about 1000 songs fully loaded, at 160 kps. i don't even fill it all the time. usually about half, and leave the rest as HD storage. the only thing i would be concerned about (as i am with mine) is how long the battery will last before you need to replace it. and how much it will cost when you do. other than that, it wonderful. a bit heavy tho... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't get the ipod, it has the worst battery time on the market! i bought my for like ¤300, works superbly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, there are perfectly good alternatives to iPod, which is just for show, and it costs more than a fucking boob job (not that I'm getting one, but, uh, w00t..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for using the amex card you accumulate points enough points by xmass to be able to get an ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I refuse to get that on the basis that they've got Ricky Martin on that one! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have the (old) 10gb ipod, and it's perfect. Yes, the battery time is not that long, but long enough for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you mean, ricky martin roxx!! ;) |
