i think it looks just like one of those personal alarms some elderly people wear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great for runners/joggers. i think it's great for the wide range of lineups they have something for everyone/application |
||||||||
|

ooo skinny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just hope it's cheaper then the previous versions.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from 99$ silly! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but 512mb is a bit low for what i need.. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It makes it sound like you can't actually choose your next track. I think that could be a little annoying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've got that impression as well..i made a post about it in that new apples thread :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
im so gonna buy a mac mini |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ugly and uncomfortable earplugs! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah the whole idea is a bit weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know, i thought that was weird at first but I think you can select your own tracks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hello pantalaimon! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hi, anyone figured out how you select your own track, surely its not shuffle only |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, apparently it's not only shuffle, but it would be kinda hard to select the mp3 you want with no screen... : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you select the mode on the back... still not sure how you change albums |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it doesn't have a display, which is really shitty. also it looks like an ordinary USB-MP3 stick. 240 tracks on 1 GB? pff....on 32 Kbit maybe.... $99 for a 512 MB MP3 player w/o display is a tad overpriced. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No screen! No recording, no wide selection of formats. Granted what I bought was $50 more, but shit, look at the iRiver flash players; slightly larger but same price and wwaaaaay better features (though those can't be accessed as USB drives). I'll bitch a lot about the iAudio U2 as soon as it comes in the mail (ETA 1/17) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I think it looks like a pile of crap myself. The only people who could possibly want this are joggers. I happen to jog and would still rather have the iPod mini as it at least looks a bit more substantial. I think this new Mini Mini iPod is pointless and starting to saturate the iPod range with unnecessary models. First we have an overpriced photo holder that has no video, the main redeeming feature being it looks nice and now this, which doesn't. I own a 40gb iPod btw. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Man, can you imagine navigating even 512 megs without a screen? Do you memorize your track list every time you upload, or just have to seek a shitload? And it's definitely not the smallest model. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course it will stil sell 12381293 copies, just like the rest of the piece of shit ipod line. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is why they're promoting the shaffle thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ANALORD! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i agree with exxailon |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what a pain. by the way did you notice that all the pictures on the website where the unit is shown alone are NOT photos, but computer renderings? what the fuck is up with that? (note that this image is to scale; I properly resized the ishittle) |

i prefer the minimalist style of the ipod... though i'd like it to have a screen, still, if you play random tracks its ideal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, what does minimalism mean? The original ipod had apretty good formula, a simple set of buttons controlling all player functionality, and the design matched this aesthetic. Here's the problem: this ipod shit is low on FEATURES as well. Besides aren't you tired of this lame look? And I don't think it's minimalism. Minimalism would be intelligent use of maybe one additional color, but this gay one color crap looks shit to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and since it's obvious the ipod line pisses me off, let me explain way. Simply from a technical standpoint they are way behind, and from an aesthetic standpoint, some people (like you) genuinely appreciate them but for the most part it's just brainwashing. And ipod isn't innovating on the line at all, they are just raking in shitloads of cash (don't tell me iPod photo was the work of geniuses). |
||||||||

|
have you seen the price of the iaudio? its £10 more expensive for the 256MB version when you can get the new ipod with 1GB for £99. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the iaudio 1GB is double the price of the ipod, the new ipod is perfect the those who its targeted at imo. as for the ipod photo, i can't stand it... its just completely pointless and overpriced, for a couple of hundred more i could buy an ibook, the Mac mini is even cheaper than the ipod photo! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn it's pricey in england! I know the iaudio is more expensive, I just bought one =) not at your prices thankfully. I shouldn't be using the iaudio as a benchmark, because it's SERIOUSLY overpriced (I am getting it because it is mostly covered as an xmas gift), but if you look at the iriver line, for instance, they're not too pretty but price/performance is way better, and the iaudio u2 is about 4 months old! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd hit it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think i'll get the 20gb ipod in the end :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

from the # Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128Kbps AAC encoding. # Do not eat iPod shuffle. # Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information. ????? @ that second one.... |

i just spotted that shit I am going to die now? |

It's a joke on Apples spec page for the iPod Shuffle. I like the idea of just having an iPod that holds some tunes and I can listen to playlists, shuffle. Plus the new iTunes has a cool feature - each time you plug the iPod in it will put different songs on it. Sort of a cool feature. I have a 20gb 3rd gen so I don't need one. But it seems like a pretty good deal. I wouldn't mind one for when I go mountain biking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mountain biking is pretty much why i need an ipod for...can't you go with your 20gb one?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do not eat iPod shuffle. lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely you mean souffle? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the 20GB ipod is hard drive based, meaning it doesn't take kindly to bumps, it will skip and can even be damaged by extreme movement like this. Flash based players don't have this problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd be surprised if the 20gig skipped while bike riding. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you do use it whilst riding your bike make sure you have a hard case. they're not that strong when you fall off and land on them.. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not just bike riding, "mountain biking", this usually means off road riding, not good for a hard drive... unless they mean just riding around to the shops on a mountain bike in which case of course it should be fine :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i wouldn't do any extreme stuff when listening to music, but thanks for the warning :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my ipod 40GB has skipped whilst jogging, a little annoying, also its a little large for jogging... looking forward to getting the new one. not that i don't like my 40GB ipod, each ipod is good for different things, the ipod shuffle just meets my current needs better, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good, some people do though, i've heard of people snowboarding with ipods :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, snowboarding is hardly as rough as mountainbiking...in my experience anyway :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well depends how good you are i guess :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not too good in either...but at least when snowboarding you fall into snow :) |
