3/22 ipod or the clones? that is the question? i am looking to get one, the
ipod 15gb is $299. What clones of comparable price and feature? thx.
\_ If you look at everyting as "bang-per-buck", then you'd be
buying Hyundais and living in a ranch in Montana. The question
you have to ask is "Do I like the way it feels and operates?
Do I like the user interface?". If you're not going to use
all 40GB, then disk space isn't the issue.
\_ This is a fucking mp3 player, not a fucking house. The iPod
is an overpriced piece of shit. If you're not into gimmicky
crap and just want a functional mp3 player with enough
storage at a reasonable price get something like a Nomad Zen
and save yourself 200 bux and get a couple more hours of
battery life.
\_ Most people who buy mp3 players opt for an iPod and
most iPod owners are pretty happy with their players.
I'm sure you can make the argument about how fucking
stupid all those people are but I'm sure most of those
people who do get iPods don't really give a rats ass
what you think. I used to have an iPod myself until I
realized that I'm not much of a music buff but if I
ever had to do it again, an iPod would be it. 200 bux?
The cheapest iPod is $250 and I wouldn't spend my
money on a crappy $50 player.
\_ News flash: Apple is a FUCKING HARDWARE COMPANY.
\_ All hail Steve!
\_ See above Re: Evans Bathroom.
\_ I like the iRiver iHP-120 (20 GB for ~$300, only a bit bigger than
an iPod, good battery life, no desktop software necessary, voice
recorder, FM tuner).

\_ the ipod is by no means perfect, but it's the best out there
in nearly every aspect except for price
\_ ipod mini. how much music do you have? i've filled my 20gb ipod
but would have bought the mini if it were available 4 months ago.
\_ I find it ironic that so many people would spend so much on an
overpriced dinky hardware toy to store and play back all of their
stolen music....
\_ Clever, and dated. Wake up: people do pay for music these days.
\_ You'd have to be spending a lot on music to fill up 40gb.
\_ Don't by the Muvo. my coworker had the HD crash on him after 3
months. I guess it's a common problem. He had a previous product
from Rio/SonicBlue also crash after <1 year. iPodMini seems to be
more hip than the original ipod. |
