Hey, that's not an iPod! - Page 2

Burundi Cloud · 02-12-2007, 07:17

If I ever had an iPod, I would never embarrass myself unhiding it out of my pockets in public. When I was checking reviews and features I crossed my fingers wishing there was something wrong with iPod(s) since I could not bear the idea. Fortunately, it has too much shortcomings.

A company charging %15-20 more just for a color black might be (and probably is) charging more just for even less than a color change.

well, the ipod is a social fenomena, and as all "cool" things, the hype wears down, you see people who bought it just to be cool and those are not exactly people you want to be asociated with,

i remember being in a market, and suddenly the butchers phone rings, she pulls out a motorola V3 razr,

i also remember being on a coffee place, i was in line with a friend of mine, his dad wanted to buy a new computer, his dad going over those crappy computer magazines which usualy publish old news and reviews which are decided by their sponsors insted of their techs, so i told him "you shouldnt read that crap, magazines like those are the reason people buy ipods", and this american guy behind us kind of looks away in shame and hides his Ipod in his pocket..., i almost burst out laughing,

its not the player itself, if apple wanted, the ipod would have 40h battery life, FM radio, support every known audio format and sound like a herman kardon sound system, its the mentality of apple corporation, aslong as its good looking and cool, it dosnt have to be good, and we can impose whatever restriction we want (propietary cables and accesories, crap file support, bad build quality so you have to change it often), there was even a rumor once that they wanted to use a propietary headphone plug so you would have to buy the headphones off apple or a licensed manufacturer (from which apple gets a % off each accesory sold), its just that corporate mentality of "lets screw up to the last cent off them", itunes is a chain and ball on your leg forcing you to use an ipod or lose your music collection, so even when you want out, you have to consider that if you did buy music or converted all your music to itunes format, you will have to trow everything away and start again, losing the time and money you spent on building your collection.

Wow man thats the best definition of iPod I've ever seen....
Exactly what I had in my head, but put into words, I really like that, thats the TRUTH

After I was pretty impressed by your post Aevum, I decided to make a little video and put it on youtube, to hear what people would think about a different player than iPod...
Link: Apple ... Think different.

Yeeze, I'm still not able to view it..I get this message:

"The video you have requested is not available.

If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process."

Yeeze · 02-18-2007, 22:14

This won't work, becuz its the duplicate of the first one...
But the first still won't work either but its showing up...
