hate the ipod?
check out one of these instead. http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/20...ries-review.php Mostly targeted at the Nano crowd, as far as high-capacity storage devices go, the ipod (60gb) is still relatively safe with few competitors.    (not what you expected from the thread? blow me.) -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

the ipod software and its fuzzy logic is quite amazing. It works quite well and is way better than the dell dj that is its mainstream competetor.

the sound and the video/pictures on the zen are soo much nicer. my co-workers all have ipods and a couple of them saw nick's zen and were wanting to return their ipods to get one.

QUOTE (jonathan83 @ May 23 2006, 08:55 AM) you CAN replace ipod batteries you have to send your ipod back to apple to get the batteries replaced... and you don't even get the same ipod back, you get a refurbished one back... so if you had any engravings on it then you're just shit out of luck |

Same storage and technical specs as the "M" but with a bigger screen, built in speakers, a smartcard slot, and an optional expanded battery attachment to increase the life of your player (possibility of swapping out batteries) -------------------- FUCK YOU

a couple of months ago i was seriously going to get a creative, but their website had about 20 different mp3 players but didn't include the specs... like if the internal storage was flash or a hard drive... i wanted a flash one since i run alot, in addition to that i couldn't distinguish why one model was better than the other without the specs
since creative failed to put the complete specs on their website i ended up selling my soul to apple and getting an ipod shuffle for my next mp3 player if creative decides to inform the consumer of the specs on their mp3 player then i'll definately consider getting a creative |

If I ever got an ipod for free... I would sell it. Whats great is I work at a retail store again so I get $$$ off on mp3 players. Sometimes they hand out free stuff too. Like a month before I started there, everyone got a free ipod.
