just like PC cannot kill apple. MS cannot kill Ipod ... retards will still buy them

[Testm0nkey]

or get them for free

woohoo!

[impala454]

yeah they said internet explorer would never be the dominant browser over netscape too.

[GOB]

they waited too long.


a lot of stores don't even advertise using the general term "mp3 player" anymore because "ipod" is the correct term in the eyes of dumb (most) consumers.

Thanks DOC.

just because some of us like our ipods doesn't make us retards

[M1N10N]

I always wondered if the retards know they are retarded (not just "different") :angel:

[John6.7]

For some people the iPod is the mp3 player that is best for them... but i do think may people do just get iPods rather than looking for other MP3 players.

[basschick]

and it was definitely the best when I originally got mine. Ever hear about dell jukeboxes anymore? No? Well that's about the only other thing that was out when I got mine. Sheesh.

And hey, they are pretty good products.

[taatimmi]

i like my mp3 player even though i don't know the brand of it... it plays music, it fits in my pocket and it makes me happy.

[Throwdown]

And hey, they are pretty good products.

i guess that's why mine completely stopped working three months after i bought it.

ive had nothing but problems with that piece of shit, typical apple

[Mommy]

ummm how long have you had it?

irivers and rios have been on the market for a while.

[GOB]

yes, i was also going to call horse-shit, but i'm glad you did. ipods came out long after the mp3 player was widely available.



and some people are hilariously awful cliches (most don't even know it), so an ipod is very fitting.

[zetec]

I just bought a 1gb flash cart for my new gameboy micro. it's gonna be my new mp3 player/video player/NES/GBA/Genesis/SNES emulator.

and it's smaller than my ipod.


i'd have to say it's gonna be pretty fucking tight.


and ipods do what they're supposed to do, and they do it easily. nuff said. They may not be the best, they may not be for everyone, but they sure as hell sell a lot, which definately says something about the product, whether you like it or not.

[woody]

ipod serves it's purpose

you load music and it plays

[impala454]

Ipods are definitely nice, but they seem to be kind of expensive for being nothing more than a portable music player. Think back to the walkman, a good brand walkman with good quality sound back in the day was like $50-60. Then we had CD players, good portable CD players were like $100-120 tops. A good Ipod is what like $250+? Just seems like a lot for something with not a lot of use. I know they have the cheaper, smaller one, but it doesn't have a display. Just my $0.02 anyways. If anyone is looking for a small, $100 or so music player, I bought my sister and bro-in-law each a creative zen for christmas and was really impressed.

i forgot to mention Creative. They have been on the market a while too....just as long as ipods.

i've had mine for 2 or 3 years
and they were the first BIG holders, not those 64mb 256mb pieces of bullshit that I had before my ipod

things work depending on how you treat them - so it doesn't surprise me that someone who hates apple products would have their's break in 3 months. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

And please don't incenuate that I'm an idiot. You don't even want to fight me about that one. I will win. Especially when it comes to knowing my computer shit.

[Rocky]

Early generation iPods tended to fuck up a ton. The batteries were lucky to last a year.


That was long ago though, it still leaves a bad taste in many mouths

[Testm0nkey]

i think you would be severely beaten in the computer literacy department

[zetec]

real gangstas make their own mp3 players

Youre wrong on the mp3 market. irivers, rios, and creatives have been on the market for jsut as long and they had considerable storage sizes.

Will hardly used his mp3 player. He left it in a special case, never dropped it, and treated it exactly as it should have been treated. The software on it froze and he couldnt turn it on or off. So maybe you shouldnt incenuate.

Lastly, I think Mr. Lament has you beat on this one. You frequently post about ipods but seem to have little to no knowledge of other mp3 players. Hell, you really dont even know much about ipods. A great example of this was your completely wrong idea of how lithium ion batteries work that you posted on the old boards.

If a person is treating their ipod correctly, there is still a pretty good possibility that something could go wrong with it. Have you not heard all the complaints with the new Nano's. The two ipods that I have had experience with both went out from the same problem which was not due to physical abuse, but rather product malfunction. Rarely do I hear of someone having an ipod as long as you have and not having problems. You are lucky.

as soon as i get my FREE shuffle i shall determine the victor in this battle!

but i can atest that rios do not stand up to animals eating it

[Rocky]

I have ~3 year old Rio 256mb mp3 player. It doesn't work perfectly after all the time, I wouldn't buy another of their products. It works well enough, but bleh.

[pysex]

anyone checked the prices on ipod's lately?


they went down...


that and you can get an education discount on it

[zetec]

this thread has gotten lame and degenerated into another
"IPODS SUCK"
"NO U!"
thread.


Locked.

[Mommy]

IT LIVES!

[zetec]

IT LIVES!

try and keep the arguments logical and if possibly provide sources, if only because everybody's quoting things as facts, despite the arguments being directly opposed to each other.

And let's stop with the name-calling. It only serves to make the insulter's own argument less credible, and further the degeneration of this thread.

[taatimmi]

but the degeneration of threads is fun!

and name calling is more fun!

and citing opinions as facts is the most fun!

I can cite all of what I say if thats what you want. To be very honest, I havent called anyone a name. I just think it was stupid to close this thread just because its discussion. A lot of people argue illogically and Im sure people see that and can notice when they should discount an argument. If you want me to start plastering credible sites about how ipods are pieces of shit though, i can do that .

you're a fucking idiot. i never once dropped it, never mistreated it, never did anything to it to warrant it to stop working. i treated that thing very well because it was a gift from my mom. it stopped working because due to an electronic problem, and because apple makes shitty products

maybe next time you should get my side of the story before making dumbass comments. congrats, you made yourself look like an even bigger moron than you already are.

[Spectatrix]

and because apple makes shitty products

Now now, Apple does make some good products, albeit expensive ones. I don't own an Ipod, but I do know that there have been various problems with them (batteries dying, screens scratching easier, etc.) Have there not been problems with other mp3 players as well? Is the extent of problems with Ipods exagerated because of how damn many of them there are out there? (Serious questions)

[Mommy]

that is a good question. All I know is that of the larger storage mp3 players that i have dealt with, i have had only problems with ipods. neither the rio, the creative, or the 2 irivers had any problems. The two ipods i have run across both had software malfunctions of some sort. I have also had several friends complain to me about their ipods. I say "you should have gone with an iriver". next thing I know, they buy an iriver and are completely happy with it. This has happened about 4 or 5 times.


also, this site is over the top and funny

all i know is apple sucks!

and i hate you!

[Spectatrix]

Awww, isn't that sweet. I hate you too, Will.

[Hartmann]

Will, if you would have contacted Apple they probably would have sent you a brand new one...


Anyway, my iPod has treated me well. I listened to it the whole way from Houston using an iTrip and it worked great. Different people have different experiences.

[hodge]

itrip, fwiw, is junk.

[Psykopath]

Haven't had a problem with my iPod. Plays music for 10+ hours on a good charge.

Windows elitism vs. Apple elitism.

Both sides are still assholes.

[Psykopath]

Yes! Come on now, I'm not ragging on you.

...That's for Will to do once a month AM I RITE?! j/k
