Yeah, you dummy! Stop bragging about the money you're saving!!!

So.....why are iPods good?

(I've never seen one before)

Convince me.

It's like owning a Dreamcast for music. The competition does everything better, but it sure is pretty and white and elitist.

i would get one of these new ipods....but im sure i could find something better to buy with all those dollars...but then again, its so sleek and sexy

Wow, I thought Japan would be swamped with ipods by now. Tiny mp3 player with physically tiny hard drives in them.

Can't jog with them = no good for me.

My RCA Lyra with 128mb, weighing less than a paperclip, smaller than a cell phone battery, easily strapped to my arm, and no moving parts is my ticket for jogging bliss. I'd have an ipod hard drive shot to hell in a month.

What kind of jogging are you doing? I jog with mine all of the time.

Quite the fucking slap in the face to everybody that bought the old iPod. Apple is the Nintendo of computers and will continue to gouge its customers.

What the fuck are you going on about?

Is a speed bump of Pentium 4 processors a slap in the face to people who bought older Pentium 4 processors?

Is a 2004 Ford a slap in the face to a 2003 Ford owner?

It's called an upgrade cycle. Usually they improve products each time. It's been going on for decades in every industry.



ANYWAYS, I have a 10GB 3G iPod, and I'm jealous. I want more storage space...

(I like the touch-sensitive buttons of mine... but they can be WAY too sensitive at times. The "click wheel" seems like a better idea.)

More pictures and comparison shots [1G, 3G, 4G, Mini]

I sold my 1G last year and I'm thinking it might be time to pick up a new iPod now.

i need a little clarification. Are the buttons on the wheel real or are they they just touch sensitive sectors of the wheel? I take it if i want to up the volume a little I won't be skipping to the next song, but it sure seems like i would.
