All you apple whores need to stop sucking their genitalia.
It should have a bookmark feature, wether you use it or not. You can't bash nintendo for all their stupid shit and then defend apple for their stupid shit. I won't allow it.

iPods don't have bookmarking? Ahahaha score one more for creative.

For me it came down to "is 1/4 inch less in thickness really worth $80?"
The answer, of course, was no.
Well that's like, your opinion, man.
I never bought into the whole audiobook thing but there's this from the apple site:
The digital shelves of the iTunes Music Store are stocked with more than 9,000 audiobooks, so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod mini takes you. And your iPod mini will set a bookmark for you when you stop “reading,” letting you pick your book up right where you left off.

I just really like their products, and dislike how some iPod owners act. I don't care if people buy iPods, but if someone asks me what MP3 player I think they should buy I'm going to answer honestly, and defend my opinions. If they told me they wanted it to buy all their music off of iTunes.com I'd tell them to buy an iPod. I really have no alliegance to Archos specifically, if another company came along with hardware I liked and at the right price I'd support them too. I am considering starting up a small battery-replacement service for Archos or iPod units that might need it, making good use of my elite soldering skills. I've been doing so many side-jobs with people's computers lately and I like the extra cash. I don't know what iPod battery replacements cost, but I would likely charge $50-60 + shipping for the various Archos units.
I'm not complaining about anything. I just think it's funny that I keep hearing about "podcasting" and since most podcasts are spoken word (news-style shows) in MP3, you'd think bookmarking them would be possible. You're right, most people are probably content with their corporate-fluff TV and radio media - but I keep finding interesting shows (from many different political points of view) and I rarely even listen/watch ANY mainstream news lately, except for humor/observation. Even independant video media is growing in content - I'd like to think that people are sick of the options they've had in the past and are creating their own alternatives, it's an awesome thing really.
Yes, you can - just not as easily or on nearly as many computers as with an Archos and quite frankly most other MP3 players. It doesn't need to be put in a special mode, doesn't need Windows XP or 2000, doesn't need a 22MB program, doesn't hide your music or make accessing individual albums or files a pain in the ass, doesn't need a custom 3rd party app - you just plug it in and go.
"what about the click wheel?"
"The iPod is "sexy"... bla bla bla"
Why, do they support Ogg / Flac or something?
They do have bookmarking, on Audible.com, AAC , and I'd assume Apple lossless files but not MP3. That's OK, as any iPod user can tell you you're better off converting your MP3's to AAC anyway. You can do it quickly and easily (unless your PC isn't running XP/2000 of course) with God's gift to coding - iTunes. In addition, AAC encoded files start to sound better with age, and actually increase the sound quality of the ripped CD's they came from. Plus, AAC files can change a diaper, rotate tires, mow the lawn AND help you with your homework. It's true - Steve Jobs said so.
Wow. I respect your opinion and all, but shut the fuck up, you're a god damned idiot. I'm tired of hearing this crap, people only buy iPods because it's the cool thing to do!!!nyearrrrgh. Get over yourself.
Have iPods burned your house down? Was your first-born child killed by Steve Jobs? What is the animosity you hold for people who choose iPods over other mp3 players? Yes, other mp3 players can play OGG files. I don't care. I don't use them, I never have. Yes, other mp3 players can record TV broadcasts, make creme brulee, and wipe my ass. I don't care. I can wipe my own ass. All I want is an mp3 player that will automatically download my new songs from iTunes when I connect it, and will... well, play mp3s. LAME encoded mp3s, thank you. You act like iPod users are trying to brainwash people into getting iPods for some inexplicable reason, because "everyone" is doing it. You know what? Maybe there's a good reason for it.
There's nothing wrong with having an mp3 player that looks good and has a good interface. It does everything I want and nothing less. You claim to be impartial on the subject, but it seems like you have a severe problem with people who make the informed, conscious choice to buy an iPod despite the other players on the market. We have our reasons, you have yours. If you don't respect the buying habits of others, why should you expect anyone else to give a shit about yours?

Sony MP3 CD Walkman. I got one for $100 back in summer 2002, and it's just as good as any other MP3 player out there, maybe even better because you can archive all your favorite MP3s on CD and play them at will.
