Ipod New trend

[nippinout]

The accessories are a ripoff.

I went to look for something to get my little sister for xmas, and they had little colored socks that you could put the ipod mini into. The box of four socks coast $30?!!?!?!!??!

Ripoff.

I'd like an ipod, but at the price they are at, it's not worth it. Good interface design. But so much money.

I have the Creative Labs version and took it to practice a little while before Christmas and a kid goes "is that the fake Ipod? My mom asked me if I wanted one for Christmas but I said no I want an Ipod." I said "why?" and all he said was that they were better. The only real advantage I saw with the Ipod was that it is smaller. But I dont really care about that. My "fake Ipod" can still fit in my pocket without any problems and it does the same thing as an Ipod and it was $100 less than the Ipod. Which, I reinvested in paintball with.

AGH! I've had an ipod for about a year and a half now. EVERYONE calls me a yuppie for having it. "I HAD IT BEFORE YOU KNEW WHAT ONE WAS, AAAAAG!"

compared to the dell dj, i personally like the feel of the dj. Just because it isn't laminated in plastic and it can actually take abuse unlike the ipod, plus its 50 dollars cheaper.

I bought one when 4G iPods first came out (ones with the click wheel). I've always wanted an iPod before the majority of my friends knew what an mP3 player was. When the 4G's came out and were a little cheaper I went ahead and dropped 300 bucks for it (which is A LOT of money for me). Now that Christmas is over everyone has an iPod, it kind of sucks because I liked being one of the kids that had one. The majority of the people can't get theres to work because iTunes+Windows is kind of hit and miss (mine works flawlessly).

Rant - the iPod IS a status thing, most of the people that got iPods for Christmas couldn't even fill a gigs worth of music and I feel like the majority of my friends owning iPods is a waste.

Yeah, iPods are the cool thing now. Everybody's gotta have one, and they all wear the little white earbuds.



Course, I'm one to talk. I still use the white earbuds too. Except I tuck my 'pod in my pocket and use the remote like it's supposed to be used. :P

[Skoad]

the earbuds are no good, but you can sell them on ebay for like 50 bucks for some reason. My friend sold one sealed pack of just the foam pieces for like 15 bucks.


ipods are cool but their file storing system is completely retarded and not being able to take music off them is also dumb. (unless i just don't know how)

[Ov3rmind]

Ipods Pwn all you haters out there....


I just got mine as well. i don't know how I survived without it. The ability to put EVERY SINGLE CD I OWN onto this itsy bitsy thing is phenominal!!!!


Ipod Haters

Agreed. As someone who listens to a ridiculous amount of music, this little thing is God. I bought a 20 gb and it's already half full. It's nice not having to carry around hundreds of CDs in a massive book and a cumebrsome CD player that skips.

And why did I choose the iPod over a Dell DJ or the other available players? Because it works. I'm not saying the others don't, but I know plenty of people with iPods and no complaints. In short, I knew what I was buying and I went for it. I have a job so I know my spending limit, and I fealt it was worth it.

Skoad, do you mean remove songs from the iPod or transfer them to your computer from the iPod? Because it's quite easy to remove them.

Everyone Got An Ipod

I still use my bulky Creative Labs Nomad2c.. holds maybe 32 songs with a 64MB storage card in the expansion slot.. so yea.

w00t for lo-tech.

Well, I got mine for Christmas too. I have about 10 gigs of music on there. I took it to school today and uploaded some....errr....games :) Onto a computer at school, and a friend of mine downloaded them right after. Cool to not have to burn cds anymore. But, at first, it wouldn't power on after being fully charged, and the screen I think leaked some ink or something. Because if you look at it at an angle in the sun, the screen looks wierd. I'm worried that if I abuse it much more, that it will break. The screen doesn't seem very thick, and I bet it could break easily. I ordered a nice leather case for it though, hopefully it will be more protected :)

Some kids today saw that I had it, and 5, yes 5 (all rich and decked out in abercrombie), asked me if I could help them set theirs up over the phone tonight. Pathetic, really pathetic.

Anyone else love there Hi-MD minidisc player?

This is a trend:

Ipods are not, sort-of. Think of it logically. It may seem that a lot of people have Ipods because they are a trend, but then you have to realise Ipods cost a lot of money, and Christmas was a couple weeks ago. A lot of people, including myself, would never buy an Ipod themselves, but would be just fine getting it as a gift (which I did not). Also, the reason a lot of people have Ipods now in schools is because they are so damn easy to conceal and carry around. carrying around a cd player in school for most people just isn't feasible.

The only way I could see it being a trend is if a lot of people that aren't obsessed with music, ie most people that have them, have the 40 gig Ipods, which is completely overkill unless you listen to music 24/7. Most students can do just fine with a Mini or a smaller storage Ipod.

I was thinking about getting an Ipod for Christmas, until I realised how much they are and that I only listen to the same 5 cd's in a rotation every couple of days.

Yes but did i fail to mention that 90% of these kids are rich, Listen to rap, and generaly piss me off and other things.

My Dell DJ can take a beating.
