Ipod New trend

[CaptaiN_JacK]

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.

So everything rich kids that listen to rap have is a trend?

Have you ever thought that what you wear is a trend, since probably about half a million kids in the US dress in the same style as you?

I have no need for an ipod right now. I'd like to have one, but the majority of the time I'm at school this year as opposed to last year, I'm either studying or doing homework. After school, I only listen to music while on the computer. I would like the listen to it while going to sleep since I don't have a tv, but I'll live. Once I get a job and can afford paintball+other things I can't afford now, maybe I'll buy one.

Yeah, they all want to be like you.

I got one for Christmas. I bought it mainly for snowboarding.

I've wanted one since I first saw one (We own 3 Gen1's in our family, One Mini, and then mine, most recent 40 gig)

It pisses me off seeing all of these kids owning 40 gig ipods, and putting a gig of music on it... using it occasionally or busting it out to show off. There are hundreds in my school (of nearly 2000) all with ipods, when before it was rare to see 2 in one day. (Rich neighborhood too...)

So far I've only filled 1 gig up with music, but I plan to go to the art institute of seattle soon, and having a portable harddrive for modelling and video work will be quite helpful as I've been told from my friend who just graduated, he said he could have really used an ipod or portable HD.

I also picked up an itrip, which ****ing rocks! It works perfect if you get it in the right spot, otherwise it's pretty staticy, but for 35 bucks I can't complain... wireless ipod music in your car? Pwnage.

Music just sounds so much better and so much clearer on an ipod, it sounds so good, just pisses me off that these kids ask for it for christmas, use it once or twice, putting "puff daddy" and lots of modest mouse (who I do like, but some listen to it because it's popular around here... being a local band contributes too).

Anyways, end of my rant... I've wanted an ipod since they first came out, and finally I got one, but for some reason this holiday everyone else got one too, so now I don't feel special

There are other MP3 players that are just as good, if not better for cheaper. The only advantage the iPod has on those is the availability of accessories. I love my 20 GB Rio Karma...

I have a theory

When i was in school, if you brought a cd player, walkman(tapes, remember those?), cell phone(never when i was there), or playing cards, it was confiscated and given back at the end of the year!!!
I think kids get Ipods because confiscating that expensive little bit of hardware is like grand larceny! The schools are afraid!

Just a thought

i hate how recently they've became like a "status symbol" for the lower classmen in my school

lets keep off the stereotyping, because thatll only get ugly

[arsonpaintball06]

i love my ipod too. not really a new trend, been around for a lil while........jus alot of ppl get em for xmas

[Deltree]

i'd much rather get a pump for 300$.(which im doing)

I bought a pump for 100(PGP) and then bought an ipod anyway

[wad04]

tell me 2 usefull things the ipod can do that the dj can't, besides break.

More readily available gadgets, and I personally find the little wheel to be more user friendly. I know plenty of people who've never had problems with their iPod, including me. If there were an equal number of Dell DJs out there, I'm sure you'd hear about them having problems as well.

[wad04]

what else do u need other then the ipod, head phones, a cord that plugs into your car, and ears? the dj is just as easy to use. and 50 dollars cheaper

[Python14]

I've never had problems with my Ipods.

The reason I don't want a Dell is simply because it's a dell.

yeah, it's bullheaded of me....but do I care? no

I know that you're going to use it as a portable hard drive, but I just found that ironic. I put around 17 gigs of music on my 40...I'll probably never fill up the total 40, but what they hey. They should make the software so you could link 2 ipods together and transfer music from one to another. That would rule.
