Agreed.:yuck:

What I want in an mp3 player is simply a hard disk, LCD display and some decent headphones. Drag n drop to the device, that's it. It would recognise the ID3 tag, and you could navigate easily with a 4 way pad with an enter button. Yet it's so hard to find something like that!!!:(

digiutal display screen, a random button, Loud, clear.

SORTED.

But it is a fact that in any catagory the Apple product tends to be the most expensive, to lack features, and to have severe design flaws .


So show me which device has no design flaws or "gayness", the most features (that all work) and it is also a top selling device on the market at a "reasonable" price?

Could you recommend a model?;)

I couldn't personally recommend a particular model having never used one, however the device description fits that of the Creative hardware UI, so I would suggest looking at Creative if the device fits the needs of the potential user.:)

So sub $50 for a basic 1GB media player. With menu screen + controls?
What about prices for a 2GB,4GB,8GB 30GB, 100GB with video capability?

I bought myself an Iriver H10 6GB MP3 Player
how much you say?
$135 - off trade me "refurbished" - a . k . a some teenager bought it and had to give it back cause he couldn't afford it

colour screen - good for Pictures but not video capable - a lot better screen than the 4GB ipod Mini i had before it ( i sold that because it got too small and the battery died and it scratched like the thin paint on a expensive Ferrari and so on and on . . . . . . :p )

it has a menu and all that fluff - also has a FM radio - which i have never ever seen on a ipod? why is that i use the radio on mine all the time :thumbs:

the battery life is on par with a ipod of competing size - it is also user replaceable - as in you push a button and the battery pops out - how simpler can you get :D

it came with a nice set of sennhiser ear buds that are of a MUCH better quality then the standard ipod ones (also you dont get mugged as much walking down the road cause no one can see the white ipod headphones :lol:)

you also dont have to use the horrid itunes\quicktime to move music onto it - drag and drop - wait a bit then unplug - DONE!

brand new it is probably a bit more expensive than the competing ipod but you get so much more and everything quality wise is a lot better than the ipods\ ipod counterfeits you see

end of rant :lol:
