| 510075 | 2006-12-27 07:58:00 | Wait till it needs to be repaired under warranty. Or better yet, when it is NOT under warranty. Not only that, but it is a 'hot' item to thieves. Leave it for five minutes and do not expect to see it ever again. I intend to be careful. I thought this might be a post about the fruit...apples..well...I did! What's worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm? Biting into an apple and finding 1/2 a worm. That's about the only joke concerning apples I have. Doesnt really help much :p There are a few iPod horror stories out there but when you consider how many of those things have been sold, you can imagine that the ones with problems are a very small proportion. It's also important to remember that the hard drive based models do not cope well with mistreatment, and a lot of users don't seem to understand this. I plan to treat it well, and the IPod name does count for something, that its likely to be reliable. |

Depending on where you are buying some DSE stores have minimal stock left at $498. I can get the new 60GB Zen Vision:M for $554 + about $5 for freight. |

| 510082 | 2006-12-27 09:31:00 | I'm suprised that no one has even suggested the humble PSP. Downgraded to 1.5 (Or Dev-Hooked), the PSP is more than capable of running almost any piece of homebrew, including several excellent media players. Considering $300 for the PSP + $200 for a 2gb MS Duo, a $500 Music Player/Movie Player/Game Console/Internet/Photo displayer its a good buy especially if you consider running homebrew on it. I use my PSP mostly for music and the sound quality is good, although a little quiet. Does anyone know of an application I can use to increase the volume of my music collection? | Cornot (10386) | ||
| 510083 | 2006-12-27 09:32:00 | $554 isnt bad, but how do i get music onto a Zen? and what codecs? |
