| 510146 | 2006-12-31 09:28:00 | Probably. Ipod sells cause half the people who buy it want to be "cool and hip" rather then having a half decent mp3 player - im not saying its a bad mp3 player, im just saying their needs will be better suited if they looked past having white headphones in their ears and actually looked at the specs of the player. |

| 510147 | 2006-12-31 11:30:00 | Is your real name Steve Jobs? Possibly. Don't forget that about 80%+ of iPod owners are also PC owners who just happen to like using something that looks good, is easy to carry around and is simple to use. |

Youse pays your money and takes your choice. :waughh: Fortunately while Apple has a legal monopoly over MP3 players (they have sold the most to date although they weren't the first company to produce an MP3 player), they are not the only player in town and as customers we are free to choose which MP3 player best suits our needs and price bracket from all of the manufacturers. |

| 510150 | 2006-12-31 23:07:00 | Till it breaks, cracks, or the battery stops working. That can happen with any digital audio player though. My nano is around 15 months old and has been dropped multiple tiled floors with no visible breaks or cracks. The battery isn't as good as it was, but I don't see it getting to bad for a while yet. I know people have had bad experiences with this sort of thing, but it is only the small number angry people you heard from, not the millions of happy owners. im just saying their needs will be better suited if they looked past having white headphones in their ears and actually looked at the specs of the player.It depends on what you place more importance on. For some it is specifications and the number of features the manufacture can cram in, for others it is ease of use, for others it is aesthetics, for others it is because it is a cool item to own. Specs are a factor, but for most people, the fact the alternative has a bigger screen or includes a radio may not be as important as the design and ease of use of the iPod. :) |

| 510152 | 2007-01-01 00:24:00 | Anyone deciding to get a new iPod should wait till after Mac World Expo when all the new toys have been announced and any "old stuff" has had the price knocked down a bit. "MacScoop is reporting that an 8-core Mac Pro is currently due for a January release. MacScoop also reports that a 4-core configuration may remain in Apple's lineup at a lower price point." There is always a better model coming out. If you always waited you would never buy it. The best time to buy is now, if you want one now. Apple is very secretive about everyting, so anything is only speculation. I have heard that the next full size ipod, the screen will take up the whole surface, and it will be touch sensitive, or will have the button down the side of the screen. Personally the current model is a good one, because the screen on any of these players is alway going to be too small to watch a movie on, but is fine for viewing short video podcasts of tv shows. Making the screen too large will require a lot more battery power. |
