IPod IS expensive
Home
It's good that someone is the devils advocado I suppose, but don't let this put you off owning a smashing gadget...
- Six-plus hours of battery life is not always enough
- Hmm, starts off with a good one, not that I'm in the habit of frequent journeys of more than EIGHT hours, but if I was I'd get one of these...
- Jogging with a hard drive-based player is not cool
- "Some experts say that it's impossible to damage the drive in this way" well, that would be good enough for me. If I ever jogged.
- The IPOD is expensive
- The standard excuse rolled out by people who are too poor, or have spent all their social security on glue and scratchcards. Work harder you jealous bums!
- You want to make high-quality digital recordings
- Oh no, also I can't watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer on my IPOD! Also, why can't I make toast in my kettle? How rubbish is that, all devices should be able to do ALL THINGS... Who's to say this option won't be available with a free software update... that's one of my favourite things about this, I've not had a personal stereo that I could upgrade before...
- You want a choice in online music stores
- Stores..?
Ah, right at the end of the article they 'fess up - it's the best piece of kit around.

dont do it. no matter what apples says the ipod does not tolerater running. If your not having problems then your not running enough. I ran for 5 years with a regular cd player no problems. the ipod didnot tolerate 5 weeks got it repaired and last 3 weeks. I am looking else where for a product that take the beating and keep on ticking!

...and I'm not a bum without a job :-)
I just don't see why I should buy a $400+ device
when I can buy one (e.g. from Archos) which can do exactly the same AND more !!

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
