This portrays the iPod as being a) scratch prone b) complicated and c) just weird

a) is true for the most part, iPods love to get little scratches but on the other hand i had one fall off of my car going 50 (new version of leaving your cup of coffee on top of the car and forgetting to get it...) and proceeded to get run over with only one deep scratch and numerous minor ones the iPod (3G) is still very capable of working and the lists can still be seen easily.

B) complicated? who has every thought of iTunes as complicated, you upload a CD - and plug your iPod in, i suppose you can eliminate the button you press to upload... oh wait, nevermind, you can... and last time i checked zune's are having some major issues running .

c) i dont know about this one... m$...


overall im just sick of hearing people moan and complain about iPods being total pieces of junk, but rather, if they were crap, people wouldnt buy them, and using simple deductive reasoning we see that iPods are actually relatively good portable music plays ... "but but but but they dont have wifi, and WAN, and and and and bluetooth" - cry me a river, nothing is perfect.

I love seeing how apple is gaining more respect and getting peoples heads to turn away from windows and start bringing more people into a world without windows, just showing someone that windows isnt the only OS will help broaden the industry.

I have no idea how to hack but i'll take it if someone gets it and doesnt want it....

PS3 if i can ever get/afford one...

Last time i checked, buildings stood up without concrete... the concrete is simply there to enclose the structure much like a previous poster mentioned. Ever seen a building with only glass sides?

I know I'm probably being biased here, but i think m*cro$oft is filled with a bunch of greedy people who care nothing about their consumers, and this is why i have been glad to see the iPod do so well the past few years and see apple finally take hold of a market. Sure apple charges a premium - but they charge a premium because the iPod really is the best. Like all of the other reviewers have stated - they all clearly have wheels, wonder where that started?

Thin to win - the bulkier something is the less I am willing to shove it in my pocket for a day and carry it around - i already have to carry a wallet and an oversized brick of a cellphone last thing i want is a huge Zune taking up even more space in my pocket.

I like the idea of having wifi, if someone finds a way to throw a linux distro on a Zune and allow me to download music while walking around then i might consider the extra bulk useful, but until then, its extra bulk.

Does anyone know how durable the zune is? i have heard all of these crazy stories from my friends about washing nanos and swimming with them - i myself have dropped an iPod 3g off the top of my car going 50 and had nothing happen except a few minor scratches on the front ( people always complain about scratching but anything that gets launched off a car into asphalt without taking more than 3 scratches has my vote ).

Point is, most people are happy with their iPods and since everyone knows how to use one now its even better and more user friendly, as even my young sister knows how to use one.

About time sprint gets a sexy phone, until now I have only thought of getting one of those (ugly) a900's...

anyone know how well these work, i have heard alot of flak about motorola and their shotty razrs...


cheers
