iPod is crap

[solidsnake]

I think I've owned more iPods than anyone else in here (26 so far and going strong)

I don't currently own all of these, however I have at least purchased and used them for at least 4 months

6 5GB First Gens (One died because I dropped it, and I bought some for cheap and sold them later when I upgraded to the newer iPods)
4 iPod Videos (use them as neat external HDs for my business)
5 Click Wheel monochromes (three 20s and two 40s)
5 iPod Minis (Two Silvers and Three Greens, One replaced, one Stolen)
3 Third Gens (gf currently has one, and AppleCare just replaced it too )
2 iPod Nanos (great for the gym and incredible battery life)
1 1GB Shuffle (Gave it to my mom)


Yeah, I have 8 still (4 Video, 1 mini, 1 20GB, 1 Shuffle, and 1 15GB). Some are just lying around, some are just for shoots and giggles.

Now the question is...why do I have so many iPods? Why not?

Of all of these, how many have had Battery Failures? 2
How many have I messed up myself? 1
How many have I treated like crap? 20 at least!


I take both my video and nano into the sauna for usually 30 mins daily and guess what? They work great.

I must admit that Apple must implement some sort of sensitivity setting, but other than that, I have no complaints.

For me 2 hours of video time is plenty, as I watch a whole movie while jogging on the treadmill. And I like how I can change the volume even if the iPod is in my pocket.


So hate on me or learn lol

the charger costs £20 big deal, and go to settings and there is a volume limit, aww poor you do you ears still hurt? Go and moan to your mum.
How about the good things like how long does an album take to upload on to it??? 8 seconds? the video / photo quality is amazing, the sound quality is amazing, 7,500 - 15,000 songs in your pocket.

Also why didnt you go to the store and try before you buy,
If you dont like the iPod Go and get the Microsoft Zune Poo that is coming out and quit moaning to us about it, we dont care.

I have an iPod 60 GB and it is one of the best products I have bought.
My iPod mini still works.

The ipod is a product with extremely good sales. I don't have any mp3player, but a walkman. Yesterday at noon I got an extremely good idea for a mp3player. If it is commercialy acceptable it will hit the market.

After holding the play button down to turn off, do you push the lock slider over? That will keep the ipod from turning back on.
