Welcome to last week, but i'll give this a go anyway.

 

Why not buy a decent mp3 player with that money, one with better sound quality? Or rather, one that doesn't force you to use iTunes? Throw some good headphones in there instead of the ridiculously bad iPod earbuds that everyone wears. Then, you still have plenty of money leftover to buy a decent PDA, one that has equally efficient or better capabilities and isn't limited to the mediocre cellular provider, Cingular.

 

Touch screen? That was first innovated by the most recent LG phones. Apple isn't creating anything new except mashing two electronics into a more expensive one with less features and specifications.

rofl hahn spam thread ftw

I only heard about it today tooo (on the radio breakfast show haha).

 

Well I know what I want for Xmas this year!

[that-chick]

the should stick to makin ipods

[shirakawa_otori]

djwakka, my thoughts exactly... :thumbsup: the advantage that it brings is really just being mashed into one, so it's less stuff to carry around. But I can't help but agree with everything else.

It looks nice and everything...but I don't think it's reliable...I'd rather get a new MP3 player...with better sound quality

I use my own earphones, not the Apple ones, for my iPod.

 

Yeah, they combined it all into one to make a pretty fucking awesome product. However, I'm not getting one until it gets upgraded to like 30 gigs or so. There's no way I'd fit all my music and music videos onto 8gb.

Yeah I have 3 year old earphones I use I threw my iPod ones away a week after I got iPod...

 

iPhone looks cool IMO

You can compress your files into 32kbps mp3 files and fit most of them within 8 gigs. Might be a wise idea since iPod audio quality is shit anyway, even at a lossless format. Videos, forget it.

 

I know it seems like I hate Apple, but I don't. I hate their products. But I love them as a corporate marketing conglomerate and their target audience of average, naiive consumers who know little to nothing about digital media and sound. In fact, I bought $2K worth of Apple shares since I heard about the iPhone last week and there shares went up 7 dollars, making me a few hundred.

ahaha a shrewd investment

 

i hate ipod earbuds,they LOOK nice,but thas about the only thing going for it. creative earbuds rock,use it for ANYTHIN and the quality is always just as good.

 

iono bout the iphone...i love my samsung d600 coz its sleek and sexy, but we ll see,especially if they can make a bigger size, or whether another competitor comes up with something better

[Clogz]

i like straight-up headphones...earbuds of any sort give my awful headaches.

ill stick with my future investment in a black 30gb iPod video...should be buying sometimes in the next two weeks.

sweeeeeet.

the iPhone is nothing new.

there has been plenty of products like this in the past few years, both commercially and home brew. the only difference is they got less publicitiy, unlike this iPhone.

 

by the way, the battery life is just a pitiful 5 hours, unless your just using it as a iPod, you can scrap in 16 hours.

the only good thing about this phone is the 8gig memory. it might not be a lot...but it's more than what you can buy for a regular phone. Plus you don't have to carry two things in your pocket (i.e. your cell and mp3).

 

im sticking to my chocolate though...it looks way smaller.
