it's the design that attracts me. good sound quality is a major bonus.

definitely click wheel for me, navigate through mp3s a lot lot lot more easier

Same here , ClickWheel make the iPod outstanding.

ability to play lossless and small form

The click wheel is Apple's trademark that's why it's so special.

the click wheel definitely makes me choose no other than ipod

wow looks like Click-Wheel is DOMINATING! everyone loves it huh.. cool lor..

yap.. the click-wheel is nice.. unique.. other mp3 player dun have this functions..

Click Wheel is soooo great , its so easy to use and the sound quality that seriously rawks...iPod is an iPod

No other MP3 player comes close...even Creative....just look at iPod and see how easy to use...

The click-wheel! What else could it be?

THE CLICK WHEEL. Yeeeep. It's freaking awesome and easy to use.

Also, I love the sound quality. <3

erm... agree wit amnesia.. currently listening to songs on my ipod too... WAHAHA.....
but then again... the battery life is a tiny turn off...

Podcasts can be downloaded freely by us. I've got around 30+ podcasts/vidcasts subscribed. It's the paid music and video that's restricted.

Which iPod feature do I like? It's the feature that allows me to play tracks without gaps in between. Oh wait that doesn't exist!

It's the WIDE-SCREEN that's attractive about the iPod.

Actually I got it as a gift.. But before that I was saving money for it because it has the U2 Ipod...

If it wasn't for U2.. I wouldn't even think about it.

kyliemin is a u2 fan?

for me, to love an ipod, it has to be the whole thing........be it the clickwheel or widescreen or design.....i love all of them features

I love everything in ipod. It has cool and clean design. But I don't really like the price of it.

The iPod's best feature is actually... its reputation. Everybody buys it becos everybody buys it. u kno wat i mean?

sure the good sound quality.. which differ it from creative product!!

The Click-Wheel is definitely one of the iPod's aces but not the price though.

The overall design of the iPod does it for me. My only complain is the battery life, and how you cant manually replace batteries if they're gone without resorting to taking your iPod apart in the process.

I love my Gold iPod Mini.

I used the ipod before, because of it's reputation too. Everybody using I also use la....
Now change to the sony, it's sound quality is much better. Sincerely, even with the stock headphones it's better. Just a lil lacking off the bass, but I like it.

boy do we all love the POD..... THE IPOD!!!
wahahah

Don't care what other people say, i'll never use another mp3 player other than the iPOD....

ME TOO!!!

but the main reason was the SEAMLESS INTEGRATION with what is arguably the best MP3 library management software in the world.

wahahaha..
the best for now.. i am rather sure they are able to come up wit sumthing even bettter!!

The iPod is pretty much king when it comes to portable audio devices.

yeah.. the iPod will keep on improving, and i think i will keep on buying it.. it somehow has this hold on me..

1 of ipod biggest advantage is the huge no. of owner is forcing ppl to create better software or frimware for it......especially those hacked firmware

erm... i think they are the benchmark currently..
hehehe
steve is a real smart @$$

iPod is the most 'happening' mp3 player. In the world. Worldwide its the most used mp3 player. PodCasts are being created everyday, every hour, every minute. Podcasts of everything. TV shows are being made in iPod format so people can download it, and the world of the iPod keeps expanding, making it the dominating player in many many countries.
People alwas say that the next mp3 player will be the "iPod killer", but so far none has really been able to do that, because of iPods reputation and popularity that has already taken the whole world by storm.

Hahaha..

I have to admit that all of the iPod's features play a part in me going for a unit... But the main one has to be the design... I mean, which other MP3 player has that cool design with the nice, large screen as well as the convenience of just moving your finger left and right on the circular click-wheel to adjust volume?

Not forgetting the fact that the iPod is, just like what hydrogen said, the world's most popular music player... And because of the iPod, it completely turned-around Apple Computer back into a major player in the business...

And remember what is now known as the "iPod economy"? So many different products and gadgets are being made specially for the iPod today... It is hard to think of any other music player that can generate such business for the third-party producers out there...

yup. the iPod economy.. wow.. All the iPod casings, Skins.. iPod is THE gadget to own la.. Kudos to Apple.

hahaha... it is an ownage piece of gadget... but this is the oni mp3 player with a whole list of cooooool accs... it can burn a hole in ur pocket but i think it is worth everything

Man I second this. iTunes is way better than WMP for me. It's my default media player for music.

i wonder if the bulk of profit apple gets comes from ipods?

I wouldn't be suprised if this was the case. When I was in the States last year, I noticed that MANY teenagers had iPods. In fact, it's quite normal to see people having the telltale white earphones sticking in their ears while walking around town.

Just to add to this, i never knew how low Malaysians could go but, i've seen many people using the Ipod earbuds with cheap Apple knockoffs , as long as nobody sees the player

I'd always recommend a earbud replacement ASAP, the stock ones make my ears stick and wet, and i really don't get what's the deal with wearing them as a fashion statement. Ultimate Ears UE-1 PRO, now that's a statement!

Reason i use an Ipod? Simple, Itunes, no software out there is easier to use, plus i can actually listen to previews of songs before i go out to Tower to buy them. And to add to that, the interface is just smooth and slick, fluid indeed.

Anyways interms of Audio quality, no insult to the Ipod. but the Iriver wins hands down, listened to 2 brought in by a german pal and they were sweet.

Ugh that's just plain sick. How lame can people get.

Oh, and speaking about iTunes, another thing I like is their variety of streaming audio channels. I never fail to have something to listen to.

Same here, my man... Since i got the iPod, iTunes has become my primary music player!

And just like what jhcj said, what other music player comes with such clear and large choice of streaming radio stations? Not forgetting the podcasts and videos as well...

OMG... people using iPod earphones for cheap ripoff mp3 players? thats just dumb. What happens when they want to skip a song? do they run off to the toilet to take out their mp3 player so no one can see it? haha

anywayz, yeah, iTunes the bomb. Haven't been able to use anything other than it ever since i got it.

i agree with Empire23. why stick with the regular iPod earphones anyway? switch to something better. And yeah, iRivers really good. but Apple's overall impress me much more.

Just pathetic if you ask me if you can't afford one, don't need to be a poser. Just accept that you just don't have one. Done. Malaysians

Normally the just sift through their pockets to reach their cap ayam MP3 player's knob to skip. Usual excuse? Didn't buy the remote control XD

Anyways the only MP3 player i've known is my IPod, so i might be biased for it. But then again, it's a superbly built and styled player. Plus it can play the FLAC and ALAC files i use with nary a hitch.

That reminds me, prepping Ipod for surgery, battery is near dewm liow.

iPod play FLAC? Mind to teach how you tweaked your iPod?

LOL cap ayam mp3 player.
ya me same case as you - my first mp3 player and probably my last. But i didnt get the remote control too. How does it work ar?

Oh ya, now i just remembered about the remote control... Where to get it ah, and how to use it?

I would've gotten it, if not for the hefty price tag. Ouch.

LOL, if you're a bonified warranty voider. Try rockbox, free and lovely open source. But don't expect it to be rock solid even at it's most stable, i do encounter a few problems.

have fun dude


You can buy it nearly everywhere. About RM12X. Comes with earbuds.

a remote control with earbuds.. ermm..
don't mind me asking? wat in the world earbuds with remote for?

beats me, ask apple, probably thought they could sell even more Earbuds that way XD

O_O so cheap?

I remember I saw that it was selling for like upwards of RM300.

Hmm...maybe I saw one of them third party products. >_>

Around 150-170 the last time i saw it, assume harga turun lol.

And not that fancy schmancy remote, the ori remote, the one linked to the Ipod lol so the only thing visible is the volume, track, play/pause buttans. Anyways, that reminds me, where the **** did i put mine

I think empire23 was refering to iPod radio remote.

Yes, iPod radio remote is around that price. Whereas Apple remote is RM149 only @ 1U.

Still a little steep for me, just for a remote.

Oh well, if lady luck smiles on me and I hit the jackpot, I'll get one.

erm.. the ipod radio remote everywhere also almost same price... jus too pricy i think.. but it is a damn nice item...

It's not a necessity for me, since the iPod click wheel's just an arm's length away from me anyway.

hey , just curious..why its soooo damn cheap over at eBAy...is it safe to get..well , i am worried about our 'kastams'

That's the interesting thing eh ? Many things on eBay are usually sold at WAY below market prices...

But i can understand your concern... The Customs (not just here, but also at the seller's side) can cause all sorts of problems and delays to the shipment, especially if it comes in a big box-type... However, i ordered some stuff from eBay and other than slight delays, the products always reach me in near-perfect condition...

hahaha.. depending on wad courier u use la...
but nowadays everything is in good condition n etc....

True true, geejun... I have bought CLIe and other items from eBay but so far none for the iPod though... Since there are so many AppleCenters around, at least iPod accessories can be purchased after viewing mah...

International Courier can be trusted! Malaysia wan......... i duno

i never trusted courier...like poslaju..i can't remember how many things i've sent and it ended up in middle of nowhere...and i can't do anything about it...i would rather trust companies like DHL and UPS..but their services very expensive lar....

You get the quality you pay for ma....
...nothing in life is cheap..anymore.

Use better delivery services, you don want your Apple products to end up somewhere lost.

Expensive = Wallet hurt , heart hurt.

design looks cool.. but i like more on the name... Apple iPod..

whoa such an old thread u managed to find it?

geng

lol whoa damn old topic lol. its the design.....

waa... last post before being dug up was about a year ago..

anyway back to topic..

i like simplicity.. and simplicity is beauty
