meh, Ipod IS good, but as IkanAyam said, it's a bit overpriced. IMHO, I prefer a player that can do as much but much cheaper, thus that's why I always look for alternatives. Don't get me wrong, it's one of teh best MP3 players out there by miles. but price to feature ratio is a bit on teh low side

Well, that Microsoft Pod looks interesting but i doubt it can topple the iPod from its lofty pedestal... The iPod has been the dominant MP3 player for several years and despite the presence of many other pretenders to the throne (think Creative, Samsung, Sony etc), none of them have been able to kick them...
But i have to agree with some of you guys that the Pod is indeed overpriced! |

QUOTE(Mike3300 @ Jul 7 2006, 01:49 PM) iPod is the Apple Product..how can Microsoft copy other company's idea... Microsoft really that bad meh? well,ipod has been accused of doing that..Try invent something different and can VS the iPod...and become the iPod Killer...  QUOTE Apple's application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a patent on "rotational user inputs," as used in the iPod's interface, received a third "non-final rejection" (NFR) in August 2005. Also in August 2005, Creative Technology, one of Apple's main rivals in the MP3 player market, announced that it too held a patent on part of the music selection interface used by the iPod, which Creative dubbed the "Zen Patent," granted on August 9, 2005.On May 15, 2006, Creative filed suit against Apple for patent infringement with the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The company also asked the United States International Trade Commission to investigate whether Apple was breaching U.S. trade laws by importing iPods into the United States. QUOTE(wei @ Jul 7 2006, 05:47 PM) Yes they are, for me. in what way does creative copy anything?you've got it upside down...read the above quote One is another copycat. One is lack of support.  |

But i still think the price is unjustified because they've had no real competition. So competition would be a great thing for everyone because it will drive the prices down.and millions of people cant ALL be wrong (some might just copy others thinking it looks cool,but some might really think it's good ) |

Nah of coz creative is not an ayam brand.come on.in certain aspects their MP3 players are better compared to iPOD.to name one,ZEN Vision's display is better compared to iPOD video.but as all of us are concerened,no other MP3 player in this world can beat iPOD's coolness factor.
P/s:- NO,im not a ipod fan. |
