Whoaaa thanks for letting me know. Why did I not take a moment to consider that Sandisk may have also released a small clip-on player? I guess Apple dominates the industry that much.

...dude.
sansa clips have been out there for like 6 years. you're after the Sansa Clip+. it must have a + to it, so not the one ltm originally linked to. the original is just 'the memory inside is all you get,' but the + version (which is only about 3 years old) has the microsd card in it too. you can regularly find them on sale. i know i got a 2GB clip+ from newegg not too long ago, new, for either 20 or 30 bucks. trust me, they go on sale a lot. if you were after them in your pocket or something i can see the problem unless you get a third party strap (there's plenty of 'em though) or something, but the clip works pretty well too.

I didn't realize the one I first linked to didn't have the microSD slot!

...the cheaper model I linked to afterwards does, though, oddly enough.

to be fair a lot of people don't use their phones as phones anymore. but this isn't exclusively to apple. hell android's a bigger case of it due to the always existing multitasking ability of it to make it a mini computer and the huge difference in userbase size. that's why plans like virgin's or t-mobile's where they give you good data for few minutes (t-mobile being the best of this - no contract 100 minutes but unlimited texting + unlimited data but only 5GB is at 3G/4G speeds, after that you're down to Edge = $30).

though granted, with Groove IP even that doesn't seem to be necessary to make calls. just good internet and/or good speeds.

If buying music off iTunes counts, then D.
If not, C. Too expensive, and I prefer Windows and Android anyway. I don't hate Apple though, I'm just not particularly attracted to their products.

And I actually own an old Mac, but technically, I didn't buy it. My dad gave it to me when I was a kid when he bought a new computer. It was my first computer, actually. I still prefer Windows.

I had both a Classic (stolen) and a Touch 32GB before I got my Android. I technically still have the Touch, but I left it in my parent's house across the country. I still want to buy another Classic because that thing kicks serious ass. The Touch is **** though.

I'll probably end up buying a MacBook Pro someday as well.

D, I've got a 1 gig ipod shuffle I bought 3 years ago that's still working well. I've had to go through 5 pairs of headphones during that time but that's a separate issue. actually I've never needed more than that 1 gig at any point. I'm never more than a day away from my computer so I just load a playlist and go. 1 gig holds a lot especially if you down convert everything to 256kbps. foobar lets you convert FLAC to whatever bitrate you want pretty easily as you transfer onto the ipod.

I think as a general rule they're overpriced for what you get and compared to their competitors. but occasionally they have something that's a pretty sweet deal like the shuffle and you gotta jump on that. ipod classic seems like a good deal too if you need all that space, though it's a hard drive so I guess more likely to fail. still, a good price for what you get.

I don't think I could ever justify buying one of their computers - they're overpriced vs retail PCs which are overpriced vs building your own PC. unless you really need Final Cut Pro or something, I don't know of any other reason to buy a computer from them at this point.

It seems unlikely that I will ever buy an Apple product but who knows about the future?

Maybe sometime they will actually make something either unique enough that I will pay for it or make something that is actually worth the money you pay. Haven't seen that with any product they have made so far though.

As I said, I don't care much for Apple, either. I agree that their products are overpriced and all, but it seems to me that the iOS gets more software than Android, or at least more attention. At least, I've looked for certain apps "available for iPhone" and I see that they are not offered on Android, and it is rarely the other way around (excluding apps that do stuff specific to iOS/Android, like maintenance apps). It seems to be worse with tablets. But Android apps seem like they can do more, because at least iPhone people tell me that they can't believe my phone will actually put my phone on vibrate at school and respond to texts when I'm driving, etc., from an app.

Really, I think the inferior software selection only applies to Mac. All of this is in terms of the number of applications available, making no assumptions on quality or what they can do.

Why pay like 400 bucks for something when you can get something that's good enough for like 4-5x less.

Good MP3 players are cheap as hell and cellphones aren't too costly either unless you really need something that does a lot of (useless) things.

What confuses me is when people insist on owning both an iPhone and an iPod Touch (not even the iPod Classic with more storage space). Isn't the point of an iPhone to be a smartphone/iPod hybrid? Isn't the point of an iPod Touch to be an iPhone without the phone functionality?

I don't get it.

this isn't about you

if you're curious why people would buy an ipod touch rather than a sansa clip, you don't interject with your opinion on the product and continue to act confused why someone else would use it. crappy games is a dumb argument - there are thousands of games available on iOS, and many of them would probably appeal to you. with an ipod touch you also have access to a number of great apps. you can't use instapaper or epicurious on a $40 mp3 player

your printer is out of ink. you don't know how to use the printer. it's just easier to look it up on an app. there are dozens upon dozens of scenarios in which you wouldn't print out a recipe. you continue to make the mistake of imprinting yourself and your opinions onto others. you lack empathy.

And there are those things called books if you want to read something.


books do not aggregate your rss feed nor do they present that aggregation in a nice, clean manner.

It's all stuff that isn't worth the incredibly steep price Apple ask for their products.


$200+ is not a lot of money to ask for a great mp3 player with an excellent library of games and apps
