Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted November 13, 2004 I'd blow you for an iPod. That would be a win-win for you. I don't see how I'd benefit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Yay, I guess. I don't get out of the house much so I've used it more as a portable hard drive between machines, but there have been long waits in doctor's offices and car trips where it's useful. Also, portable audiobooks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted November 13, 2004 What about the fact that the battery only chrages 500 times before frying? Doesn't that leave you without a useful machine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2004 What about the fact that the battery only chrages 500 times before frying? Doesn't that leave you without a useful machine? Myth. http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/showthrea...?threadid=19556 Basically, that 500 is only if you ran it from fully charged to fully empty every single time with no in-between. NiCad batteries (used in a lot of other devices) are built in mind that you're sometimes charging when the battery isn't completely drained and sometimes you don't charge all the way. They'll last longer than you think because you don't constantly charge from 0% to 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tominator89 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 My take on this topic: If I were to receive an iPOD as a gift, then great. If not, I'd NEVER pay for one with my own money. Portable MP3 players are very convenient, however, the iPOD is simply a trendy little toy. For anyone who is seriously interested in an MP3 player, I'd recommend researching rival brandnames. The iPOD is all about name recognition; they are terribly overpriced. Granted, I know a few people who love their iPOD, but I'm always quick to remind them how much they could have saved by buying, say, a Creative Labs model. Just my opinion.

EricMM 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Like previously mentioned: They're cute, yay. They're overpriced, nay. Their batteries are shitty, nay. Therefore: If someone gave me one, I'd use it. If I had to buy an MP3 player, I wouldn't be getting an iPOD. I've got a Creative Nomad, and it's great, for probably less than 200 dollars now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alro 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Can you get an adapter to play your IPODs through your car system? Yes. There are two types. 1) The cassette adapter with the 1/8 inch plug that goes in the headphone jack. 2) A low power radio transmitter that allows you to listen on a radio frequency. I use the cassette adapter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
