Getting an mp3 player

[nO-One]

Plastic getting scratched OMG how could this happen.
Apple get\'s flamed for everything yet Creative ships their players INFECTED WITH A FUCKING VIRUS and people let it pass.

Double standards are great aren\'t they.

People are just dissing Apple because they\'re entering the mainstream and alas has to be bad.

Well, I\'m willing to give the Nano a chance.

I just read on Apples nano site that the equalizer settings influence battery life.

I was under the impression that stuff like bass / treble settings on other mp3 players do not influence battery life...... or is that incorrect ?

EQ settings require more processing so more more battery drain.

Well if you change the EQ to drive more bass it takes more power.

I assume you can also increase battery life by not listenening to it at extreme levels.

If it\'s the same material found on my regular ipod then I think it\'s silly for people to complain about scratching plastic.  I have a lil protective sleeve on it, here\'s an example of iskin\'s upcoming nano option:

Bought the fiance an IpoD shuffle for Xmas. It\'s the 512meg model, she doesn\'t need more than that. Only reason I went with the shuffle is because I\'m a cheap bastard... Personally, I have no use for an MP3 player, but she has always wanted one and I support Apple products.

Go OS X..../says this while surfin\' on his XP machine!

apple is gonna make a killing this holiday.  their smaller models are finally cheap enough to be a decent xmas present.  i know my sis is getting a nano because she\'s a spoiled rotten brat

Screw the Nano! It is still to pricey for me...Then again, I am getting a shuffle because of the fact it is the cheapest one and where I work, we can a discount on any Apple product.

I have to admit, the fact you can get free shipping , plus a special phrase / comment laser etched in the side is a sweet aspect of the iPod series.

Bought the nano for kyoko... it rules, and she bought a clear plastic case that actually doesn\'t look bad...

Hah, check out what Creative is doing:

Creative debuts iPod lookalike; Will \'aggressively pursue\' patent



I\'m all for competition but what\'s with sueing companies over a simple navigational patent?  sigh..

That looks like one kickass mp3 player.

On size : Do you really need it to be any smaller than how it really is? Everyone is always bragging about how \'small\' their mp3 player is- who fucking cares anymore- they are no bigger than a pack of gum anyway.l

Then they bitch when they misplace it because it is so small. I\'m getting the Zen Micro because it is the perfect size, not too big, not too small. The size of a flip phone so it will be harder for me to lose.
