Must... Buy... Apple..... Ipod.

[K]

I don't understand it, I never wanted one before, but all of a sudden I realise I NEED one. I can't explain it.

On a completely unrelated note, what did everyone think of Blade Trinity?

[apsham]

I believe i'll be getting an iPod for Xmas or something of the sort, my father was talking about getting me one with an absolutely humongous drive, so either way i'll be happy.

It could because my portable CD player has finally broke.

Hard drive based mp3 players rock. Once you've got one, you won't be able to live without it.

[Numbahs]

I'm the exact same way....and Blade: Trinity is bad.

[caucasianheat]

My friend bought an iPod two weeks ago, and I'm alive with jealousy. I need one to live.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm trying to justify ways to blow such a big chunk of my paycheck on something so frivolous. And while it's tough to find an excuse, I just really want one. I guess I'm tired of not having music on demand; when I'm away from my computer, I always find myself wanting to listen to songs I don't have burned to CD. I see myself breaking down and buying one within a month and a half.

Exactly the same here. An Ipod costs half of a months pay, but I do really want one, but I dunno if I wanna blow that much money on it.

Meh.

Rio Karma's are:

- Cheaper

- Fit in a shirt pocket, as opposed to a very big trouser pocket

- Have vastly superior battery life

- Look sexier

- Haven't got that fucking lame Apple Wheel shit. Replaced it with an interface you can actually use.

- Plays back more file types (ok, so one more, and one you've probably never heard of at that, but still )

- Has a cool docking station, with Ethernet port, USB port (also a USB port on the player) and speaker ports, plus it lights up and looks pretty ()

- Rio DJ, has loads of pre-set ways to play back stuff (like; random playlist, newest additions, oldest additions, by genre/year/artist/album/etc, most listened to, least listened to, etc etc etc.)

In fact, pretty much the only bad thing about it is the fact that you have to use the supplied software (which is actually really good, compared to others I could mention (can't fault iTunes either though, tbh)), it doesn't act as a seperate drive that you can add stuff too. Also, you can only store non-music files on the rio if you install Rio Taxi, and that needs to be installed on the destination computer too, which kinda sucks.

But yeah, Rio > iPod.

I have two.

*Runs away

[oldskool]

I'll be getting mine delivered to me on Tuesday.

10GB, 3rd Generation, I paid.....$120 or so.

Well, $150 total, including the extras. That's what I get for buying on eBay...

[apsham]

What's the most amount of GB or MB in one of these players?

[thuganomic]

40 GB for iPods

[Cactus Drags]

I don't see why it seems to be cool to bash ipod these days, I know there's alternatives, but I'm perfectly happy with mine. It's tiny, you don't need big trouser pockets for it, Reilly

I enjoyed Blade Trinity, Ryan Reynolds was excellent in it.

I'm not bashing iPods I'm just saying, Karma's own iPods. Why have second best if you're only just about to buy one?

Oh, and PVP's (portable video players) suck. Who the hell would want to watch anything on a screen that small? More to the point, WHEN will anyone ever watch anything on a screen that small? At the bus stop? :| Yeah, because that'd be worth it...watch ten minuts of the movie each day

I'm witcha IWC

I all of a sudden just felt like it was the only thing I wanted

Maybe Apple poisoned our water supply

And about BLADE: Trinity

Triple H slept with the director and made his part bigger which made the movie really, REALLY bad

[Cactus Drags]

I really didn't mind Triple H, wasn't great or anything, but didn't really detract form the movie much.

Speaking of Blade Trinity, is there a list of the music used anywhere? The soundtrack CD seems to be all rap, and I'm after some of the more technoey stuff. I tried imdb.com, but there's nothing there yet.

[Guest fultie]

Somebody tell me why an Ipod is better than Reilly Karma, stat!

I just want to see which one really is better is all..
