skyther Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Since we never get any fun around here... "Helppp!! Noo, someone save me!!" Skinning the iPod alive... mwahahaha! Flipping the 2 halves of the box open reveals Steve's message to you... "Enjoy". "Don't steal music", Steve reminds you... buy all your music from iTMS so we can profit more since we sold you the iPod for dirt cheap! :laugh: But wait, there *IS* no iTMS in Australia... :sleep: Anyway, be a good boy and keep those ugly 128Kbps MP3s away from me. Turning the iPod on with the wrap still on... Backlight on, backlight off... A magic trick, a mirrored twin! Everything, including the accessories, are as white as snow, nicely wrapped and packaged in a classy looking package. 2 iPods sitting side by side amongst a garbage landfill. It's nice when some things are designed to give the user a complete satisfying experience, right from even opening the package. Mmmm. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 LOL, you are truly crazy child! Why did you buy another iPod? You said you had the money, but seriously, why not an upgrade for something else? Do you really use them both? :laugh: p.s. sounds like mud portable rig [in your sig]? :rasp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stamp Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 ya, did the otherone die on you? the battery or HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyther Posted July 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 If one died, don't you think I would be scared enough not to buy another and give it praise? Good grief, some people are so negative. There isn't anything else to 'upgrade' for when it already is the best around (for portable fidelity, at least)... I'm expecting Apple to introduce cost cutting measures to the iPod line soon, given the falling prices and rising popularity. I spotted 3 iPod users on a single train ride today, one of them flaunting it in his hand with a white skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 I meant upgrading your other equipments. :rasp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyther Posted July 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Yeah I'll have to order 2 more sets of Silver Lace ICs for the PC1 and the switchbox that I'm currently building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NRen2k5 Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 *Sigh* Skyther, you don't know jack sh*t about features. You should have tried an iHP rather than blowing your money on another iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyther Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I should buy an iHP just to tell you how good it sounds hmm? Then I would be lying to myself by promoting a product that's actually shit. Obviously I've tried iHPs, fool. I even got to keep a friend's one for 2 days. Jumping to conclusions is not smart.

|/|3 Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Man that skytherx guy is generous. He sent me his other iPod. I'll review it when it arrives. In regards to a satisfying experience right from opening the box, I don't regard a reminder in 3 languages to not steal music particularly satisfying. I'm going to put all my stolen tunes on it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NRen2k5 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Wow, so you tested several products and chose the inferior one. Way to go, champ. Where's your iPod's mic and remote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Chill out. If the tone of this thread doesn't calm down I will lock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|/|3 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Where's the remote? Unlike MD players, you don't need a remote to use the unit in all it's splendor. You don't have to mess around with these remotes which break after less than 6 months. Where's the mic? Tell me, somebody tell me, please tell me... where's the mic in on an R500? Who needs a line in when you can record at 11MB/s from a computer. It's fairly obvious to everyone but the stupid (you) that we chose iPods knowing we weren't going to do any recording. Here's the criteria, chump: -Easy to transfer tunes to and from device. -No restrictions (Notice, this rules out Hi-MD) -Small (I owned an E10 and played with it next to an iPod, the difference really is scant unless you're pedantic) -Enough battery life for a day or two of light listening -Warranty that's valid in this country Sorry for being inflammatory, but I didn't think it really needed to be beaten home as much as it did.

|/|3 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 In other news, the iPod mini is now available in Australia for AU$399, and in NZ for NZ$489. 4GB and only a little smaller/lighter than the regular iPod? Get stuffed. But you know it's going to be popular. I bet they're sold out already and it's only been available about 12 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|/|3 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Here's something I have to say about the iPod. Battery life is shorter than i'm used to. Froze twice. Here's something else I have to say about the iPod: It sounds fantastic. The bassless comments come from the iPod earbuds. By the way, those earbuds gave me a swollen ear for a week. I don't believe it. I'm never letting them get anywhere near my ears again. It syncs most everything. Like the clock. My ipod is synced to an atomic clock through my PC. You can use it as a phonebook for your friends, and you can use it as a cheat book for your calculus exam. Interface is seamless. It's like a physical iTunes. It does most everything computer based better than MD. The only problem you'll have is with copy protected CDs. Lately they seem to have been putting the SCMS bit to "copy" so your MD can't copy that digitally though. However you can get an SCMS stripper and send it through to your PC. Then iTunes can deal to it. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
einolu Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 ah, i love you skyther, even if you are a bit short tempered. the ipod rocks, and hating on it just because its popular is retarded. ~EO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyther Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 At least somebody does... :happy: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 You're turning me to the dark side, Skyther. I like that one better than the G4 iPods. I just wish it wasn't white... >.>; And no, I don't want a mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
