You bumped this back up to say "rofl"? Are you that idiotic? Wow great post A+++++ Well worth reading. Idiot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

look at his name, he is like a baby outside of runescape general. instead of kicking him across the floor, try to help him take his first steps[/end my sentimental crap or whatever it was]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

seriously, "rofl?" and two smilies to surround it? did you even attempt to think before you posted? is this how they act in general still? glad i quit rs a while ago...

iPod Video. What next, iPod iNet?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, iPods are too expensive and do too much. I'm a proud anti-apple microsoft fan. I've also got a 5GB Dell Pocket DJ and love it, getting one for $190.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

iPods are becoming a fad.

Becoming? They only control 50% of the market? Ipod are the best looking (simplicity > *) and best controls with the wheel. Most people like me don't really give a damn about if something has 5% better sound quality. Ipod made the market and that's why it controls it.

The iPod video is pretty sweet from what I've seen of it, but the things that bother me about it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-2 hour battery life

 

 

 

-Have to convert movies

 

 

 

-The clickwheel, which I never liked, now lost the raised button

 

 

 

-They freeze up sometimes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And, I was looking at this, and it's theoretically better than the iPod, but it's way thicker and apparently has an issue audio quality, so that's sunk until they fix it. So I'm torn right now between the iPod and Zen Vision for my next MP3 player.

^ I was looking at that. I have an iPod video, the battery life does suck, converting videos isn't so much a problem unless with wmv, with the Zen vision reads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haven't had any audio problems with Zens before, will have to look into that.

The iPod video is amazing.

 

 

 

They sold 14 million over the Holiday.

 

 

 

C'mon weezcake, try me. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Zin has a horrible scroll.

 

 

 

Ugh I cannot stand it.

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

That post corresponds to my opinions on runescape players and tip.it general rs community :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back on topic: I have a black iPod nano, and I love totally it, not like I dance while listening to it at the street...

 

 

 

And come on, what can be more nice looking than a BLACK iPod???

 

 

 

It's that what holds people's minds and wallets on iPods, their design is perfect, it's one of the most beautiful objects ever *mass*-produced by man, and it aswell has a function, it gives me nice music where ever I am! It's not like a sculpture that is there just for looks :P

Apinagez: A black iPod Nano which plays video :D

Yeah I've seen that :P

 

 

 

The only problem is that it won't accept compressed videos, then it's like 2Gbs per hour of video :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I still find it kinda crazy to run linux in a mp3 player, whats the original OS that comes with iPod?

I think 2,5" is too small for videos, imagine 1,5" :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's actually really awesome.

 

 

 

You don't notice it to tell you the truth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've read it's the same resolution as a normal TV :shock:

 

 

 

You play videos on nano? I really wanna find out more about that.

Just FYI, I ordered my Zen Vision:M and it's coming tomorrow (hopefully). I'll go over to my friend's house and try to get some photos of side-by-side comparisons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also realized something - if you carry around the dongle with you for video with the Vision:M, you can just load all of your DVDs onto it, in full resolution, and output them at full resolution to a TV. Figure in about 2GB per DVD, and that's maybe 10 movies plus 10 GB of music...sweetness! All my favorite films with me wherever I go, plus my music...
