Sansa Clip 4Gb

 

They've got the Clip+ now but this one is still great. For $50 (when I bought it, they're $30 now). This takes a beating and keeps going, I've had mine for about 2 years now and no complaints; stock earphones fail though.

My girlfriend's dad bough me one for Christmas. It's in graphite.

 

It has fantastic battery life, it's easy to use and the speed at which you can put songs on to it is great. The only thing I wish I could do is watch movies on it.

8 gb iPod touch... 2nd gen I think. Would love to throw it against the wall, because I hate apple. Don't use it at all, except when I reach my limit on Pandora.

I have an iPod Touch 4g.

I'll stick with my 120GB iPod Classic in black. Not as big a fan of the new Touch or the Nanos with the touchscreen. Give me a click wheel anyday.

Latest gen iPod Classic 160gb. Never had an mp3 player before, so this was my first one. Pretty happy with it so far. I haven't used it with headphones yet or watched any videos on it, the only thing I have done with it is plug it into the aux port in my car. Gets the job done. Just wish they had a bigger one, or that the 500gb Archos was cheaper...

I currently own an 80gb iPod Classic.

 

I've previously owned 2 silver 8gb iPod minis but their battery life died from usage. 1 got replaced free of charge under the extended warranty that I bought.

16GB iPod touch 2nd gen. It's... meh. Jailbroken makes it so much better, but I.. I dunno. I like it, but not too much. I think I would enjoy an iPhone, the phone part just makes it so much more useful..

Changed the OP to clarify how I want this thread to work :wink:

That is all.

[pennywise]

I have an iPhone 3g that i use as my mp3 player. pretty good.

My biggest complaint about it is the battery life. I seem to only get 3-4 hours per charge, even though I've always taken good care of it and not mistreat the battery. Other than the battery life I really like it, especially the touch pad. I might upgrade to a Zune HD, but recently I have not used mine much so I have no reason to upgrade.

Can anyone recommend a good pair of light, comfortable, and durable sneakers? Perhaps something similar to these:

 

 

 

I currently own a pair of Saucony Cohesions:

 

 

I've owned 3 pairs over 3 years because they're like, 9 out of 10 comfortable and make for great running shoes. Though now I think it's time to find sometime with more style. :?

I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation. I want to upgrade to the touch one sometime soon cause this one is only 8gb.

You want to throw a great fully-functional device against a wall because of a pre-held grudge against Apple? :???:

 

I have the same iPod as you and it's awesome, wish it had more capacity though. When I got it I wasn't really into music so much as I was apps and stuff, so I have to update my library a lot.

I admit, I never was an apple fanboy. It meant at most I'd poke fun at mac users, Apple never really did anything to wrong me.

 

I was completely turned off when I learned that a week after I got my iPod OS3 came out, but I had to pay $20 to upgrade it. What the hell, I just got the damn thing and now I have to pay for a software upgrade... one of the *features* was cut and paste... Cut and paste isn't a feature, its expected. It also meant that all the new apps wouldn't be compatible for my iPod, which is complete bull.

 

Luckily they didn't charge for OS4, otherwise I would've been really ticked off and probably actually chucked it against the wall.

[Shiny]

I'm the only person in the upper middle class area where I live to not have an mp3 player. My father is beating me.

[Dupin]

I have a five-year-old iPod Classic (from when they were called "iPod Video") which has literally five minutes of battery life. I never use it. My computer works much better for music.

I wear Asics. Mine are similar to these, but less white. They're quite comfortable and great for running in. I buy a new pair every year for track. They could probably last longer, but not much longer.

Finally changing it to shoes/sandals.

 

I own a pair of white and blue nike running shoes that I bought about two years ago. I can't seem to find them online :-?

I also own a pair of $2.00 walmart beach sandals... funny I can't find those online either. I wear these when the temperature outside is above 45 deg F.

[Racheya]

I have a ridiculous amount of shoes. These are almost all of them:

 

 

There are a few others but they're a bit small so I don't wear them often :D

 

None of those are brand-label shoes. I think the most expensive were probably the black trainers for, I think, £12.

[mcneilp]

I can't say I own a pair of sandals, this being Scotland and all.

As for trainers, at the minute I've got a pair of converse, some Adidas Cieros, blue Adidas Campus and a black and white pair of Etnies Santiagos.

Other shoes I have are two pairs of "dressy" leather shoes, one pair slip on the other with laces which I wear to work, my old work safety boots and a pair of hiking boots.

[Dupin]

Asics running sneakers (the normal kind) - comfortable, durable, efficient. I'll get new shoes if I ever feel the need for something aesthetic.

[Star.]

I don't have many because I don't care too much about shoes:

 

• 
   
  
• White with red trim Adidas running shoes.
  
• Neon type blue Primark plimsolls.
  
• Random white nike trainers that I used to wear years ago but don't wear yet haven't thrown away.
  
• 3 inch gold heels from New Look.
   
  

 

I have other sandal/heels but I've got loads so I'll post a picture rather than try to name them all :P

[The Observer]

Got to buy myself some new running shoes. Have a pair of New Balance shoes that need replacing. :P

[Hawks]

Three pairs of high-top Converse. A pair of Nike 'sportswear' skate shoes, they were on sale at the Nike store because they're guys shoes and they're purple. I have a nice pair of Nike slide sandals, blue, that I got on clearance for $12.
