I remember when the iPod was just a MP3 player. You could usually buy the equivalent from a no-name brand for like $30 when you had to pay $300 for an iPod. Basically, you often pay only for the name.

Yeah. I have a 1 gig shuffle and its supposed to hold 240 songs, and it costed $80. My brother has an mp3 player that was $20, its 1 gig and holds 500 songs, has a screen, equalizers, voice recording, FM radio, and folder support. Needless to say, i wasted my money.

The only reason I would by an iPod is so I can use the apps. Otherwise, I'd get a sansa or whatever.

How does a player with the same storage capacity as another holds half less songs than the other, though? Does iPod uses a special compression format that is less efficient, or is it filled with software crap?

Wow. And still, it's by far the most successful MP3 player in the world.

I loled so hard when I saw this. At first it looked like they could link together side-by-side. That would be pretty cool.

sigh... no matter how good they might claim to be... they are still just kinda crappy...

though i have to admit that their quality is pretty good...
an ipod lasts for decades!!!

i dont own an ipod though... never wanted to waste that much money...
instead i own a philips gogear...
it quite nice!
looks better and works better than an ipod too, and waaayyyy cheaper...
here is a pic:

This looks nice. I think I just got some weird cheap $20 2 GB mp3 player I forgot the brand of. I got it at Future Shop a while ago. It's slow to browse, though x.x

yeah... before this one i had a cheap brand mp3 player as well... it was a coby if i remember correctly...
i had a kind of wired touch pad that is quite unresponsive... thus it is quite slow to browse too...

perhaps unresponsive is not the right word... i mean it reads your finger and everything... but after a click, there's like a slight delay until you can press any of the buttons again... quite odd i would say...

oh yeah... and something else an ipod can o better than my philips is that it can play games...
but then the fact that it allows you to copy files in like a flash drive makes it even...

OH RIGHT! Coby. That's waht I got. Also I often accidentally turned it off in the bus when coming back from hockey games x.x. And yeah that delay thing is what I mean.

Honestly that new "Nano" looks like a glorified Shuffle.

As for the storage thing, I haven't ever heard of MP3 players using compression to hold things ??? They should hold the same amount of data as far as I'm concerned, not necessarily the same amount of songs though.

The battery? Probably, though you'd have to order a new battery or something and do it yourself, which you could turn out doing something wrong (though I don't know if you can actually replace the battery). Other than that though you would have to send it in to get repaired, if they even repair that without charging you a lot of money.
