In the process, they've made their "smaller-with-screen" model have less space for the same money. :rolleyes:

I do like the white and the color screen, though.

iPods are overrated

[MarathoN]

So is a lot of stuff... :rolleyes:

So what?

[noob]

linux is over rated at times.

[MarathoN]

So what?

Exactly, just because it's "overrated" doesn't mean we shouldn't use it.  :p

The fact that some or alot of other things are also over-rated doesn't mean that the iPod isn't over-rated, or that it's less over-rated.

(I wouldn't have said anything only for that ":rolleyes:" smiley.)


And yea, linux sometimes is over-rated.
The Hurd on l4 or even gnumach would kick it's anus anyday!

That's why I put it in quotes, because I'm suggesting that it isn't.

They should be making them bigger, and put better batteries in.  You're lucky if you get 8 hours off a charge when the unit is brand new - and it only decreases from there.  I could give a fuck about size - smaller does not mean better.  Actually, the practicality of the click-wheel as related to size is probably parabolic, with the standard-size iPod being the apex.  This is nothing more than a toy for the curiously wealthy.

[Jack2000]

I want it to be the size of a ghetobuster

here they are very common as big as your dog you can swing them around bash people
and they still work and can be placed on your shoulder while sk8-ing away with
your fav board

I believe that the correct term for the giant 80s radio is 'ghettoblaster'.  A small lesson in English slang from worker201.

[MarathoN]

We love the ghettoblaster.

My Mini is rated at 18 hours, and in real life it lasts 12 or so, sometimes more.  And that's with Apple's battery - NewerTech sells a battery with 50% more capacity.

The Nano is rated at 14 hours, and with flash memory, it should be easy to get that much consistently.  That's certainly better than it was with the 3G iPod, which was *rated* at 8 hours.
