iPod shuffle killer

Matt555 · 19-09-2005, 04:33 PM

it was a whole page in Stuff magasine with about 1/3 of it writing and the bottom half taken up with a large picture of the player...showing it next to its headphones really does put it into perspective...(i'll take a picture if my webcam works...)
okay it said (typing it up as cant find anything on the net):

You, you do, don't you? This whether you chose to believe it or not, is actually an MP3 player. Forget you clunky iPod 'Minis' and Zen 'Micros', this is truly trouserable and can even be worn comfortably around your neck, if you really must.
Super! That looks like a nice screen though
I don't like your tone. Its a very nice screen. It's an OLED affair, which means it has a wider viewing angle than LCD and is also self-luminous, so you don't need a bettery sapping backlight. All in you have the perfect screen for a tiny player like this and you get a 15-hour battery life as a result.
Tiny? Meaning you can store three song on it?
Actually, this has a rather generous 1GB of memory meaning you can slot, ooh, around 250 tracks on it. it supports both WMA and MP3 too so if you believe the claims that WMA at 64Kbps is 'CD Quality', you can slot about twice as many tracks in. You'd like that wouldn't you tone-deaf boy.
You can cut that out, for a start. What about those controls then? Someone's been taking lessons from a certain Mr Ive...
Since Apple got pretty close to perfection with its clickwheel, you can't knock people for 'borrowing' it. A device this small needs a slick interface and this is just the job. Since it doesn't actually scroll it's not 'lifeted' either.

that's an extremely cool looking little player there, i agree, i think the shuffle is a waste of time, i held an ipod nano the other day, its so thin, its unbelievable, the ipod killer is ... another ipod

heh

KenshinX · 25-09-2005, 07:15 PM

yeah the nano is the only ipod cool with me but thats just my opinion the reason i really put down the ipod is because of all the undeserving hipe is put behind it theres a lot more players out there thats just as good and cheaper in some cases

my main pic since i kno not everyyone wants a device that does everything some ppl jus want a music player but for me my Clie is jus find since im on the go i like to do more than jus listen to music and if im exercising or training for cross country ill stick with a small mp3 flash based player

i really dont listen nor need 10,000 songs with me more like 1000 or less fit the bill so my 2gig cf and 2 gig ms pro is fine with me and does me well but hey like i was saying the Nano is the coolest ipod ive seen because of its form factor but price wise that mobiblu fits my bill

KenshinX · 25-09-2005, 07:17 PM

i also like the fact that i can control any tv vcr or dvd player in school play movie in hi quality listen to music play NES games and etc

Matt555 · 25-09-2005, 07:20 PM

heh awesome, yeah the ipods are no longer really impressive, that mobiblu thing is just amazing though, if i needed a new mp3 player i would get that, because its so different and small

KenshinX · 25-09-2005, 07:23 PM

actually i think i will get the 256mb version for runnin cause my usb flash mp3 player has been broken for a while and u kno i wont be funnin with my palm its my baby
