Ipod Nano - replaces the ipod mini

[Stephen]

Well regardless of whether it wipes your ass/stimulates your prostate/automatically videos all your favourite programs without the adverts in, I don't give a shit. I am so sick of how the Apple/iPod brand has become synomymous with 'cool' in the eyes of marketing men all over this land. I browse through a magazine and the lead picture to an article has a girl sat in a restaurant with an iPod on the table. The iPod is nothing to do with anything, the article is about eating disorders. iPods are 'cool' though… There's that new fucking BMW with a built-in 'iPod Connection'. What exactly is that? Is it really just a small stereo jack coming from the stereo? Still, someone is paying someone else so that it can be implicitly called an 'iPod Connection'. Probably BMW to Apple so that they too can look 'cool'. I'm also sick of the number of people I've come across who want one of these things so they can look 'cool'. Seriously, I've actually met people who want one to be seen with on the beach. No fucking mention of listening to music on it. No fucking clue what it's actually for in some cases, I'm sure.

Apple and it's iPod brand can suck my cock/balls/arse.

its just a rebranding of the same brand, Playstation did it with the PS2...they just shrink thinkgs down as technology improves - i don;t see what the big complaint is...

now if you don't have an mp3 player and want a small one to fit in yer pocket buy this, but check out what else is on the market too...

remember it'll only hold 500-1000 songs...if you want more gb, buy a bigger model or different brand...

i-pod's are the 'sony walkman' of the 21st century...so what if it's fashion item...everything is designed to look good, and if it plays music well then mores the better...

image is totally important to brands, the more people apple have wearing the white headphones the better for them...its not doing them any harm...

conform or don't...its up to you...no-ones forcing anyone to buy anything...

I also know a guy who wants an ipod just to be popular...and he is a dick!
But I wouldn't mind having one.

seems like you're projecting your anger towards a product, when it's really the hipsters/trendy/wanna be cool crowd that gets your panties in a bunch.

i think the marketing got to the crowd first, koe.
crowds usually dont know what to do until marketing sells it to them.

and then it becomes the annoying phenomena stephen pointed out.

i dont care personally. if i had one i'd use it for what it was meant, MUSIC, and just be glad i dont have to deal with the worst portable CD player in the universe that's 7 years old.

...

hey, i'm poor. as long as it plays my CD 1 out of 10 times i'm not blowing $200 on hard drive stored in a diaphragm box.

i think it looks cool. i bought my ipod because it looked cool, holding felt cool, navigating through was cool, the shiny back was cool. i didn't look cool w/ it but that was cool with me. i've look for other mp3 player but playing around w/ it doesn't give the same feel as the ipod i have now.

now lets talk about those dorks w/ stock white ipod earphones and tacky protective skins.
