How do you guys feel about the iPhone and the new iPods?

I don't understand the point of having an iTouch if it's exactly an iPhone without a phone. And the colors for the new iPod shuffle and the iPod nano are hideous! I wonder why Steve Jobs changed the color scheme from neon to pastel. I'm not so sure if green, or periwinkle purple (or whatever) would sell. I'm happy with the neon green iPod nano, which I bought for my last birthday. I have no plans to buy the iTouch or the iPhone. I respect Apple for making computers, though. I got myself a white MacBook a few days ago. Way better than the IBM.

Also, have any of you received an iPhone discount from Steve Jobs (after customers complained)?

i'd like to have the i-touch,it looks great, but it doesn't have enough memory capacity

both devices are for trendy cuntbags and there are much better (and cheaper) technologies currently on the market.

First of all, everyone is entitled to his/her own preference! You are not required to have or buy one. If you don't like the iTouch or iPhone, then don't buy it.

Then, if you find the new colors of iPod Nano hideous, then so be it your opinion. You have to understand, corporations spend much on research and development, and is continuously getting and looking for feedback and complains from its customers and markets to make their products better. Before they make a decision, they ask people. So, will the green or periwinkle purple would sell? Probably yes. Probably, these are few of the colors that their R&D found out that would sell because people have their own preferences.

You have to remember that mobile phones and pagers used to be either black or gray only. But then, people wanted it colored, so they came out interchangeable covers/housings.

So that is the point that you don't understand. Duh!

Indeed*!*

And of course it only works in certain parts of the USA, nowhere else.

(well SOME of it's functions do, but it uses a silly protocol that only AT+T support AND they're the only company big enough to offer a decent tarriff to cope with it's huge data volumes even if other providers supported the protocol[1])

[1] I never get the way the US can built space shuttles yet be so technically backward in so many fields.....Eg....US cars use a suspension system that was abandoned in Europe before cars even existed, it was used mainly on ox carts.

Yes , the starving in Africa are quite fussy over the colour too

Er, I listen to music in the car and at home too.

But on the iPod.

Just plug it into yer stereo!

I still don't get why my car (2007 brand new model due to the fact my old one was stolen) didn't have something to plug it in.

So I got the FM transmitter from Belkin.

Great, but almost every damned frequency in Montreal is taken... so you never have perfect reception... :(

But indeed, the iPod is the perfect thing for music in a car... just wished there was an easier way to navigate through the albums, I mean, it's pretty long to skip to "N" when you have 5000 tunes on it.

Would you say the FM thing is better than the old magnetic inducers you used to get to plug CD's in to the tape player (though I suspect your car will have a CD not a tape if it's new)

I'm one of those trendy cuntbags who's excited the 120 G ipod classic will now only cost $250

I don't have an iPod too, and I have no plans of getting one either. But of course, I won't bother if someone will give me one.

I carry 3 mobile phones (from 3 different networks): 1 Nokia Communicator, 1 mini-PC phone with stylus, and 1 'smaller' music phone with a 1GB SD card, the last one is my music phone. I'm still thinking if I'm gonna get a N91 8GB to replace my music phone, but then, I will have 3 big mobile phones that I bring all the time. That is why I don't have an iPod. Anyway, I don't mind changing the tracks of my 1GB SD card 2-3 times a week. At least, I have a new playlist from time-to-time.

Indeed*!*

This is my favorite phone in terms of design: I still have my Nokia 8110i, the 'banana phone' or 'matrix phone,' with 4 batteries, extra housing, desktop charger, and wall charger. I have no plans of selling it.

Indeed*!*

I have 8,000 songs on my Ipod and still have 20 gigs of space left!! The only changes I made were I got a pair of noise canceling headphones (hate ear buds) and found a unit for $30 (usually over $100) to plug my 'pod into my home stereo.

The Iphone is a decent PDA crappy phone. The AT & T network is a farce. I have a Motorola RAZR and am fine with it.

Though would my USA bound phone work if I went to Europe?
