iPods not wanted at MS

[hismajesty]

As we can obviously tell, since Microsoft executives are getting mad that iPods are a growing trend on campus.

Hahahaha.

I'm waiting for them to come out with some crazy MP3 player that uses their software, which will cost $$$.

They frown on everything that doesnt have a big Microsoft Sticker on the side.

Wouldn't you too?  (If you were in the same situation [owning millions of dollars worth of MS stock])

iPods are gay. They are overpriced just like every other mac product. Nomads are just as good for a lower price.

You sir, obviously don't own an iPod. Their expensive, yes. How big is your MP3 player? 64MB? 128MB? Mine is 30GB. Does your MP3 player have a color screen? No. Haha, mine does.

Also, did you know that the company you refer to as Mac didn't even make Macintosh computers until about 20 years after they started making computers? -.-. Flaming liberals..\

Hey, gimme some dope.

Mac Mini isn't over priced, nor is the iPod Shuffle. I'd rather spend a few extra dollars and know I'm getting a quality product that looks nice, is easy to use, and does just as much as most other players and possibly more. The arguments against iPods are dumb.

"240 song refers to 1GB model. $99 refers to 512 MB model (up to 120 songs)." - http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/

You've gotta appreciate the fine print. 

So apparently it's not worth it.  I don't own an MP3 player, but I find that they are a waste of money in general.  Almost everyone I know that has one either ended up breaking it or they ended up buying another one.  I stick with old fashion CDs / CD-Players.

[hismajesty]

What fine print are you talking about? I thought it was common knowledge that the 512mb one is $99.

There are tons of non-specific mp3 radio transmitters.

Search newegg for "mp3 fm transmitter".

iPod is way sexier though. iPod wouldn't control the larger part of the market if it wasn't a good product, even if most of the sales were from people jumping on the bandwagon. I wanted the iPod simply because I liked the way it looked, but I'm superficial and stuff when it comes to electronics anyway.
