well..here goes something else im gonna be saving for this yr/next. thing is tight

Are you going to buy the iPhone or the iPod? I might get a new iPod, only because mine is fucking up.


[quote:824b1]Jobs also announced a deal with Starbucks. When you enter a Starbucks with your iPod touch or iPhone, a Starbucks button pops up that gives you the option to buy music from the featured artist via the wireless connectivity.[/quote:824b1]

Great.....

Wow very innovative, just take the iPhone, take the phone out of it and you have an iPod...way to go Jobs, you fucking twat.

[quote:2f143]IPod Touch will be available by month's end in an eight-gigabyte model priced at 299 dollars and a 16-gigabyte model priced at 399 dollars. The devices are essentially iPhones without the mobile phone capabilities.[/quote:2f143]

Those prices are out of fucking control, that is ridiculous.

getting the ipod snipey. never saw the need to combine music and phone capabilities. But music and internet is whats up

The only back draw about the new iPod is that the screen is glass, which makes it easy to break...but hey it wont scratch! If I can check my e-mail and listen to music on a hand held piece of machinery...life would be good.

yeah my current ipod has been dropped several times and is broken...for good. So im willing to take the chances w/ a warranty this time around of course.

Oh believe me the apple afficianado's will be singing his praises like its something new and innovative. Doesn't matter what apple do its always innovative and never been done before. Know why? Cause they stick "I" in front of everything. eek:



As for the prices, thats the usual apple premium you pay for something that should cost half of what it does.

iMacintosh ftw

you're fucking retarded. music and the internet? you mean being able to download songs from starbucks? awesome, i can't wait to hear that hippie trash. let me tell you what you would be listening to, paul mcartney and "chillout tunes vol. 32 1/2". not to mention i'm sure you gotta pay for 3 quarters of the shit you download.

fuck the new ipod. it was once an awesome mp3 player but now it's just shit. so many extra features that no one really gives a shit about yet they are shoved into your face. ooooo, i can use wifi to browse "what's hot", yeah can't wait for that oOo: . the touch screen is a novelty item that will wear off and become an annoyance. prices are bullshit also.

calmdown:

quit spending your money on stupid shit

its not your average window glass... that wouldnt make much sense. its optical quality, same as in eyeglasses. i have literally stomped on my old lenses without them breaking. if you manage to break the iphones glass, you have surely fucked it up worse on the inside.

Whats gay is the iPhone cannot be used with Verizon Wireless, AT&T is such a shit company its amazing how they got the rights to it. T-Mobile is no better, there Customer service is top notch, their cell service is terrible unless you live in major cities.

the price is ridiculous.


wouldnt want that as a phone as id trash it in 5 seconds with the heavy drinking nights.

my solid sony k750i and my zune do there jobs respectively.

I took my LG enV and taped my iPod to it...i have an iPhone now.

I would buy the ipod touch if they put a hd in it. 16 gigs to hold music and movies? my music library alone is 20 gigs.

my dad fucking owns.[quote:ff4e1]This iPod is for girls that want a few tunes to listen too. Serious listeners require big GIG's or a butler that can load just what you want to listen to each day on your little touch screen widget. When you get down to it, the touch screen is just an effect. I don't have a problem scrolling if I can get the juice.

Now the Nano Phone makes some sense. I really don't want movies, iTunes, etc on my phone. Unfortunately, I do want web browser and e-mail.

Apple is really getting into the special effects and gimmicks. It will probably serve them well. THey will see millions to the same people that watch Friends reruns and follow Paris Hilton and Britney around. Now if they could add a direct touch screen pipeline to GOD they could get all the people that voted for Bush. That's 51% of the population. Just come up with a Magic 8 Ball kind of deal but with special effects they would believe Apple had a broadband connection to JeeBez himself! They need me on their team.

When they get a phone that lets you make calls on all bands, browse the Internet and get e-mail for a reasonable price I am in. All this other stuff is just a journey to the real product and I don't need to take the trip.[/quote:ff4e1]

oOo:

So the HD based ones arent touch screen? lol

ROFL! wow

I have an enV as well

wow now everyone that bought an iphone after august 22nd is getting $100 to the apple store oOo: help pay for those battery replacements.

yep

steve jobs "apoligizes" for price cut oOo: oOo:

its not like the all had guns to their heads and HAD to buy it the 1st day.

if it has to be AT & T...i don't know...like...here we got rogers and bell...like....how doe sthis shit work then. is this shit only for the states?

it can be used in canada if it is hacked, as far as I know. Of course that requires the user to have the intelligence to install the hack, pretty much excluding you.
