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

[snipeymagoo]

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.

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.

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.

How is the price out of control? It's a flash player with a touch screen. If you dont want the flash player or a touch screen, pay 50 dollars less for the HDD based version which gives you 80/160Gigs respectively.

I personally wouldn't mind an iPod with the ability to double as a gimped PDA in case I want to dick around in class or to kill time in an airport or whereever else I can wirelessly connect.

The iPod Touch is for those folks who have been clamoring for a full on touchscreen iPod for years, and for those who wanted a flash based player instead of a HDD based one.

If you like HDD - fine, you still have the option to buy that and JOB's hasn't phased it out.

Really the only people who should be pissed are those who bought an iPhone 15 days ago. I'm personally probably gonna snag a 4Gig iPhone to replace my current phone once iPhoneSIMfree has a working list of its bulk resellers.

Oh and yea, the internet ability of the touch isn't great. You can't wirelessly access iTunes so that whole usefullness is pretty much nonexistant.

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.

[TGB!]

I'm sure a majority of it has to deal with the network that APPLE wanted to use. With the SIM-Unlock service being offered, I'm sure its a matter of time before DIY SIM-Unlock kits are out there for end-user purchase; sadly that means you still will only be able to use it on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US, but for many that's enough. T-Mobile's prepair service is infinitely better than AT&T so once some lucky guy gets ahold of the unlock software, I'll be grabbing an affordable iPhone to use on T's service.
