Well no flash no multitasking...

Fuck that bullcrap.
Looks nice. But unless they get their head out of their asses I am not going to look twice at this product.

I am not a big apple fan, and I think this new product looks stupid.

But the iPod actually stands up very nicely against its competitors. I was reluctant to buy one but it was really the best choice. I have a VERY large musical appetite and a HUGE mp3 library to match it. I really love being able to have it all in my pocket at once. I tested several mp3 players before getting my iPod, and the ones that were actually large enough (not many) didn't have very good sound reproduction. The iPod won in my tests, I had no choice but to buy one despite my Apple hate.

And the newest generation is like just over $200 for a 160GB mp3 player. Show me something that beats that and has decent sounds reproduction, and I'll be a happy man. The day I got my iPod (about 5 years old now and still running on original battery) is the day I stopped carrying CD's in my car, or really, anywhere. I'm replacing it soon with the new 160GB one (which is actually too small for my entire music library, believe it or not). I really wanted to try the Archos players, but they are getting a lot of bad reviews about locking up a lot.

stupid considering the battery life problems they have with the iphone/ipod already.

which is maybe the reason why muliti taking is not really supported, more cpu cycles is moe energy.

i wont ever look at anything apple does untill the fix the battery problem with thier products.

what good is all that shinny stuff, if you cant use it unplugged.

Yes and someone commented the 64 GB version is the Maxi-ipad

This may not be an impressive product, but it will sell like someone just invented sliced bread. The ebook reader market will be one they are going to effect. You can have for about $300 a kindle or nook and do nothing but read a book. For $199 more, you now have increased capabilities with the ipad at home (apps, multimedia, surfing, etc). The Oprah market will eat this one up.

Or buy a kindle for book reading, and buy a $199 ipod touch for when you need mini computing. 2 for one, and each does its job cheaper and better than the tweener. :P

why not just read the damn book on your laptop?

and who the hell reads books anyway?

this thing is a ridiculous toy. nothing more. a waste of time and money. Will it be profitable.....sure. Doom III was profitable, I'm sure. Doesn't mean it wasn't just some tech demo pile of junk thrown together by people who used to be the gods of industry and innovation.

Such disappointment.
