Nekro Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Official press release from Apple. Gizmodo first look. U2 version: Photo Version: 40gb is $500 60gb is $600 More stats at the gizmodo article. Note: I said some months ago in the "Ipod appreciation thread" that apple would never come out with an ipod with a color screen that displayed album art. I stand corrected. Nekro- proud flip flopper.

seeking Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 new ibooks are out now too. seeks will be buying himself a new computer next month for xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekro Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 I figure in about 8-9 months the price will drop and the color screens will come standard on all the models. Honestly, I don't see myself scrolling through my high resolution digital photos on a screen the size of a couple postage stamps, so I'll probably wait a while to get one of these. It's only a matter of time before I can watch postage stamp size video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsev Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 well that's just great isnt it.. why cant they just make a product and never improve it so the dumbasses that bought the damn thing too quickly dont feel so stupid when they bring out a better version a few months after you've bought the older version. Bah fuck evolution. just out of intrest what is the battery life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangsta_Lean Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 the new iPods are hot but i wouldnt suggest buying one till we see how they work out for all those people that have the disposable income that just "have to have the newest thing out." my sister bought the iPod mini the day it came out and she had to return it for new ones 4 times, they just everntually gave her a new 20 gig for free. meanwhile i buy my 40gig off a booster in NYC for $250 bucks right before the last one came out and i havent yet had a problem.

PUMPKIN ESCOBAR Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Damn 600 bucks. I know a couple people with iPods. I doubt I'll ever get one unless that shit drops to like 150 for the 15 gig. I don't have to time or patience to upload all my shit on them. I still roll with a walkman and a few CDs in my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Word, I doubt I will purchase one of the photo jobbies, the only use i can see is if you need to dump your flix from your digi while on the road. Nice tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatita Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Dude.... why do people say things like "3rd generation" "1st generation" ipod ? I understand what it means, but its just flat ridiculous. That shit drives me nuts. And also, why do people use the headphones that ipods come with? They are horrible.

Nekro Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 They wear the headphones to look cool. Even the $40 in ear jobs are crappy. People say "1st generation" because it's quicker than saying "the one with the ball bearing scroll wheel and the buttons you actually have to press." Onesecondplease: they're pretty sweet, but I don't see these uber expensive photo ones being worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyhoodrat Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 the color on the U2 one isn't awful awful i guess but i think the back has their autogrpahs printed on it... and i wouldn't be able to get down. i guess because i'm a snobby asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
