Did u see their new ipod shuffle? It holds a whopping 12 hours of battery with the most limited features of any MP3 player. Its quite impressive!

It's also the number one seller on amazon.com

From "As The Apple Turns"

]So yeah, we're looking at a product backlog approaching miniPodesque proportions, but the good news is that people are still ordering the bejeezus out of the lil' buddies. Consider sales at Amazon.com, for instance; faithful viewer Bill Palmer (yes, that Bill Palmer) notes over at iPodGarage that the iPod shuffle currently heads Amazon's list of the top "Early Adopter" electronics products, which is updated daily and "based entirely on purchase patterns." The 1 GB iPod shuffle is nestled snugly in first place (and has been for at least a couple of days), while the 512 MB iPod shuffle is perched in the Number Two spot. Not too shabby, especially since no other MP3 player even managed to crack the top ten.


However, it gets even better. Bill leaves out a few interesting details-- such as the fact that while Apple's two iPod shuffles are numbers 1 and 2 on the list, the iPod shuffle Sport Case is number 3. And the iPod shuffle Armband is number 5. Oh, and hey, lookee here; what's this at number 6? Why, it's the iPod shuffle Dock Connector. Yes, kiddies, fully half of the top ten (and better yet, five of the top six) "Early Adopters" electronics products at Amazon are iPod shuffles or other Apple products directly related to them.


Meanwhile, the only non-Apple players to crack the top twenty are Creative's 512 MB MuVo TX FM and MuVo Slim 512 MB Silver, which show up at numbers 11 and 19, respectively. Gee, wasn't the CEO of Creative the one who recently told Channel NewsAsia that the iPod shuffle was "a big let-down" because it's "five generations older" than Creative's offerings and that "the whole industry will just laugh at it" because it's a "four-year-old product"? And didn't he say that the iPod shuffle is therefore "a non-starter to begin with"? Because it's funny, but based on Amazon's Early Adopter rankings, we're getting the distinct sense that the shufflePod isn't just starting, but starting strong-- and way stronger than Creative's own offerings, despite the fact that Creative's players are available right now, while the shufflePods are labeled "in stock soon" and "order now to get in line."


Frankly, we can't wait to hear how Creative-Dude is going to spin things when the first quarterly sales numbers are released. Backpedaling? "What I meant to say was..."? Demands for a recount? Or will he just bust out crying? Place your bets now, people!


I will admit again, i dont like the ipod shuffle, but obviously the market loves it. 1 gig of music for $129. You can't even find a portable USB memory stick for that price. If i had the money, i'de buy one to use it as a backup for my computer. and have 1 or 2 sets on it for when i travel.

I have the iRiver H320 and all I can say is FUCK ipod.ipod is a piece of shit compare to this. The sound quality is just awesome and I recommend this to everyone and please dont buy that ipod crap unless you dont care about the quality.
Anyone else here has the H320?

The only thing right now I would buy from Apple is the Mini Mac.

be realistic

whose going to get a cue sheet for each liveset the download.. especially if you want to keep up to date.. you have to wait for someone to make it, etc etc.. by the time you actually get hte cue sheet the set is like 6 months old..


i would still say the best thing for TRANCE is an ipod nothing beats that fastforward feature

although i am very disapointed they dont have a proper line in recording feature.. something really stupid if you ask me.


if a mini disk player splits tracks every 5 - 8 minutes.. that would be sweet too.. you would probably get very easily confused on the set time though :/

the battery life would probably last about 8 months before it starts to piss you off.. you can easily send it in for free waranty (a bit of a hastle) but rechargable batteries never last forever

let me rephrase that

ELECTRONIC MUSIC

hehe

Im also planning on getting the H320,looks a lot more sexier, and reliable my friend. Either the H320 or the PMP_120 which has a video player to upload movies...basically up to 80 hours of movies and 600 hours of songs. Talk about a mini theater.

does iriver play divx movies if you load them in. I would like a review from someone who has the version that plays divx??
