What happened to good ol cassette players huh????
Ok, first I'd like to say, who gives a , I own the H320, but I like the look of the Ipod and its nice and simple to use, thats about all I can comment on it, as for the H320, it can play any movies, you have to upgrade to korean firmware (I have 1.25K) and it can play movies that are 1 hour 40minutes long, although some people have reported to have longer movies, if you download Pocket Divx encoder, then you can encode pretty much any movie file to a 268x176 (I think) and it has to be 10fps, this may seem low, but on a screen of this size, its actually perfect.
Anyway, the movie bull is just a bonus, the reasons I got this over the Ipod is because of the better battery life, I could do with a portable harddrive and I can record my sets with it since it has an MP3 encoder that goes upto 320K, for battery life, it depends on how you use it and at what bitrate the mp3 is, but I normally only get about 9 hours out of it, but I still haven't killed the battery right down, so it could be longer, I've had the thing flashing that its battery is empty for like an hour after about 8 hours of use, and it still never died, so I dunno how much longer it could last, the screen is in sharp and bright, you could use this thing as a flashlight, it weighs abit for its size, but never bothered me, neither has the extra depth size it has over the Ipod, width and height there basically the same, oh and you can custom design the look of the interface on them if you wanna "be cool".
Anyway, I'd recommend getting a giant boombox and blasting your tunes from atop of your shoulders, let this wonderful music be heard. |

the Ipod sucks balls...its hasnt changed since it came out...lets see Ipod play multiple codecs and have optical out...Iriver owns..plays OGG files...the best reasone to get it...and its plug and play...no Itunes program to upload music...it detected as a HD...Ipod is overhyped...
You know its sooo incredible how all these "apple fans" are soooo ING IGNORANT S...they think everything that apple makes is gold...I am always arguing with them...#($ all you MAC whores...had to get that off my chest...feel much better... |
Dude, in all seriousness, you should keep your mouth shut. You sound like a moron. Look at this unresolved anger you have for "MAC whores", maybe you should direct that into something useful, like painting. :stongue::stongue::stongue:
On another note, i would say the ipod is the best designed mp3 out there, even though thats all it does. No other players come close to the size of it, except maybe the sony, and the interface is extremely smooth. Im sure the iriver is pretty well off though. If your looking for more bang for your buck, then yeah, go with the iriver. |

20GB and thousands of MP3s.......and people still bitch and moan about the "file size"......
Big, ing deal. I wonder, how many people actually find OGG files, or take the time to convert high quality MP3s to OGG.....FFS, this is NOT a necessity, and when listening to music from crappy portable headphones outside, the difference between mp3 and ogg is barely noticeable.
Go with the Sony, its *THE BEST* HD mp3 player |

No, the only nice thing about the ipod is:
scroll wheel and good amp.
thats it. any audiophile will tell you.
the sony beats it in EVERY other aspect. |

you wouldnt want to convert mp3 to ogg
both are lossy encryption
maybe thats why u cant tell the diff
but i agree 20 gigs is alot of music either way u cut it |

let me clear something up about converting mp3 to ogg...i do it to have double the space on my iriver...and when i convert it i cant tell the diff cuase since ogg's compression is better than mp3 you wont lose the sound quality...now if you do ogg to mp3 then its a diff story.... |
