people are getting greedy.
tell me, with the 15 hours of battery life u get (and more like 12 in reality) of the thousands of songs u got on the iriver, how many of them do u listen to in a week with 12 hour battery life? Hmm? 2 gigs, TOPS, with skipping tracks.....im sure.
I went back to minidisc, the versatility, reliability, and sound quality beats EVERYTHING out there. oh yah, and small size, mines an import :) |

... The you never listen to that much music arguement, It's called "selection."
I'd rather not have to load different music each day onto it. One of the reasons, actually, the main reason i picked up the 60 gig.
"Ok, this set isnt right for my mood, how about this set..." being able to have 56 gigs worth of DJ sets and other tracks is handy. Plus how easy it is to navigate to choose between them is key.
It doesnt play movies, big whoop. I listen to music and dont have much need to watch a movie on such a small screen.
It's overpriced hype. Yeah, but I still love it. I chose to pay the price, that's my decision. And i still get amazing battery life. 17 hours yesterday (you can believe me or not, but that's how long it lasted.) If you don't want to pay the extra and have use for the other features than the iPod is not the way to go, but if you want to listen to music I suggest iPod.
Doesn't work as a hard drive, Kamil can tell you horror stories about it working as a hard drive. I have my computer back-up on mine. How could I do that if it wasn't detected as a hard disk? |

Sony PWNS you all!!!!
:D
I don't have the HD3, as i ordered my HD1 way back when and when i got it, the HD3 was announced 3 days later :whip: :whip: :whip:
but if you look at everything, the HD3 is a lot better in the ipod in respects to battery life, size, variety (4 different colours...to some people that matters :P) and has the versatility of being able to play ATRAC and ATRAC3 which is a bonus for ex-Net MD owners
