I just picked one up and I it immediately stabbed me through my finger.
not kidding

sounds like it stabs. where does the sucking part come in?

?

I just heard about those in the Boston Globe.

I dunno, The Zune seems way better by comparison

Gadgets lower your testosterone.

well, I didn't enjoy being stabbed. also, engadet.com had a lot of trouble installing it and they are übergeeks.

you mean you got stabbed by the packaging or the player itself?

the player had a piece of plastic sticking out of it and it stabbed me in the thumb

sue them




hahahaha

That's a comparison made by Zune, with some stupid things on it. It's pretty easy to make your product sound better when you do the comparison.

iPOD Preloaded Virus
RavMonE.exe....? Are they saying iPod's come with a virus?

yeah there were a certain percentage of korean made ipod nanos that had a virus on em. if i remember the percentage was pretty small and it was only the nano.

definately a biased comparison

...i was wrong, it was the video ipod and it was less than 1%


oh and i just love this little quote thrown in:
"As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it."

it was the 5.5gb models. and yes, it old effects windows machines.

ok... but how does it work as an everyday gadget? as reliable as an ipod or more or less so? i want an mp3 player that doesnt fucking pull some sort of bullshit every other week.

I messed with it for a few minutes. the screen is a lot better than the video iPod. the controls are kind of lame. I'm hoping the video iPod kicks the zune's ass.
