I recently ordered an iPod Mini. It is an MP3 player

made by Apple and has a 4GB hard drive and holds over 1000 songs and has all kinds

of cool features like games, calendar, address book, and can store pics, files,

documents, etc.
I am having mine laser engraved for no extra fee but it will take

longer to arrive. It is supposed to be shipped on or before the Ides of March (Mar.

15).
This is the one I am getting:

For those of you who say that Apple sucks and that there are a lot

of better MP3 players out there, I personally love Apple products and haven't

had a problem with them. They are more expensive but better quality. Plus, the

reviews for MP3 players all point out that the Apple iPods are the best choice so I

quite happy with my choice.

Yay! More people are switching to Apple!

Anyways, I've got an iMac and I use iTunes. Never had a problem with any of

them, except I can't play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 on it...

. I personally

like the green one since it's my favorite color.

For all you Microsoft

lovers out there-
I've had more problems with my PC then my Mac. I

have both since I play RCT2. On the PC, I get pop-ups ever friggin minuet! It

anyones the heck out of me! And I don't even use IE! TGhey just

come up with random advertisments. I use IE on my can and I have only had like five

pop-ups ever. Switch to Apple! (Plus their apeal is awesome! Can you

say...ajustibal flat-screen!)

I have 1 PC and it sucks. I is only like 2 years old

and is worse then my G3 PowerMac that is at least 6 years old! My G3 is

running fine and works great. My dad has a Powerbook G4 lap top which is so

awesome. A 17 in wide screen is great. The way I see it, you really don't need

a PC if you have a mac. As for games, most good games come out for Macintosh in

a year or so. RCT2 probably won't because it was never that great to begin

with but there is always Virtual PC if you have to play it on your mac.
Green is

also my favorite color which is why I am getting the green iPod.

Microsoft isn't that bad.I downloaded a

freepop-up blocker and its great.I wish i could get an iPod but i just got a mp3 a couple

months ago.Can you change the batterys in that one?Theres one that dies after like 18

months and you have to pay $250 to get it fixed.I had the website that told about

it but i lost it.

[Westside7th]

The iPod battery recharges but if it dies you have to

pay $99 for Apple to replace it. If it dies withing the 1 year warranty, then they

replace it for free.
As for pop-ups, on Macs, you still get pop-ups. If the website

has pop-ups, they will come. If pop-ups come up when you aren't using IE, then

that is because Kazaa or some program added stuff to your system to make pop-ups

come up. Macs are programmed so Kazaa and things like it cannot do that to your

computer unless you manually set the computer to allow that.

I am not

saying Microsoft is bad (although I hate it) I am just stating that IMO, PCs in general

are not as good as Macs. The operating system and entire computer is a lot better

than PCs and Microsoft or Linux or whatever.
Also, Apple is known for the

making great products. Apple created the first personal computer and came up with

the interface on your computer. Apple came up with idea of having a desktop and

Microsoft just stole the idea and now uses it on all of their OSs. Apple is leading the

industry in online music downloads and the iPod is the #1 selling MP3 player. Apple

also has the G5 which is the fastest personal computer and also has the G5 server that

is the 3rd faster server in the world. If you look at the fatcs, Apple just has better

products but they just need to learn to price them lower so more people will buy them

and realize that Macs are so much better than PCs.

Who gives a crap? A

comp is a comp, as long as: A. It's not slow as a turtle, and B: I have the basics

(RCT2, Comcast Internet, AIM, MP3 Player software...) then I could give a rats ***

what I'm using...

I'm have a NOMAD MP3 Player and I like

it, don't get the hype over the iPod. That's personal opinion my friend...

But whatever, the N-Gage kicks all of their ***es anyway...

[sfmm_freak]

WHy would you get an iPod mini, its a rip, IMO,

why not get those extra 11 gigs for 50 dollars. i personally wouldnt care if it has games

and a clendar and stuff, i would rather have those extra 11 gigs for my music. I got a

20 GB MP3 player just on saturday for $200 and it has all the capabilities of an

iPod, but cheaper. I love it so far. Me=happy customer.


I love Apple

to death, but i wouldnt go towards the iPod mini. Im not saying go to another MP3

player, just avoid the iPod mini. Read reviews: www.techtv.com

[Westside7th]

I don't want the 15GB iPod because I really

don't need all that space and I want the smaller iPod mini because I think it looks

better an suits me for my needs. It is just my personal choice. From teh reviews I

have read, the majority say that iPods are the best MP3 player to get. I already use

iTunes to listen to all my music, why not get an MP3 player that is compatible with it.

[Westside7th]

My iPod was just shipped today! It is in

Shanghai right now. I hope I get it by Monday! I have also been putting all my

CDs onto the computer and I have almost 500 songs ready to upload onto my iPod

when it arrives.

[awclark]

I have the 15gb IPod which hold 3700 songs. I got

mine about a month ago. not online though, i bought it in the Apple store.

they're awesome!!! I am switching to apple too because in our

school for 7th and 8th graders we get the 12'' IBook (I'm 8th grader)

For HS I am probably leaning towards the 12 or 15'' Powerbook. I think

it can use no limits because it has a video card built in (Nvedia).

[Westside7th]

Oh, man, you are lucky! Getting your own

iBook! The Powerbooks are better and they will definately run No Limits b/c

my dad has a 15'' Powerbook and it has a Radeon card. Apples are so

great! How many songs do you have on your iPod?

[Westside7th]

Well it arrived yesterday! I haven't put

any songs on it yet because I have been very busy but it looks so awesome, and very

small! It came in a cube shaped box that folds apart into little compartments

which contain the various accessories that came with it. I just need to upload my 800

songs onto it.

[awclark]

I only have about 125 songs so far

I am a total Mac

fan! I would have an Apple in front of me right now but it is just a little too much

$$$! Although I did fined a

simple solution to the annoying pop-ups. Google Toolbar! IT STOPS THOSE

ANOING POP-UPS! Lookhere!

My iPod mini is awesome! I take it everywhere

and listen to my 811 songs! At school, I can play solitare on it while I listen to

tunes (although my graphing calculator has games too). I have one of those audio port

to tape player thing so I can plug my iPod into the cassette player in the car! It

is great.

[Screamer]

I have an MP3 player it is a NOMAD MuVo. It weighs

just over one ounce. It holds 128 MB of storage. It is also skip free. And it came with

a strap so you can wear it around your neck. It can't hold as much songs as an

iPod mini but it can hold both of the full size albums of linkin park.
