If he wasn't jealous of it, why make a webpage?”
he hasnt just made a page about it, he gets a lots of hits cos he's kind of a social commentator.
anyway, what makes you think he's jealous? A) he is a grown up and b) its only a phone with an ipod - WOW! all an ipod is is a hard drive with some shiny plastic around it and a button. I dont think the world quite appreciates just how much apple are literally lighting their cigarettes with $100 bills every 30 seconds after the whole ipod hype machine. I would'nt care but creative had an "ipod" out a good two years before apple, yet no one took notice as it wasnt made out to be such a fashion accessory that would complete your life.
when you think about it, it uses a few cheap parts, its actual style /design is the pinnacle of simplicity and it has a little bit of software on it. it comes in a flat pack cardboard and its earphones are average at best. that an abysmal failure rate for the first two years, my mate got to a point where it only ran for 30 mins on full battery, and then was quoted £80+ just to get a new battery fitted. there are a hundred devices that do it better, its just because the companies behind them dont have the revenue like them to promote it.
i was thinking this morning, i must of bought about 150 songs off itunes in the past couple of years. what has pissed me off is the quality of a song today which i paid for, which is substandard mp3. When you download off itunes mp3's should be at least 192kbps, i dont care about the file size - if im paying for a track i dont want to hear the (in this case drastic) effects of compression. Im no massive audiophile but i can tell when apple just really havent done their jobs properly, and considering you can only download it once, not play it on anything other than itunes, i think they should pull their fingers out, but do you think they will
will they ****.
