iPod questions & tech support

What are your thoughts on Apple's iPod ?
Even though I own one, I feel it's a pretty shamelessly hyped product.
Its supports very few formats and doesn't have many other features as well
The Rio Karma is a great alternative to the iPod.
What are your thoughts ?

I haven't used a Rio Karma, and I don't own an iPod, but my roommate has an iPod, and I've seen several other handheld digital audio devices. The iPod is by far the best as far as interface and overall design. Sure, it's hyped, but I don't see what's bad about it?
I don't have a problem with a company only supporting their proprietary formats (I think it supports mp3s anyway).

i read in the newspaper a while ago that the ipod's recharchable battery only has a set life of about 1 and a half years. After that you need to get it replaced which costs more than the ipod itself so you just have to buy another ipod.
have they fixed this problem yet?

No idea, but that's pretty shitty if that's the case. My roomate has had his iPod for at least a year now and never had any problems.

http://ipodsdirtysecret.com/message.html
says there that ipod now offer a replacement battery for $99 (i am assuming US).
it was a major problem, sometimes happening to the battery within as little as 3 months. The battery would not last longer than an hour after a full charge. but still, for a battery to fail like that and for them to expect people to get a new ipod instead.
sorry that the site i gave wasn't exactly, professional or anything.
but yeah i couldnt find the newspaper article (it was over a year ago) but it was on the front page of the technology section of one of the biggest papers here in australia.
and still not many people know about it.
these guys made a video about it

i wont be buying an ipod.......i don't care if they offer replacement batteries now........$99 US.......

This is what you want:

I'd like to get an iPod, it seems like the perfect music player.
I have a Minidisc now. The battery time on it is limited (unless you bring an extra battery pack) and you have to bring discs. So and iPod would be great for me.... Maybe I'll get one when I win on the lottery.

its like everyone just ignores the little fact of the battery. shouldn't action be taken against them for lying. replacement batteries my ass i dont see the need for that in other music players.

I?m planning on buying one but I have a question:
How do you charge the battery, I mean, do you have to buy a dock to do so or can you do it with the USB or FireWire...how does it work?

It comes with a charger that you plug into the wall.
Or if you are using a Mac and connect it to it it will charge it's self that way.

I think it receives charge when you plug it into a PC too...? From personal experience, but I haven't connected mine to a computer for a couple of months, so maybe my memory is wrong.

It charges with both Firewire and USB2, not USB however.
What a beautiful piece of technology though!
Get yourself a docking station as well and also an Itrip so you can play all your MP3's through a stereo. i picked one up for ?7.99( the itrip that is, not the pod itself)

please don't buy an ipod
it's 8 years old technology
it's just a trend
it's EXPENSIVE
their are hundreds of other mp3 player that are far less expensive and much more advanced
seriously. people have to stop with ipods. i see like 40 a day in paris. i don't get it. it came out 8 years ago, and now people are just buying because of the commercial and marketing effort .....
