Thanks, I was reviewing the iPOD website. Noticed they no longer offer >20GB standard iPODS but instead slot you into the iPOD photo which is color and offers 60GB. (imagine 60GB of porn pics, I mean music.....)
Though the iPODP does not offer a firewire cable where as the standard does (odd they would pull the cable like that).
My brother mentioned they only have 6 equalizer settings - but the specs say they have 20 (so I suppose in the latest offerings they increased the list). His contention was "inability to customize the equalizer". I could say that with 20 presets that would solve the issue for most users then again, assuming that you fork over that dough for this instead of a non-apple - you would think the person "really loves their music" and thus the ability to listen to the music "the way they really want to" would matter. (again I am going on specs so can only assume the absence of "custom equalizer settings" means there are none). No idea what other brands offer. Spoke of the FM tuner, and yes almost every non-iPOD has FM (found the $1-2 bucks in the budget I suppose).
I was toying with the other ipodwannabees. The accessories are kinda thin. e.g. I would want (like the phone) a protective case; plus I like the extended control ( you clip on your shirt whatever an extra piece that controls the volume and allows you to go to next song) - in the car I could see having a push button readily available instead of picking up the ipod and trying to hit the right button whilst going 80km/h down Bayview avenue during rush hour...
The more and more I download or stream my music and find gems that I just love hearing over and over, the more I want to get something. But too many other priorites like the kids education.
Wells as Fred Rutherford would say "back to the chartmines Ward"...
Cheers to hopefully a better week gang!

Fred Rutherford: Have to keep a firm hand on boys nowadays, Ward. My Clarence answered me back the other day. I smacked him right in the mouth. None of this psychology for me.
(not only are the prices rising and the companies are shifting to shittier ingredients to cust costs, even iHUB is doing its part - reducing the "free posts" from 18 to 15 recently...)
