It's maybe a little exaggerated when I call them the "Evil Apple corperation" but steve jobs is an acutal asshole in real life. I know what I say may seem like I hate the apple corperation too passionatly but when I request for people to recommend me a product BESIDES the INFAMOUS I-POD I get extremely irritated. I first used a mac in kindergarden and ever since I have hated them because of their limited flexability. I don't know where this post was on the forums but like one said "If they made the mac operating system like the windows operating system, it would have as many if not more problems as windows has. Windows is relatively stable but the reason why some people will disagree is because you hear about people who get this blue screen of death or they experience it for themselves. I haven't had a blue screen of death since 1998 and that was on Windows 95. Yes I am using Windows XP which would technically mean I would never get it but I disabled the feature of restarting the computer when theres an error. I have over 8 machines in my ROOM running operating systems ranging from Dos 2.11-Windows XP Pro. I hate the apple corperation and don't expect to change my views, just please recommend me to a product that has nothing to do with fricken APPLE! ARGH!

Sorry but it seems that the last 6 ppl who just posted are all loser 30 yr olds who live at home with thier parents and look like hippies. Also I would assume your all mac users who "claim" they have PCs so I should shut up you loser and all the bullsh!t. I'm a lot more open minded then mac people because mac people (usually) are so persisant on spending 3k on a machine that they will spend less than 1000 hours on is so worth it, its like bitching at a brick wall saying that you should be tan and not red. BTW the only reason why I don't have linux installed on my machines yet is because I dont have a PSU for the system I intend to install linux on.

stupid inflated prices

the ihp-120 looks really good and only goes for 290usd in the states (or 299-50 on amazon) but here it's 370usd+! wtf! with the 14% tax it's way more than i'd spend on an mp3 player.

ironically it looks like the ipod is my cheapest option :confused: :Q

maybe i'll wait a bit and see if the prices come down.

I dont want the MP3 Player to look like an I-Pod too much!
Edit:Lol OOPS!

iHP-120, right now for $250 (with current $50 amazon rebate). other than that, you really need to work on your maturity, my young 14 year old friend.

dighn your such a fricken hypocrite, you claim that the iHP-120 is soo inflated.. Look at the damn I-Pod! Spend 400$ on a device that doesnt even have a color screen. For 400$ I would rather spend it on a PDA where I could listen to music and surf the net. I dont believe the apple corperation is going to take over the world because of the fact they just recently learned the meaning of "true marketing" by appealing to the ignorant classes' sex appeal of things instead of functionality since apple products have always had limited functionality. I believe that if your a video editor who has a pc but is forced to use a mac in the office or your company doesnt provide PC applications for video/audio editing then I shall not look down on you (my old sister). Most people I know at school purchased the I-Pod because of it's looks, because I am friends with some of them and yet I hate apple products I just try to avoid the confrontation altogether.
BTW Annubis I would rather be pimple boy who gets nice ass then be 30 yr old highschool drop out who lives at home and has no ambition to go anywhere in life because your dad told you that you are a failure and always will be. You got bad grades in middle school and you got bad grades in highschool. Because highschool resembles the real world more than middle school, you soon realized you will never get anywhere in life and that is why you decided to drop out and create your lameass band. If your a retard, then you'll likely reply with your bullsh!t about how your so brilliant and how you went to ITT tech because even if did and you think your so brilliant, in reality really not. Now lets stay on topic K Folks?
Is there any reason why I probably shouldn't get the creative Muvo 4GB? What else can you guys recommend, because I don't plan on wasting $400 on an MP3 player, my budget is around $150-$200 max.
