Should I get Sony or Apple?

[SONYFX]

So I want to get a mp3 player for chirstmas, I can't decide which one to get.

ipod mini --> small and cool, but battery life sucks

ipod --> too bulky

Sony NW-HD3 ---> best battery life, but expensive

 

[Anubis]

Creative Zen Micro - 5gb ipod mini Small & Good Bat Life
Rio Carbon - SMALLER THEN THE IPOD MINI - 5gb, sweet battery life

 

[loup garou]

What about a Zen Micro or Rio Carbon? I do like the HD3 though.

LOL, Anubis and I are always on point with the Carbon/Micro recommendations.

Apple makes the BEST hardware and software. You can't beat them. The units practically pay for themselves after a bit of use.

 

[DaWhim]

Neither

Come back when you've read the OP.

Missing something is like not missing something. Is all relativity wisdom of toot.

shutup you!

i know sony recently announced they are losing the attrac battle, but that doesn't take away 99% of the other flaws with their cr@p.

Sony only gets that battery life when playing 48bit ATRAC. It will be shorter for anything else.
