The iPod rules and everything else sucks!

from the article: "When you download a song or songs onto a regular MP3 player and you put the resolution to poor or bad, then there are all those crackly and static-like sounds"

"Compared to a regular MP3 player, an iPod looks much more modern, with the wheel that ?spins? and the tap of a finger to start the song playing. They?re very stylish too and that?s a definite plus. The regular iPod color is milky white, which is pretty cool, considering most MP3 players are silver or any other color that?s not WHITE."

she has a point about those heavy cds weighing you down, i mean they must weigh a full gram each!

That's a lot of weight for a 13 year old.
Have you seen the 13 year olds nowadays? Kids' bodies mature so much faster than what I'm accustomed to that it's scary.

The weight of the CD's a 60 GB iPod replaces might be heavy...
 
I know she's 13, but her writing is fvcking awful: I noticed several mistakes in the first paragraph and lost all will to read past it.

edit it and send it back to her email 😉
 
She just wants to jump on the "stylish" iPod bandwagon so she fits in with what all her other teeny bopping friends have.
 
Err, iPod has everything? FM tuner?

BTW: Can the iPod organise things like Windows at all? (File/folder/subfolder system)

from the article... "There was talk about iPod even before it hit the shelves. Now have you ever heard talk about other MP3 players before that hit the shelves? I don?t think so." rofl
 
I didn't think the review was as bad as some of you are making it out to be. If it was written by a 28 year old professional writer then yes it's the worst review ever. It's not so bad for a 13 year old on the other hand.
 
1: girls a morn getting most of her information from popculture
2: iPods are a friggin rip off. you can get other brands of mp3 style players for half the ipod cost, and it still does the same damn thing

do the research ppl, mac is great if you suffer from mass amounts of ID 10 T errors, unix/linux is great if your a computer genius(and even that isn't that hard to learn), and PC+Windows is for the rest of us to lazy to learn linux but to smart to use mac.

At 9 years old she must've been reading a lot of web pages.
 
Well, that's one review site I've never heard of before and will never be going back to.
 
I was a regular on those forums about two years back, like 3rd highest post count sadly. Since they started advertising for OCZ a while back they just went down hill. Nothing but ads and banners now.


EDIT: I just looked at her name, the name of the site owner is John Chow. Do you wonder why she's writing?

... that is if she already isn't 😉

Seriously though, how is this review a good idea. Unprofessional faggotry.
