Yeah, that would be great. But for now I'd settle for one of those fancy smancy PDA's that have the pager function, wireless web access, and a phone. I've got a PDA, pager, and phone. Some have overlapping features (wireless access, calendars/appointments/notes, alarms, etc...), but I'd like to have them all in one little machine. I just haven't found the one I want that's affordable and goes with my phone plan yet. If there's one that can handle multiple accounts, that would be even better.
Does that thing have a USB port?
I hooked my iPod up, copied the "iPod control folder" to my hard drive, and let iTunes sort my files back out. It worked out okay.
I think a Blackberry with expandable memory and MP3 playback would be the ultimate must-have. I would not be able to resist. (Well, my checkbook would resist, but if it were up to me....)
I just read the battery installation instructions. I don't know why they don't make them easy to install like cell phone batteries. Those are never a problem. BTW, are their aftermarket iPod batteries yet? If so, I am pretty sure I can get them cheap.
That's the real beauty to a high capacity digital player like the iPod or some other brand. Being able to encode your music at a 192kbps rate or higher and not have to give a frag about how much room it takes up. For the audiophile, 128kbps and lower is unlistenable.
This is just as easy as changing the battery on a cordless phone. I think your "cell-phone" question is a matter of design.
The link I provided is for aftermarket retail iPod batteries. If they're available retail, obviously there must be SOMEONE who sells them wholesale, wouldn't you agree?
Gotcha. I supply cell phone batteries for people on the side. I always sell them for $15 each which is way below the retail cost on such batteries. I sell both after market and original batteries. Either way I charge only $15. They are about double that in the stores.
But it also identifies the user as a self-absorbed fad following metrosexual.
MAC makes it, it's for swishy-folk.
Hate Microsoft all you wish, but thats what you use when you have a job.
Usually the ones who like to play "spot the queer" are the ones with the most self-doubt.
Oh get over yourself. Is the President of the US a nancy boy? Hardly.
Alrighty then.
I don't have "Spot the Queer" on my Dell, but play away on that MAC!
I don't own a Mac. In fact, I've never spent dollar one on Apple, hardware or software. Not so much as a commemorative pen. Sorry to disappoint you.
Oh, I couldn't do that.. I have MAC-using family members and I need to keep my point sharp! ;-)
Cousins, not offspring..
LOL!!!!
Is that related to axiom about "he who smells the fart first..."?
I used to think vinyl was the superior format, but I have since shifted my allegiance to SACDs mastered by Steve Hoffman.
>>I wish I could download more than just two per month, however.
i had my wife sign up so i could get an extra 2 and still wind up buying an extra from time to time. i don't use it for music since i have only one ear. no mono mode. i would never have time to sit and read 4 books a month, but having this device allows it whether i am commuting or shopping or having lunch. i also use it at bedtime. i am "well read" again after the last year.
