when you hack your ipod with IPL there is the fact that you get a PDA and a IPOD for $300 which is better than some *cough *cough Microsoft product *cough that costs 2 1/3 X as much.

And seriously whats funner than going too bestbuy and asking the guy who runs the MP3 player section.
" hey my ipod wont load Pokemon gold can you help me with this?"
god that guy was pissed. he voided my warranty :roll:

and also just the fact that its linux adds 10 too the "Awsome Geek Hack" factor. and it made by apple which Pwns microsoft !! :twisted:

1) ...So? A PPC can play music and videos too...
2) My PPC costed $300 - And it didn't require me to void a warranty, and can do more out of the box than an iPod can after being hacked.
3) Microsoft doesn't make devices...

I'm sorry, but once again, you're working off of the most expensive model, which is an HP with a 640x480 display and a thumb print scanner.

which brings me back too the point that it is NOT an ipod and it does NOT have 30GB of memory and that it does not thave the nice music and video interface and fuctionality of the Ipod! :P and its still not made by apple.

edit--

bacon posted while i was typing thist post was refering to tural above :roll:

----

and as my retort to bacons comment.

yes but in comparison id rather have a IPOD with hacks rather than a blackberry or some of the lower quality pda's. im not saying an ipod beets a 700 dollar machine if thats what you are thinking.

Nice interface? I HATE the iPods interface, with a PPC I can just literally tap a song name and it plays.
And who the hell uses all that space?
I don't even have a 30gb hard drive in my notebook!!!

And I eat Apples for lunch.

i use all the space

edit--

you may not like the ipod interface but it does have much more functionallity than most mp3 or pda's. and another point i would like too make is only ipods can play music off of itunes music store and it can play video podcasts and normal Podcasts! :P

Inferno, your logic is flawed to the point when you're not even stating facts anymore, you're just throwing out biased opinions about everything.

I'm done here, I give up on the ability of people in this thread to have a coherent debate.

Edit: I can't fill up 2gb, it would be retarded to pay for 30.

Well, duh, you imbecile, that's what flash drives are for!
500 * 3 (with a REAL compression! MP3 is outdated, even WMA is better) = 1500mb.
And why the heck do you have 400 videos? What of? You keep your pron on there?

Um, you're supposed to delete the videos after watching them, and guess what, here's another way a Pocket PC (or even a good Palm for that matter) beats you:
WiFi. Us PDA users can go to the local Starbucks and watch podcasts directly, without even downloading them (except for the buffering)

Um, COMPRESSION. If I can get a 2 hour long movie to be 200mb on 320x236 (Chronicles of Riddick, Fullscreen, the widescreen would have been smaller), then you can get a half hour episode of some podcast-ed show down to at least 50mb.

And WiFi is actually for portable devices, the wireless format in laptops is no longer referred to as "wifi" but just Wireless G.

Um, how long is a standard episode - i'll tell you exactly how small you can get it, save you some space on that gigantic hard drive.

Unfortunately, by the time we have 30gb flash cards (ie, SD cards), iPods will have 1 terrabyte hard drives...
