i have a 4 gig one right now, it works great any everything but i need more space, so i'm thinking of breaking down and getting an ipod video.

but does anyone know when the next gen is coming out?
i wouldn't want to spend the $$ then a month later the new ones come out then the old ones drop in price.

Apple is making an announcement tomorrow that everyone thinks will be the unveiling of a new iPod.

I hate iPods personally. Get a creative or an Archos. best ones out there

BDx13 - 9-4-2007 at 10:10 AM

yeah, wait til after tomorrow.
if you don't want one of the BRAND new ones, hunt around for the ones they currently have after tomorrow, they should be discounted.


or, the most horribly named DAP ever:

if you're looking for something different and cheaper than an iPod, check out www.archos.com I just got one of these. They sell refurbished ones for a good price. They have up to 160gb.

I got a 30 GB video ipod and only have about 8 GB left. So I would suggest a 60 or 80 if you get one. I ahve about 1000 cd;s on mine with no video and it took that much space. I now wish I have a 80GB.

I bought a 4 gb Sony mp3-player last year and I'm still very satisfied with it. At first the software especially was hard to use and it was constantly crashing the whole computer when used. Luckily I got it fixed and even realized how the program works and after that everything has been quite easy. And it only costed about 220 euros!

Apple announced the new iPod...doesn't look any different except the outside shell is metal. Has a new user interface and is available in 80gb ($249), 160gb ($349). ZZZzzzzZZZzzzz if you ask me.

Dave - 9-5-2007 at 01:55 PM

what site did you read this on?

bombidol - 9-5-2007 at 02:02 PM

itouch ipod thing too. Washed out rehashed shit.

JUICE MAYNE MSHC - 9-5-2007 at 02:02 PM

just saw this...iPod touch...the iPhone without the phone...exactly the same except a little thinner (wifi, safari, youtube, etc included). $299 for 8gb, $399 for 16gb

much more impressive but too expensive for such little storage space.

you can read all this stuff on www.engadget.com

Archos already has wifi, touch screen, youtube, bigger storage size, cheaper price.

BDx13 - 9-5-2007 at 03:14 PM

iPhone updates, too.
4GB dropped, price of 8GB lowered to $399.

cool, if all goes well i'll wait til the 80 gig video drops in price and i'll probably get one of those.
