Screw you Apple and your LAME new iPod Touch
BlindsideDork | 12:49 PM on 09.05.2007 33 comments


Yeah, I said it! And I am proud and stand by it. I love Apple products ever since I started using them. My 20" iMac has served me well as well as my 30GB iPod Video but when you release this...this GARBAGE, I lose faith in you.

For those of you who don't know...Apple is being lazy and decided for the new touch screen iPod to take an iPhone, gut out the phone part (but leave the internet?) and only have 16GB of HDD. All that for $400. The 8GB iPhone price dropped down to that much...I'd much rather have an iPhone and my iPod than that lame iPod Touch.





Apple why can't you just give us a straight up widescreen touch iPod that holds more than an iPod Nano? Is that so hard to ask? Yeah I realize you want Wi-Fi to compete with the Zune...wait, compete with the Zune product that 5 people own? Come on...really?

Sure they unveiled Wi-Fi iTunes store but not everyone (I don't) but songs from iTunes. Screw that! Screw you Apple!

Oh yeah, this is how much play back you get...



Keep in mind when surfing the net, you are using VIDEO hours.

just refer to it as the "touchpod;" easier to say and type.

Wait, their big announcement was a crapware iPhone? That's stupid. You're stupid, Apple. Stupid baby.

I am really stoked for the cheaper 80 gig iPod classic.
I've needed a new iPod since I still have a black n white one.
$250 for 80 gigs? hell yeah!

I was really hoping to see flash memory jump up higher than 16GB. I really want a 30GB all-flash memory player with video. Basically, the nano with 30GB. Oh well... the Zune is looking tastier and tastier...

How about an MP3 player that can actually hold more than a quarter of my music collection. 80GB not enough. I'll forego all of your touch screen shenanigans for for more storage.

I just want some iPhone updates. Or even better...an official SDK! All this hacking stuff makes me feel dirty.

It's really surprising that the video playback is so low, but perhaps it's because the screen is so big. The more screen and pixels the more processing power and bigger backlight is required. Organic LEDs would help it more. The solid state memory instead of the microHDD probably helped a lot, but as you can tell it cut way down the size of the storage (16 GB is laym).

Is that playback more or less than current ipods?

I had been waiting on buying an ipod since they announced the iphone, i thought it was obvious they would use that tech on their new models, but 16gb storage? That sucks, i think i made a mistake waiting.

Oh that was a little rage. I was hoping that today's conference brought news of an official SDK so that I can program with official tools and not hacked stuff. The only update the phone will be getting is a WiFi music store (lame) and ringtones that I get for free now.

Oh yeah...it can surf the internet but but that counts as video so 5 hours of surfing the net and then you got NO music!

@Kryptinite

I know what you're saying, but what I'm asking is, is that your comment from Engadget?

I am one of five proud owners of a Zune. I worked in a tech support center for iPods and had a free iPod for a while, but I had nothing but trouble with it. When I got transferred to another project I missed having an mp3 player so much that I decided to buy a Zune and haven't had one complaint about it. Well, actually the only thing I can think of is that there are less accessories for it since it's not as popular as the iPod.

The one thing i truly adore about the zune is the colors.
I may be in the minority, but that brown/green one?
Beautiful.
but, the iPod is the way to go for me.

@dtoidarmy: I guess I'm number four. Honestly, I really like the damn thing. Video conversion could stand to be easier and I'd have liked the ability to display asian fonts, but those are my only real complaints.

for the same price of the 16GB you can get the 8GB iPhone. I would get the iPhone. If I didn't already have it.

So it was true and yes it's lame. I'll stick with my current Ipod.

guess im sticking with my Nano. and when that Nano finally breaks down im getting a fucking Zune


honestly I think my people would agree, while they'd rather buy an iTouch the Zune is a better deal and a better Mp3 player than this bunk apples spewed out of their collective assholes today

it's too bad i would buy an Ipod classic over either of them though lol

you are such a bitter dude. If it's what people want then they can buy it. Have you ever seen the episode of the twilight zone where the guy wishes that everybody think like him, AND THE WORLD FUCKING SUCKED? I see you reply to alot of posts and they are always so goddamn negative, example "Anyone who is excited my this goddamn announcement is fucking dead to me." What the fuck dude, do you really care about peoples preferences to buying electronics that much? haha, YOU'RE CRAZY BRAH!
