what’s wrong with ipod?
sure, it’s the cool, must-have gadget of the year (years?), but… not quite perfect. cnet explores. they make five points (and suggest alternatives, depending on your personal priorities)
1. Six-plus hours of battery life is not always enough.
2. Jogging with a hard drive-based player is not cool.
3. The iPod is expensive.
4. You want to make high-quality digital recordings.
5. You want a choice in online music stores.
of course, maybe that last one isn’t such a big deal…
The Ipod battery quits after the one year warrenty exprires. Also I bought the 10 mg in Dec 2002. In April of 2004 the thing just dies and Apple won’t do anything to fix it except charge me $250 and send me a refurbished one.
