Any i-people on NSG?

Postby EvilDarkMagicians » Thu Jun 03, 2010 4:59 pm

I just bought a i-Pod touch and I have to say I'm really pleased with it.
I thought like many that I would be a dedicated PC user for life, but the i-pods sleek charms have won me over.
The game apps are really addictive and there are many other apps with very useful features, what more could you want?

Some questions for the i-people who inhabit NSG:

1. Are you pleased with your apple products?
2. What's your favourite feature on you apple product(s)?
3. Do you prefer apple or PC?

My iPod Touch is alright, it gets Final Fantasy, :)...but, I miss my iPod Classic, and more specifically, the shittonne of music I had on it, which is now lost to the ages, :(

1. Both my Macbook and my iPod nano are amazing. I'm always pleased with my Apple products.
2. The bluetooth application and the sync. It makes sending files to my husband's iPhone a breeze.
3. I prefer Apple for working with imaging and PC for gaming.

I recently bought an 160GB iPod classic - After lugging around a CD player and a case including about 60 burned CDs everywhere I go, it feels like heaven.

Of course, any mp3 player would have.

I had an iPod Video given to me. I don't use it much.

None.

I am rather tempted by iPad, but I'd want it to run Maemo or something instead.

I've had an iPod in one way shape or form for a while. I like it's seamlessness.

I've had two nanos, one of which screens cracked and one which decided to play hide and seek and an I-pod touch all have done their job. Desktop computers are different PCs are better than Macs.

I have a iPod Touch. It's wired into my car stereo (it disconnects, of course), and mounted on my dash. It perfect for driving.

I absolutely detest Apple. The only reason I have an iPod is because they dominate the market.

Yeah, but they're products are often rather inferior though.

Using a device while driving isn't exactly a good idea.

I found my zen perfectly functional, and better than an iPod, as it doesn't need any proprietary software to use

Indeed. iPod, sound quality wise, to me, is far superior to Zune.

IN what way?

I personally can't justify spending over $50 for a music player I'm likely to destroy long before I fill it up or it breaks on its own.
