New Ipod Goodness


Recommended Posts

i occasionally get that rainbow coloured effect but its not permanent :huh: i will be sat at home using my ipod and i dont notice it even if im looking for the rainbow screen effect its not there, but if im out and about i tedn to notice it then ;) what causes that raindow effect anyway ? :wacko:

  lol, sell th ipod and all the accessories and buy a 20GB 3g.

youll get a smaller, lighter, cooler better ipod, and several hundred in your pocket.

you can spend that several hundred on songs.

No he won't. The battery life is worse, the 3g's weigh more and have larger dimensions. Not to mention any 3G now will almost certainly be a refurb or second-hand of some sort, carrying no Apple warranty, except maybe AppleCare.

Electronics dont work like antiques. The longer you take to sell it, the less the item will go for. Your ipod is not a collectors item and it will never be. The U2 edition cant even be considered a collectors item because its widely sold everywhere.

As for people saying sell it and get a new player, i'd have to agree, but if hes so excited over it then let him be. Personally I'd never waste money on an ipod, especially not an ipod photo or the u2 ipod. Its all just a marketing scheme.

Anyways, congrats on getting all that stuff, i guess...?

sigh, i wish people would lay off the fashion/trend ###### argument against the iPod. sure some people may use it as a fashion item (ie. fashion conscious girls and trendy guys) but the majority just want a great and arguably the best mp3 player available.

style and usability in electronics is a product of good design. apple just capitalized whereas samsung, iriver, et al. continue to strive towards it. sony is almost there with their newest offerings...

just because the iPod has a lot of marketing behind it and high market share doesn't make it trendy. using that logic, consider windows. where are all the "you're all trend ###### using an inferior operating system when you could use nix or osx instead" statements?

if you want the iPod, get it. if you don't just get something else and be happy.

Some of you need to chill out. He got an iPod and is excited to show it off. It obviously meets his needs as far as portable music goes, so why bash it? As long as he is happy with it, then kudos to him. Your personal opinion of the iPod will have no affect on his useage or joy and really only serves as a poor attempt at beating down Apple's often "elitist" attitude with an elitist attitude of your own.

    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
