iPod influx

[T-Grey]

good god they're everywhere!

I'm the only one who got the 40GB tho :p

and I'm the only one who actually has use for the space (I've got around 6,700 songs); one kid told me he had 41 songs on his 20GB pod

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

that is really sad right there, lol. its the same situation, the people that got them at my school like put 50 songs on a 20 gig like u said t-grey. i have bout 1500 on mine and everyone is like dude how on earth did u get that much. its rather amusing if u dont mind me saying so, lol

[Reload]

possible to define yourself with the musics on the pod?, yes? just dear god don't play linkin park.

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

haha, yea i dont put bad music on my iPod, its like soiling it, lol.

[asdflkjsdrhthfhrhr]

I feel good about my purchase of a 40gb ipod. I'm going to attempt to fill it up. Right now I've got 3151 songs and a couple hundred in the queue (559 estimate, there are some text files too)

[Timmah Veteran]

WOW, same here, I was rocking the Gen3 last year. This guy I know on this board who lives down the street from me made fun of me saying "why would you want all that music with you at one time?" and he comes back to school saying he got a gen4 20 gig  :angry: . Also two people i take to school got gen4 ipods :( THEY ARE EVERYWHERE NOW, but no one has the sexy gen3 :D

Despite being an iRiver homie I'll agree.

The Gen3 iPod is nicer in looks than the Gen4, IMO :)

Ugh... someone asked if they could "see my iPod" today...

...as I stripped the iSkin off my iHP-140 :angry:

One thing I find annoying is everyone says iPod so when I say I got an iRiver/MP3 player, I gotta say I got an mp3 player etc, they always ask me wtf my thing is

[betasp]

It makes me kind of ill. I had a 1st gen (that apple gave me when I worked for a reseller for selling 4 powermacs in a month). Then I got a 3rg gen and now a mini. I sold the old one to get a new one.

But now they have lost their cool factor. I feel like how a Green Day fan felt after they went mainstream. Maybe I will look at an iriver next. I need to be different.

[FiREFLi]

gah - some idiot gurl at college has a nice 40gb ipod with like 3 cds ripped to it. Oh dear. :argh: :angry: (N)

This is not fair.

[CJC]

I have the same situation at my school. Many many kids have iPods.

And the saddest part is that a lot of them have only around 100 songs on them. Such a waste... :no:

I also hate how the white earphones are now a fashion statement: I have an Ipod!

I've never tried the headphones, are they extraordinarily good or something?

[punker429]

Haha get over it guys it was the hottest item of the year everybody and their mother has one now. I don't see why people care about petty stuff like this. I had a 1st generation back when nobody knew what an iPod was. It was only a matter of time before the market was flooded with them since they are worth the price now.

[Skid]

Who cares if everyone has them does it really matter...

[Keito]

I am so much cooler with my iRiver at school then the iPod kids :p j/k

but I agree, the iPod was cool at some point but too many people have them now for it to be something special...

[meamog]

There aren't alot of people at my university with iPods (at least, there weren't before the holidays, dunno now) but those that do have them tend to use them. I don't care how many people have an iPod like mine, or how many songs they have on theirs, all I care about is whether or not mt 'Pod can do what it's supposed to: work with my iTunes library of 7200+ songs to supply me with more music than i could try to listen to in any given day. So what if it's a fashion item, it's a useful device for me. Anybody else who has gottten a mini or whatever to put 25 songs wasted some cash, perhaps, but in doing so they're giving Apple R&D money for the next generation of iPods that some of us will use to their full potential...

I guess I'm saying, if you use your iPod, don't comlpain... but what do I know?

[pyehac]

So far, I've been the few odd people, as the rest who has MP3 players use iRivers or Creatives.

But atleast I can drop mine from a table and it'll still work :p (I have the iPod armor).

[russellc]

my school always has had at least 4 ipod users. now everyone has one. it kinda ****es me off because it kinda shows that the ipod is just a fashion thing to everyone. everyone always has it in their hand. someone got theirs stolen just yesterday (serves them right for showing off)

1 in 5 people have iPods at my school.

When will people realize that the stock headphones are terrible? maybe they just wear them to show off.

[russellc]

maybe they just wear them to show off.

585246883[/snapback]

not maybe, but in fact, it is the reason they wear them.

[asdflkjsdrhthfhrhr]

I've been thinking about that, what should I get to replace them? I think larger ones would look rediculous...

[L3thal Veteran]

Only about 3 people at my school have iPods, probably because I live in the inner city :|

I was going to purchase one through my job (Best Buy), but there are no discounts off it, so I said screw it. I will wait for the 5th gen iPod to purchase one. For now, I'll save up to get a Nextel i860.

HAHA, i have a Creative Zen Micro, and it comes with white headphones. So when im walking down the hall, and in my classes while my Zen is in my pocket is very annoying. I probably get at least 10 "hey, show me your pod"'s each day. I try to be polite and explain that its not an iPod, but is a Creative. Their eyes glaze over in about 5 seconds. :rolleyes:

those r sleek and far better than the "mini"

[Razorwing]

inevitablly, it is true to my school too.. :laugh: :D

[ike]

wow, incredible. it's been a few years since i was at highschool, but in my last year more and more people had started bringing laptops and other bits of technology to school. ipods aren't exactly cheap, it's interesting that highschoolers are being given this much money for things like that (on such a large scale)

anyhow, when one ipod gets stolen, that'll lead to new rules at the school restricting them, ruining it for everyone. or teachers will get ****ed at students listening to music instead of their lessons :rofl:

[PLCorndog]

ha, my pre-calc teacher doesnt care if i listen to my zen micro, as long as i listen to the lecture first, and then do at least one problem in class. i actually finished an assignment in class once!!! :dj:
