iPod influx

[L3thal Veteran]

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:

Wish they gave us that freedom :s

[kitchenutensils]

omg i hear ya everyone has them - apple should be pround!

[russellc]

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:

at my school, people aren't supposed to use devices such as audio players or cell phones in the building. people just do it anyway, its their own fault that it got stolen or whatever happened to it. still in high school, we're not allowed listening in class or in hallways or library, etc etc (anywhere in the building basically)...if (certain) teachers see you wearing earphones, depending on how their mood is and what their general reputation is, they will either take it away from you (call your parents, keep it for a period of time), or others will just not care.

but, in some students eyes, they think its only possible to listen to music from an ipod (users of other mp3 players do NOT do this) unless they are holding it in their hand for everyone to see.

At my school, its nearly 9 in 10 has an iPod and I am the only one with a cool iRiver :D :p

no one can touch us :cool:

[.:YodaGP:.]

Another reason to get a different player!

I've noticed the same thing in my school, i don't wanna be common..no iPod for me!

[XiXora]

i used to live in bham, i was first out my school to have ipod.

went to college first again.

moved to wales.

first again.

wherever i go people seem to get them after they see mine. i'm like a sales pitch i swear.

i'm sooo buying something else soon because i dont want to be stuck with all the clones.

what else works on mac? :wacko:

[Timmah Veteran]

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

585243523[/snapback]

No. They're not. Simple as that, I'm afraid.

They're ok but a decent pair (EX71s, Shure E2Cs) completely blow them out of the water. Even modded Koss "The Plugs" would be better, I'm sure.

At my sister's School more than half of the people have iPods. They're 4th-6th graders! :laugh:

A mix of iPod minis, U2 iPods and 4G iPods. Apparently there is only one kid who got some other mp3 player for christmas and he hates it.

I think Apple did an excellent job with the iPod. Almost everyone in most Schools has one or wants to have one, including 4th through 6th graders in Mexico. Seriously, why would a 4th grader need an iPod?:rofl:

[Tommy2k4]

I hate my mp3 player, but only because it's only 256mb and has like 4 hours battery life and it's not rechargable. I don't want an iPod though, not worth the money in my opinion, you can get better for cheaper

[sambrentnall]

i have a ipod and i have for 7-8 months now and when i was at school only 1 or 2 people had them now i left school and work i see hundreds of white earphones on the street in town on busses and traines but hey atleast i use mine and have 2,600 on my 15Gb 3g ipod and i love it

[.KICK]

Are there why headphones I can get in white like these

[Deaf Spacker]

I hear ya man :( I wouldn't know about schools but everytime I'm out it seems that everyone has white earphones hanging from their ears. I have a 40gb 4th gen and I actually use it, I don't show off with it and I haven't even used the white earphones I got with it. I just cant believe that kids are getting 40gb iPods and putting 40 songs on there! They should be shot with a nail gun repeatedly :pinch:

[Homer]

I haven't seen many people in my school with an iPod, but the smaller 256mb flash based players are in a large abundance at my school, a lot of my friends have them.

I like my 40gb iPod personally. :)

[Fairlady_Z]

The only reason i purchased an ipod is so i wouldnt have to waste cds transfering stuff from my friends computer to mine. I probably get like 10 gigs worth of stuff everytime i go over. For it being an mp3 player is just plus for me.

Everyone has their reasons and not everyone is getting them because everyone else is.

[youm0nt Veteran]

there alot of ipods at my school too.i really dont mind though.

[oik]

"ipod is just a fad!"

[thetechroom]

We have about 50 people in our year group (small school).

There are 8 iPods (20GB Versions) 2 iPod minis 2 Philips Hard Drive Based Mp3 Players a Creative Zen and one iRiver. Theres also an assortment of Mp3 Players and CD Players.

[goheels681]

Oh boo hoo.

People want decent mp3 players, and some don't have the songs to justify the space. Complaining about it is only complaining that you lost your "cool" factor by being the only person having one.

* plays the imperial march from starwars * :laugh: imperial pod troopers invading your skool :p

[Inertia]

i used to be more proud of mine than now, when all my friends have them.

[andy2004]

it made me realize though that apple has alot more to offer than ipods and i wouldnt mind looking at having an apple mac in future

[oldaccount1]

So b4 the holidays me and like 4 other kids at my school had iPods (that i knew of)

Yesterday was our first day back, and lo and behold, almost everysingle kid has an ipod. Out of close to 1000 studends like 1 in 8 had the tell tail white ipod headphones hanging from their ears.

585238647[/snapback]

Same here. About 5% of our student body has iPods...that I know of.

[Dacracka]

Same here. Seems like a lot more people at school are carting them around. A large part of it for me however is because of the new Apple store that opened up in the new mall where I live. It's only a matter of time before a few people are careless and they end up in the Lost and Found. :shifty:
