mrogers Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 IMHO, the iPod is overrated. There are better products on the market. The thing is the ad campaign of the iPod is one that actually works. And now that tons of people have them, others see that, and want them. Heck, now they even have famous(ish) people like Eminem promoting their products. 586762429[/snapback] Famous(ish)? What's this "ish" stuff? U2 is only sort of famous? You're right that their ad campaign is very good though, but in the beginning I think iPods took off on their own merits. I love mine, and I don't give a damn that so many people have them. As something of an interface designer myself, I can greatly appreciate elegance and efficiency in design, and I've tried at least a dozen other MP3 players and none come close to the iPod. Everything has its flaws, the iPod included, but I don't think the iPod is overrated. I think Apple managed to hit pretty close to the sweet spot.

nickg78 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 These days I plan to change my iPod mini with another MP3 player. I was thinking about iPod nano, but what I don't like with iPods is that they don't have FM radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jexel Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ipods are too overrated. When people start getting them just to look 'cool' you know something's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlibbyFlobby Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I don't have one, nor want one. iPod is driven by advertising, not the features and quality of the product; going by those critieria I could get a much better player for my money.
