well, i have a 3g 20gb ipod, and i like it, but whenever i see the photo i mostly like how it shows album art. I say ipod photo. but if you are willing to stray away from apple, check out the iAudio M3 (no screen but remote with screen) or the iAudio M5 (nice color screen) both are about the size of an ipod

I agree. The iAudio M3 is a very nice product. I'm listening to music on it right now, and the output is very high quality. It also supports a wide variety of audio files.

I haven't tried either the M5 or the iPod Photo, so I can't give you any sort of comparison.

If you are able to dish out a lot of cash into a DAP then I suggest you get an iAudio X5.

Take a look at iRiver products instead, H320 or H340

It's colour, does Photo and plays video, and cheaper than the standard iPlod

And it's better quality, and it plays Ogg Vorbis, WAV and other formats Apple refuse to move to, and it's not DRM locked*, and it can encode MP3 on the fly, and it has a built in FM radio, and it doesn't need a computer, and it doesn't need software like the iPod, and you can plug digital cameras straight into it (USB on the go), and it works on Any PC without pre-installation, and it works like plugging in a USB hard drive (no special format, it's FAT32 so works on anything).

Oh, and it's cheaper.

Don't follow the rest of the sheep, move to the dark side ;)

(* if you don't know what DRM is, wait till you buy the iPlod and kick yourself you wished you'd bought a iRiver)

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.

      You could disable this "functionality/feature/whatever" with 2 registry keys, ages ago.
