SabaTime Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I am going to be buying an ipod and money is not an issue. I was wondering is it worth it to buy the photo? or should I just by the regular version of the ipod?

MPD Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 The screen on the photo is a lot nicer, and you can view album art on it. Plus the hard drive is bigger. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/317801-ipod-or-ipod-photo/#findComment-585888488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bukowski Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/317801-ipod-or-ipod-photo/#findComment-585888497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

five04 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 get the photo... the color screen alone is worth it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/317801-ipod-or-ipod-photo/#findComment-585888520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

insurektion Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 id say wait a bit until they become the same thing (inevitable considering poor sales). But other than that (ie you wont wait do photo).

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.

Sarm Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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 ;) http://www.iriver.at/harddisc_player.html?...0&view=features (* if you don't know what DRM is, wait till you buy the iPlod and kick yourself you wished you'd bought a iRiver) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/317801-ipod-or-ipod-photo/#findComment-585889799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveoc64 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 The screen isn't visible when the backlight goes off. 585888628[/snapback] It is easily visible with no backlight. For the cost it is worth it to get the extra 10GB, 3 hours of battery life and the colour screen.
