ok, so the touch shouldnt have wi-fi, you tube etc, everything we asked for?

If you dont like the touch get a classic or a nano. or even a shuffle or an older ipod off e-bay...

Uh...what?

I never said they shouldn't have those things but people expect the Touch to have the exact same features (minus the phone) as the iPhone. Why is that?

I think it's a bit **** they're charging for the Touch upgrade. Considering new ones will have it built in if I understood, it's just pure money greed. For those saying that it's a mp3 player, I'd say it's more. They included WiFi and other stuff into it, so the underlying technology is there. I think they just want people to buy the iPhone instead, but meh.

right but not everyone wants or needs a phone...

i hate cell phone contracts. they suck you in for 2 years and are way expenstive. Pre-paied or crickit FTW!

Can't see much problem with the rental prices, we pay more for overnight movies, and the max we can get is weekly movies, and it's around the same cost anyway.

Being able to keep it for 30 days is great.

$20 for the iPod update sucks though.

No, you can only keep it for 30 days BEFORE you watch it. Its 24 hrs from when you hit play.

How can that be true when netflix is starting to offer streaming for free with your monthly subscription?

What do you mean how can that be true? It all depends on contracts. We may never know why... all it took is one studio to say no and Apple had to go with what they wanted. But in this case, I doubt it was Apple. Look at iTunes, for the longest time Apple was the cheapest with music sales and has continually gone to bat for their customers so that price stays at .99. Why would they do anything different for video rentals?

Well, you don't really keep it for 30 days. If it's like Xbox Live, you have 30 days to watch it but once you start it, you only have 24 hours to view it.

Yeah I know what you mean, that's exactly why I don't want one. :)

actually, I disagree.

I've been looking at contract phones lately.

Right now, I'm on PAYG, and am topping up about ?20 - ?25 a month.

With a contract, I'll be paying the same or less (?20 a month), will be able to use the phone more (the minutes and text's in the contract will be more than the ?25 worth I use now), and will get a free phone aswell.

Or I can go to a store and rent a DVD I can only keep for 24 hours before I have to start paying $6 a day in overdue fees, or rent an older one and keep it for a week before I start paying overdue fees. (And why would i want to keep a rented movie for over a month before i watched it?)

iTunes is a better deal in that regard.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
