iriver was founded before the ipod was created. i get fed up when people say 'oh theyjust put an i infront of thier name to be like ipod.'
Before the ipod, there were not major MP3 players. i'm not denying that the ipod is popular. I'm saying that you can find people that belive the answer to all three questions is yes.
by the way, doesn't the ipod shuffle look like copying someone? like creative?
if 5 year olds can operate an ipod, go to ipod lounge and look at the number of people having problems. they must be really dumb then.
there were many MP3 player companies (iriver, creative, rio) around before the ipod.
iriver and creative are NOT copying ipod's look or design.
don't claim that thier MP3 players are ipod knock offs or generic ipods, because they're not.
yet people still claim that, and that's what pisses me off.
yes, trust me, a 5 years old kid do know how to play the music and navigate through the menu... lol, my little cousin just proved me right.
"go to ipod lounge and look at the number of people having problems. they must be really dumb then. "
well well well, problems will ipod? perhaps u're referring to the problems encountered while it's connected to the comp, and perhaps something to do with the ipod internal system?
cuz u know, if it is the case that adults dunno how to use ipod to listen to music, i really pity them, and i'd love to teach them how to. but... haha no wait. i shouldn't challenge you, there are ppl out there like that right? *cough* as u said.
"there were many MP3 player companies (iriver, creative, rio) around before the ipod."
haha i didn't say there aren't, just that hmm... what is there to discuss/ argue? im not challenging ipod is the first ever built mp3 player~. but since u have to emphasize on company. i can give u one statement, that im pretty darn sure i gota be right. if apple is the company for ipod. let me see... so u're saying iriver, create, rio... all these companies have already established during the early 80s?
wow! u're the man! i nvr knew that!
"iriver was founded before the ipod was created. i get fed up when people say 'oh theyjust put an i infront of thier name to be like ipod.'"
i agree with u, even though i didn't check out the history, cuz i trust u. but well most ppl dun say "oh they just put an i in dront of their name to be like ipod", they say "oh they just put an i in front of their names to be like apple products[B]".
anyway, great that u corrected me and told me all these. really appreciate it.
