sure, there are threads in the technology forum about ipods; but none specifically for debating.
so here's the setup: the apple ipod is the most popular portable music player in the United States. the word ipod has become synonomous with a hard drive device, like xerox because synonymous with copy machine. However; the ipod was not the first MP3 player. They were not the first Hard drive player. The only thing that the ipod had that others didn't was the scroll wheel. basically; the ipod was, and still is, priced higher than other similar competitors. yet is the reason why it dominates is that it is actually a good portable music player, or is it becuase of clever advertising, it's status as a status symbol, and the mass stupidity of many? |

Hmm...iPod is a bit overpriced but they do it because they know we will buy it and they can. Yes, those iPod commercials helped them out along with celebs endorsing their products.
However, in my opinion Apple has always been extremely high look at Macs compared to PCs, but their design is so nice and the quality is good. If I could afford it I would get it. If I was on my last dollar, I go to something less fancy. A load of crap is overpriced these days, iPod is not an exception. Stop making it out to be so bad. |
