podcasting is pretty much downloading a radio program and listening it offline on your MP3 player.

Am leaning on the 20GB model cause of the price though the $100 difference makes it tempting even though I could get a 3.5" 200GB PATA HDD for the same price.

ipod are worth the money, the customer service is brillient. u buy one, u can get them replaced as many times as u need.

but consider sony's ones, much smaller

evoWALO · June 28th, 2005, 05:27 PM

i like sony but they have this hangup with ATRAC or something or rather. Being forced to convert files sucks,.

jasonchiu · June 28th, 2005, 06:03 PM

also its best to get the 20/30GB ipods coz they're not as thick =D

That depends on where you by them. I have read several times in danish newspapers that people are complaining about rubbish customer service and no replacement when it brakes images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

Jep, I read about it a couple of weeks ago. In Denmark you have 2 years right to claim compensation for defective product, but they just say that it is normal wear and tear, or that you caused it, and then you have to pay yourself.

andyhui01 · June 28th, 2005, 11:44 PM

why replace your 3rd gen... I'm sticking with it until my Apple care protection plan finishes and my iPod dies... I don't like the latest scroll wheel at all, I tried using my bro's 4gb iPod for a week and having that click sound everytime you do something was just annoying
