Eat shit iPod!

[Corrosion]

So as some of you know, I have been eagerly awaiting my iRiver this whole week. Well it came today. I am here to explain to you how the overhyped piece of shit iPod is horrible and worthless compared to the iRiver H320.

Ok, first of all, let's start with price. I payed 294$ (US) after tax and shipping from FuturePowerPC.com. Ipod from FuturePowerPC? $300. That's not much of a price difference, and that is exactly why the iRiver shines. It is not hyped by the whole pop culture across America.

Now, let me go over the all the extra features you get when you put an extra 6 dollars in your pocket:


Battery life: iRiver's 16 hours compared to iPod's measely 10 hours (NOTE: PERSONALLY TESTED BY ME)
Beautiful COLOR screen
Video Playback (With an easy firmware upgrade)
Radio
An excellent case that gives you access to all of the ports and buttons
Drag and Drop compatibality (No more having to use retarded programs)
The option to make your own customizable skins and put them on in less than 2 minutes.


And those are the features that are not included with the iPod but are mastered by the guys behind the iRiver.

Now for the pictures:

Hopefully when I send my iHP 120 back in for RMA they will get mixed up and send me back an H320

They gimped out on all the cool acessories that the iHP1xx series got, I only got a case, an output cord, and headphones. No external mic or remote. :(

I quote myself from the BOHICA forums when I say:

But everyone has an iPod already, whats the point of showing off something everyone has already seen time and time again.

I might want an iPod for several reasons:
They are small (minis anyways)
They hold lots of songs
They look really cool
Maybe i dont want to show it off... maybe i just like it? posibly...(sp?)

also, why do you want to watch an episode of family guy on your MP3 Palyer? could cause sight problems, squinting for so long. It also wastes valuable music storage, which is why we have these devicese, is it not?

This isn't intended to offend, merely a warning; you sound like the fanboi personified.

I made the horrible mistake of purchasing an iPod. If I ever get another Mp3 player it'll have to be the iRiver.

[Hamma]

I was messing with an iriver the other day, not a bad little device.

But my Treo 650 phone can also play mp3's :rofl:

[Ivan]

You have one of these?

why? worst that happened with mine is i lost my songs, after foolishly reformating the computer, plugging the ipod in, and pressing format... and since all my music is legally on CDs, i have nothing to worry about

[ViperGTS]
