Eat shit iPod!


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:
