is300eater

Mark & Brian-KLOS but they're syndicated nationwide

Anachostic

Or buy any Sansa. I own a few Clips and they are great.

My Rio Karma is still rockin....

is300eater

Miz, that AOL radio app is pretty damn cool

it has an ALL Metallica station

lol dude

Anachostic

Um. And touchscreen, and web browsing, and wireless sync, and apps. It's not an outrageous suggestion, but the old Zune 4/8 is a more direct competitor as far as form factor.

Whiskers

No love for the radio, huh....

Anachostic

Well, I'll credit Apple that they did do the radio right, when they did get to it. If you couldn't tag songs for later download like you can in Zune, that would have been one more attack vector for fanboys. I don't know if you can bookmark stations, though.

This shit is hysterical!!!! I lost it when hitler's underling tries to defend the iPod touch as great gaming machine! I've seen like every version of these and this is one of the best!

Mizouse

those are so overplayed.

#1 STUNNA

I disagree. If they're good then they aren't. Some of them are meh but some are great. Like this one.

CocheseUGA

This. So tired.

Anachostic

Good concept, poor execution. I gave up halfway through because the subtitles were so poorly matched to the dialog. And the subtitle fade in/out? What's up there?

OMG it's not just me!! One thing I dislike about Apple Keynotes is that they overuse adjectives. I swear they can't once mention a noun without putting an descriptive word in front of it. Everything is awesome, amazing, incredible, beautiful, gorgeous,remarkable, and unbelievable. Even the most basic shit they try (but fail) to make seems as if what they're showing you is the greatest shit you'll ever see in your life. ever.

It so fucking annoying, Phil Schiller is the worst!

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! Just saying they're the greatest shit ever doesn't make them the greatest shit ever!

People will believe anything if it's presented to them well. that's one of the reasons Hilter took power. that guys speeches where incredible, amazing, remarkable. It was something he practiced and was mentored by a great presenter to get it down right.

p.s. no I'm not comparing Steve Jobs, obama or apple to hitler or his ideals don't say any stupid shit like that. I'm just giving an extreme example of what a great presentation can do at convincing people. that dude spit hot FIRE!!!

p.s.s. while I'd like to choose a better example than hitler as a great speaker, I can't think of anyone else besides obama and Jobso. I guess JFK wasn't bad, people loved him too. but I know only that one inauguration speech.

Sarlacc

oh for fucks sake. Stunna keep it in your MS dick sucking thread for the zune.

your incessant chatter is worse than any apple fanboy.

Take your own advice and shut the fuck up already.

Anachostic

It's not just iPod vs. Zune, MS vs. Apple, it's more of a weariness of amped-up, one-sided marketing. I'm not too familiar with your profession, but I suppose it could be similar to Pixar vs. DreamWorks, where the capabilities of each was trashed by the other, when both are capable in their own ways. Maybe you would feel a stronger emotional connection with that argument because it's in your field of expertise.

Yes, the goal of marketing is to make yourself appear better, but there needs to be some dynamic. As a cultured audiophile, you understand this. If there's no dynamic range, the sound is fatiguing, and so it is with Apple's demonstrations.

The other issue that inspires a post is the closed-minded attitude of the fanbase from both camps. It's difficult to counter a misinformed, distorted, or biased post while appearing neutral, because concession of any valid point equates to complete victory in their view - they ignore any countering points in the response, or reverse the fanboy argument towards the responder.

The Zune thread does talk about pros and cons of Zune and Microsoft and admittedly, I have been posting more gripes as of late. I also have contributed pros and cons to this thread. Stunna's observation of the mild brainwashing tactics used by Apple is appropriate in this thread. If you want to counter the observation, you can do so, or you can put Stunna on the Ignore list.

so this years iPod event is scheduled for Wednesday September 1st at 10am PST.

Apple is expected to announce a new iPod Touch with facetime camera, a rumored redesign of the Apple TV called iTV and priced at $99. As well as 99cent TV show rentals.

ohh and i would assume updates on the status for iOS4 for iPad.

I'm semi-interested in the iPod Touch, the other stuff, not so much.

is300eater

wouldn't it be better to announce it on 10/10/10?

CocheseUGA

Interested to see what iTV will offer.

Mizouse

i guess so. but i think it was just a coincidence that last year it fell on 9/9/2009.

they typically as far as i know they hold the event in early september.

Mizouse

me too, but i think maybe a mac mini hooked up to a TV would suit me better.

is300eater

Oh, I see

Whiskers

Doesn't Apple have enough of my money?

BigLizard

They're losing money from research and biased claims. Spend more please.

disappointments. no 1080p.

CocheseUGA

What I would be using it for, I don't need it. For 1080p, I'll eventually get a nettop.

Doom878

Does the old AppleTV have a built in wireless router? If it competes with the Roku and has built in wireless and I can stream Netflix, Pandora, etc, then I'll seriously consider it.

Belzebutt

If you want 1080p buy a cheap Windows laptop with HDMI out and use Media Center. That can handle every video format on earth.

Mizouse

is the apple TV able to stream stuff from netflix, youtube, etc?
and can it play mkv and divx?

if not, maybe ill just pick up that newly announced sony netbox.
