[QUOTE=redBadger;45937230]People still use mp3 players?[/QUOTE] Sometimes simpler is better.
[QUOTE=Saber15;45937327]I used my Zune (yes) to control the stereo in my car until the tape deck ([url=http://i.imgur.com/GduO4Vo.jpg]yes[/url]) died.[/QUOTE] Don't feel bad, brother. Car zunes are nothing to be ashamed of.
[QUOTE=Sungrazer;45936929]That's fuckin' brilliant actually.[/QUOTE] I have been thinking of doing this myself because it is annoying getting phone notifications when listening to music.
[QUOTE=Sungrazer;45936929]That's fuckin' brilliant actually.[/QUOTE] Not a bad idea, Instead of paying hundreds of dollars for a phone, I rather upgrade my PC and buy the Nokia.
[QUOTE=Saber15;45937327]I used my Zune (yes) to control the stereo in my car until the tape deck ([url=http://i.imgur.com/GduO4Vo.jpg]yes[/url]) died.[/QUOTE] How do those things even work, anyway?
[QUOTE=SoaringScout;45935423]Please no. I don't want the only MP3 players around to be either gimmicky or extremely expensive. Smartphones and iPod Touches don't have enough space to support some peoples' libraries.[/QUOTE] Buy an iPod classic right now, then. 160 gigs. I love mine. I havent used it in a while actually since I've had spotify for the last 6 months, but I really wanna load up my library on it again
I'm really bummed out because I actually bought some of the cooler track wheel games on my iPod classic. When they discontinued support for them, not only could I not redownload them from iTunes, it made it so they didn't work on my iPod. They effectively stole the games back from me.
RIP commercial crapware host I could never afford to begin with.

[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;45936086]what apple has shown today can be summed up like this for me: lmao they're still dumb as fuck in the end yet they still manage to pull in the revenue because consumers are dumber apple are still behind the competition in every way and they only thing they have going for them is product design which they pull off very nice, which encourages everyone else to catch up with them, that's it, they're not innovative technically, all they can do is make up some sharp curves in photoshop and slap some myriad or helvetica on it and call it design i say this because their marketing is top notch bait yet still it's hilarious looking, spotting and listening to the buzzwords; in addition to the heavily edited pictures, sharp typefaces etc. the only thing worthwhile apple has done for me was the ipod classic specifically, and now i don't give a fuck and i want to see apple fail so hard now never change apple, never change[/QUOTE] Jesus christ could you be any more superior? People use products because they like them. I prefer OSX to Windows and iOS to Android, but that doesn't make me stupid, and I don't think you're stupid for using the alternative. Apple make products that some people like. Get over it. You sound like a 14 year old who just discovered atheism or something.

I fucking loved my zune 8, zune 120 and my zune HD.
[QUOTE=booster;45936727]I'd love to just have one of those simple USB mp3 players, where you just plugged it in and moved over the files. I think Creative made them back in the day.[/QUOTE] I have a walkman version of those which costed me £30 and had 6GB of storage. For half a decade of service its worked well enough.
the great thing about ipod classics vs iphones is that if someone tries to steal it from you, it can be employed as a fucking brick to beat the shit out of them

[QUOTE=.Lain;45941872]lol you are sad[/QUOTE] you're still going on about it honestly at end of this i could not give a fuck if you wanna wrap an iphone around your dick go ahead if you wanna wrap a nexus around your dick go ahead if you wanna wrap a lumia around your dick go ahead there are better things to be doing than sitting around arguing the merits of a particular piece of technology to someone who's so entrenched in their way of thinking :^)
[QUOTE=.Lain;45941445]wow, you sure told all of those qualified tech journalists with years of experience! i wish i had thought of posting the 'iphone-troll.jpg' image before[/QUOTE] Why not point out why that picture is wrong (if it is) instead of making some lame sarcastic remark.
what makes you think an image claiming that the nexus 4 is an equivalent to the iphone 6 is even worth talking about [editline]10th September 2014[/editline] like if you even have an inkling about phone hardware/software you would know why that image is stupid
Haha, the number of people in this thread posting with no capitals or punctuation and trying to defend their precious phone hardware while being super sarcastic/edgy is hilarious.
[QUOTE=Zatar963;45942000]Haha, the number of people in this thread posting with no capitals or punctuation and trying to defend their precious phone hardware while being super sarcastic/edgy is hilarious.[/QUOTE] The autism in this post is too much for me tbh. What a supreme gentleman. There, I've used 6 pieces of punctuation, have you jizzed into your fedora yet?
Supporting Apple is support of paying more for less. When I see people paying for Apple products, it's quite infuriating because they are supporting themselves being screwed over with ridiculous profit margins. I'm like that with just about everything, but Apple is the pinnacle of marketing defining the price as opposed to the device itself.
