apowerr Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The Zune was a big screw up on MS's part but... "Explosively popular iPhone and iPod Touch." I understand them saying that about the iPhone, but iPod touch? Ewww. I still don't get why the iPod Touch uses flash and not a hard drive!!!

R2k. Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 nobody knows why,but people just love apples` products especially ipods. ~R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayanami Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Flash drives won't go bad nearly as quickly as a hard drive does. There's probably data transfer pros to using flash as well. And they're smaller, and if you haven't noticed, Mr. Jobs is trying to make everything at Apple as small as he possibly can. Maybe he's secretly trying to let us know something about himself.....

I have a vast media collection (I recently converted all my DVDs to mp4) and storage is a must, so I am buying the 80GB classic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit cheaper.... I want a 160 gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but, the 80G classic is a lot thinner than the 80G Video and I love the new interface. So I am going to stick with a new classic I want a 160 gig. Wow. That's a lot of entertainment.

U.C. Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I am happy to say, I have yet to meet anyone who bought a Zune. All my friends have iPods. iPods have the cool factor. Zunes have the geek({censored}) factor. Thus iPods sell much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFI Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I still don't get why the iPod Touch uses flash and not a hard drive!!! There are several reasons for that actually : - overall smaller form factor due to thinner HD space - faster read/write access - longer lasting/more durable - better shock-proof than a traditional spin up drive etc. Plus, SSD is really the way of the future, essentially. The only sad part is that the space is a bit limiting now, but once that clears out in (imo) 1-2 years....I'm sure we'll be seeing 200+ Gb of solid state drives on the market, most likely also in the future iPods. Unless your a hardcore music junkie, then I would assume 16Gb to be more than enough for music, and a few videos (which includes podcasts). I myself have 3,000 songs, and it barely even scratches the 7Gb limit for music on my (now obsolete by 9 days ) 5.5G 30Gb iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I totally concur with EFI on this one , i think those are very good reasons btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 if i got a 160 gb, i would partition it and back up xD iPods go funny when you partition then, so I don't recommend doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 iPods go funny when you partition then, so I don't recommend doing it wait, maybe that wasnt such a good idea, dont ipods have a hd that is rated to last for 20,000 while the ones in our computers last for 200,000? i read that here somewhere...
