ipod is $200 for 8gig 2.0 inch screen
sandisk is $150 for the 8gig 2.4inch screen

why did i just pay an extra $90?
because i got a better player that is worth the extra $90 from a company that i trust and believe in.

This is my fourth iRiver mp3 player in the last 8 years. I will NEVER buy another brand of portable player also long as they are still selling them. they are by far the best brand of players on the market.. no forget that.. they are in a market on their own. They are one of the few sellers that don't cripple their players and also you to use them as a hard drive to copy to and from the player like you can any other removable media.

ipod and sandisk don't release new firmware very often and never had new features after a product launch
ipod and sandisk are not AMOLED screen
ipod and sandisk don't have digital FM tuner (that you can record from)
ipod and sandisk don't let you delete files from the player away from the computer
ipod and sandisk don't have variable speed playback
ipod and sandisk don't have variable speed ffwd and rewind
ipod and sandisk don't have microphones (maybe new ipod?)
ipod and sandisk don't have let you control the quality of your recordings or auto pause when there is no sound
ipod and sandisk don't let you control the duration of the alarm clock sound
ipod and sandisk don't have a built in book reader with features like font control and auto scroll and auto scroll speed.


i could do on and on but i'll stop there.

Its the same reason why i don't shop at the dollar store for my garden tools. if i wanted crap it would buy crap and expect to pay less for it. the ipod and sandisk are NOT UMS players.. anything that isn't UMS is crap.
It's worth the extra money for the extra quality

You paid an extra $90 because you believe all that to be true, good for you. The rest of us will actually exercise a little common sense whilst purchasing our DAPs.]]>Sep 12th 2007 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 12th 2007 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/
i'm still using my oldschool iriver ifp-799.. it's smaller than the cord windup thing for my sennheiser hd202 headphones but i love the sound despite the appearance.. my gf's cowon iaudio5, the sound quality is a notch better..

if you can check out the mp3 players most people have in korea, not many have ipods or want them :) the knock off (china) brands and various korean brands (iriver, cowon, mpio, lg, samsung... and more that dont get exported i think) have it all.. either for less or a larger heap of features.. and if you think 24hrs of battery life is good (as the article says), there are players here with over 100hrs ;)

some of the mp3 players (not ipod) also support usb otg.. and i've played with the cowon iaudio x5 which also has a dual pane file browser for copying files.. so much out there fanboys dont know about.. of course not all care.. but there are some who do

one other note, i'm not aware of sandisks supporting asian languages (or anything else).. at least the ones sold in america.. other brands (ipod included) support them all out of the box..]]>Sep 12th 2007 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 12th 2007 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/
The rest of the stuff... you're right it doesn't have, but most of that is fairly trivial gripes.]]>Sep 13th 2007 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/You are soooo right. I just got one for my daughter,
she has had an iriver mp3 player for more than 5 years and loves the reliability and range of useage
for this magic machine.
Glad I bought her what was her ultimate for her birthday, the price is well worth it.

Seriously guys...iRiver players rock.

you can't remove part of a statement to change from true to false.
scandisk DOES NOT have a good book reader with all the functions that iriver has (or anything close to irivers feature list).. yes is does have a book reader, but that doesn't change my true statement to false..

please go back to grade school and learn basic logic.

Does anyone actually use either of these? You blow over $200 bucks to play your (ostensibly) paid for music and you're going to tune into some crappy commercial radio station?]]>Sep 12th 2007 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 12th 2007 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Actually, I use the FM radio on my mp3 player almost as much as my mp3s. It helps when you're on the train to work/school and want to hear the news or the current hits. Also, sometimes I'm sick of my music (all 20 gigs of it) and want something different. So the radio is quite useful. Also, if you can record from the radio (my iRiver H320 does) then even better cause when you like a song thats playing, you can just save it to mp3.

However, I agree with you on the voice recorder. I've never used it. I see people recording lectures with them sometimes though.]]>Sep 13th 2007 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 13th 2007 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 13th 2007 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 12th 2007 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 12th 2007 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 12th 2007 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Yeah for $60 more you could get a ipod
touch. For only $160 you could get
an 8gb Meizu m6 mini player that is a quality
player, and with a 2.4 screen :P

If you buy this at this price your crazy, lol]]>Sep 12th 2007 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/
Last time I checked Sandisk players are UMS. So are ipods, just the ipods cant read files put on it through drag and drop.

Now I like iriver players as much as the next guy but I will never be so blatently blind as you adam deaves. Your pathetic fanboyism disgusts me. I would tell you to go back to grade school but I know you are already there.]]>Sep 12th 2007 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/Sep 12th 2007 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/8gb-iriver-clix-now-available-in-us/I'm used to the obligatory 1:1 USD:EUR conversion rate that most manufacturers seem to employ but this is ridiculous.]]>Sep 12th 2007 10:25PM
