Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
They are a student?
It is a student
Yes I know. I was joking....
My joke = fail
You were a joking. Get your japanese->american translation correct. geez ^^
She is my wife. Lol.
Any codec eh? What about flac?
those random writing is a tell-tale sign of the beginning of a porn in classroom setting.
u've seen too many porns lettcco. =]
No such thing.
Wow, that case design screams late 80's/90's.
You can always spot an Apple fan a mile away....they are always more concerned about what a device looks like, and in turn what others think of their hardware, instead of how it actually functions. Fuck some snappy color. This is no different then my old Jornada 565 (I think it was 565.) The thing doesn't scream LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I'M EVER SO SPECIAL!
Hey, man, you should think better before saying it.
In fact Apple stuff doesn't just looks nice – they are also very easy and instintive to use. I think THIS is to think of how a device "actually functions". That's why Ipods keep being top-sellers... even if they're not the most resourceful PMP around.
The only reason why iPods are top sellers is because, well, they're called iPods.
Engadget's tastes must be much more refined than mine, because I see nothing wrong with the "aesthetics" of this device.
I agree whole heartedly. it's not flashy, but who cares. I want to watch the screen not the unit.
Yeah I agree, this doesn't look bad.. not exactly the best-looking device, but it does the job (unlike many, many Chinese PMPs out there)
And I agree with groverkent too, I'll be listening to my Vorbis (OGG) music collection... not looking at the device..
I see something very wrong with the "functionality" (why are we quoting words?) of Windows CE 5.0. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
again engadget is showing how anything apple in their eyes is poo. if it looked more like an i______ they would rip on it for being a sub par apple clone. since it will do much more than any apple pmp plus has ce on it so you can do other things as well, they will rip into it for any reason they can. this site for phones and pmp players any more is pretty much worthless in the reporting they do, they probably have a script to write/fill in the form the use for anything non-apple"
Actually Matt, Paul makes no mention of an Apple product in his article. YOU are the one who brings Apple up. Read what he wrote. He says "you might as well make sure that hunk of plastic accidentally looks like one of iriver's recent gems." iRiver does not mean Apple, even though it has an "i" in front of it. People on here are so quick to try to rip "Apple Fanboys" that they're starting to attack those who don't even mention Apple.
the comments were aimed more towards the fact that anything that doesn't have the all mighty fruit plastered on it is lackluster or sucks somehow. and yes the writers on engadget are apple biased very heavily. if you can not see that then you must be completely blind
anyway you missed completely what i said originally, no matter what it is, if it is not the fruit the writers soooooooo much love it will not get a good review here.
I am impressed by this device's specs and it looks very decent to me. I would rather have this device than an iPod Classic.
Actually... the screen shows Korean to English translations... whats up with that?!?
Er.. cuz it's sold in Korea? lol.
you should seriously learn to read.
Just so ya's know,.......... here are da' specs AND the source: http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/?p=332
Yup Yup!
actually, interestingly enough, the text on the screen is not japanese, but rather korean. but that doesn't go to say that it makes sense...
You're seriously depressed by the "aesthetics" here? Oh, come on, it's attractive!
For that price I rather buy another Axim X51v at ebay and get a 32gb cf from Newegg. For $350 I'm getting compatibility with every codec under the sun, a vga screen, a2dp, etc...
