That's cute, but people picked it up from the relentless attempts by Apple fanatics, who made it a sport over the years, of always claiming that every PMP was an "ipod ripoff", now they just are branching out into calling everything with a touch screen an iPhone/Touch ripoff. Engadget, and other sites, in their effort to cater to those fanatics, started to use the same point in their postings.

Now it happens so often that people anticipate them and mock the practice by, in this case, wondering where the expected talking point is.

I am as surprised as a lot of people that they didnt do it. A return to maturity perhaps?]]>Mar 17th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/*cough*]]>Mar 18th 2008 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/
That means the player itself only supports mp3 and MTV and you need to convert all the other formats....

I mean, if you really had the other codecs on player, you wouldn't need that crappy chinese MTV thing, no one would use it, there's no point on including it..]]>Mar 17th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 18th 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/
would of been a nice design if is silver border was see through though]]>Mar 17th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/Mar 17th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/17/soundstreams-x-ite-mp28-codec-happy-touchscreen-player/FLAC = good http://www.flac.sourceforge.net
Ogg = good http://www.vorbis.com
APE = good

Can't say I prefer touchscreens or embedded batts, but gotta give credit where it's due. Nice codec support. With any luck it sounds good and is priced sanely for those looking for something like this.]]>Mar 17th 2008 11:40PM
