Similar to the mac stock wallpaper stones, but no screen = no buy thanks
are you serious,
you look at the picture and you associate the stones with Apple?
thats fanboy-ism at its finest.
(Disclaimer: I have a MacbookPro and a iPod and everything. I like Apple products and all....)
nicely-priced to say the least.
No love for AAC?
No one loves AAC but Apple. If they did I and had HD's larger then 80GB I would have dropped the iPod's ass years ago.
Jon, newer Sony players, Creative Zen and the Samsung P2 also accept AAC. Also the Zune.
when will companies realize that making pmp's shaped like stones
is Not good industrial design
why is that?
i'm not trying to argue that it is....
i personally like it, but its really personal preference.
and the stone shape.... theres a creative zen stone, i think its funny samsung couldn't copy and they changed the name to pebble.
And why not? This may sound a bit, err perv-y or something, but ever find yourself inadvertantly touching your phone while it's on the table, or in your hand? How about fidgeting around with your keys while they're in your hand? I think it's interesting that they moved away from 'box with rounded edges' to 'rounded edges are fun to touch, let's make it like a rock or pebble. ' Industrial design is more than just being about how something looks...
No love for FLAC?
those things rock!
I see what you did there.
2:1 odds Deutsche Telekom sues Samsung over use of Pebble name.
Actually ₩49,000 is a little less than $49.
The won has been hurting since February..
So has the Dollar?
@ Rynth
The Korean Won has taken a bigger hit. Last year the exchange rate was low as 930won to $1. Now it's 1020won to $1. The Korean economy relies on us to buy to their gadgets, so a recession in the US can hurt Korea more than other countries.
Ahh yes, OGG support, with 1GB of memory. I'll be able to get at least 3 songs on there.
So one cannot clip this to his/her shirt? not a very good design other than the circular control pad... :-p
the capacity is a bit of a cop-out!
Can't wait for the motorola law suit.
Didn't Motorola have a Pebble phone with a similar ad campagin?
Oh, it comes out finally.
It's good design (shiny red) with moderate price.
Small size & no LCD, umm.. it would be just suitable for music.
Anyway, I'll try it out first.
I like this design... any news on when it is for sale? I've seen eBay, and they are about $70 now.
I have one! But it simply will not let me download it onto my computer! HELP. Anyone plz let me know if you know how to install them. I have the CD but it still will not work.
