I'm glad I purchased my iPod touch over other mp3 players mainly because it has wi-fi. Since my college has wi-fi everywhere, I find myself constantly using the iPod's internet capability wherever I go. And recently my laptop charger got fried, so I was able to temporarily use my iPod as my main internet access (whenever I can't use the school's computers). It has been a saving grace. I often am disappointed by its poor contrast ratio/screen quality which I'm sure the P3 or Cowon PMPs can easily best. But in the end the inclusion of wi-fi has won me over. If other PMPs included wi-fi, then I would have easily gotten those over an iPod touch, but I knew how important it is to have internet and with so few PMPs including web browsing capability, I didn't have much choice.
IMO, poor excuses like "i'll use my cell phone" just doesn't cut it. It's like saying "Oh, since that doesn't have X,Y, and Z, I'll use devices A, B, C to do X, Y, Z." Yea, have fun carrying so many devices with you.
Can't stand this bias crap. You guys are all against Apple just because it's Apple, you're not trying to understand the real case here. This complaint is only a red herring to the real issue. Psystar is arguing they have the right to distribute the software because they are consumers of the product, which is bull crap. This problem in actuality is Psystar modifying the code of OS X and reselling it, which is illegal. It's like plagiarism: changing the work of someone else's and presenting it as your own. But of course, the Apple haters here can't get past their biasm to understand the issue. Have fun hating and being close-minded.
wow engadget is seriously full of apple hater and seriously makes the Windows community look bad. Way to be close minded guys. You people are all against Apple just because it's Apple. You guys are not trying to understand the full legal issue. The problem here is Psystar presenting a red herring to the real case, which is the alteration of the OS X code. By arguing that they, as consumer of the software, have legal rights to distribute the OS is crap. In reality they are selling back an altered version of the OS (the work-around to Apple hardware detection), which is illegal. That's like plagiarism: modify someone else's work and presenting it as your own.
I seriously can't stand this bias crap. You people are just as horribly zealous as Apple fanboys. But what do I know. Continue being part of some mindless drones. Whatever.
Does this have a web browser? I'm looking for an alternative for the iPod touch but if this doesn't have one, then I guess I'll just buy the touch. Oh yeah, I looked on the official site, and it doesn't show it has a web browser. :-(
As for the sound, I'm not an audiophile so I can't distinguish between 192kps mp3 and WAV (I'm sure most people can't either), therefore I don't care about the sound quality in comparison.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
