Who Designed This Crap? The Great Ipod Scam
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006 | News, Speakers and Sound Card Reviews
Not everyone likes the Ipod, but in an article at Tomshardware the author outlines the reasons why he doesn’t really support the Ipod thing.
Amongst the complaints are that it gets really scratched up really easily. Although they are not expected to last forever, they don’t even last for a few days really. They may be usable, but are not as cool as when you first got it. There is also little support for third party casings for them.
Issues with the Digital Rights of the media come into play too. It is certainly not the easiest and definitely not the best when it comes to ease of use as it places a lot of restrictions on use.
The cuteness of the name with a lower case “i” is also made fun of.
One of the other complaints it that unlike many other consumer products like printers, where the real profit is in the inks and the printers themselves are really cheap, Ipods are still quite expensive in comparisson.
Discussions are fast and furious at the site. Looks like he’s not the only one with an opinion on the matter.
