Hooray, pay $100 more because it's an "Ipod"
Congratulations on being tools to the Apple empire. For god sakes, it was an mp3 player before it was an "ipod" so why in the hell do they still go with the slang "podcasts?" I hate the sickening way that apple markets their Ijunk. like zomg, you're not even living unless you have one of these. You're clearly not in the "Itime"
Har har, like how I added the letter I before something because I thought I was cool and catchy like Apple. Their marketing people should be shot, and the people who fall for their marketing crap should be shot along with them.
I hate the "Apple community."
You said it dude. I hate how my MacBook & MacPro work so much more fluidly and powerfully for the programs I use at work and at home. It sucks so much that their operating system makes infinitely more sense and works more elegantly than the Windows machines I used to work on.
And I can't believe how people would want to pay $50 - $100 more for an mp3 player or cell phone/PDA that has a better interface, smoother compatibility with other devices, and is just flat out more fun to use.
I can't imagine who gets sucked into that crap. It's the same dummies who buy these "Saabs" or "Audis" or "BMWs" and whatever. Can't you all just buy a Chevy Cobalt like real men? For god's sake they all have steering wheels.
....Seriously though, i think I was just being an "iDick" too (to borrow the phrase). But anyhow, you're correct that sometimes an Apple product does cost more than other comparable products. But, I have used both Apple products and their comparable competitor's products extensively, and based on frequent,
frequent use, I couldn't tell you a single time that the Apple product didn't SIGNIFICANTLY outperform the rest.
It has nothing to do with marketing. (Well, maybe a little cause they're freaking good at it) But it has to do with the fact that whether you want to believe it or not, 9 times out of 10 Apple makes a better product than their competitors in my, and many many others', opinion.
