I guess if I start with all the reasons I have stood firmly by PCs and hated Macs... it would be something like this: - Macs are way over priced - Why in the world would you spend more money on a machine that can only run a tiny percentage of th…

Does someone in the PC world make a notebook with similar features, size, etc. as the iBook for just over $1,000? I fully intended to get a super small laptop from a PC manufacturer... but couldn't find anything with the same form factor as an iBoo…

I guess I wasn't entirely clear when I said sub $1000 range. The thread is generally talking the $500-$600 range... I should have been more specific. My point being offering a good product at a reasonable price... basically saying that I don't thi…

Hasn't the iPod become a major source of revenue for Apple? It would make sense for them to pour their advertising $$ into keeping it on top... especially in the wake of other manufacuturers coming out with players just as good at significantly che…

12" iBook anybody? Just over $1100, $1200 with an Airport Extreme card. Real firewire (not one of those little useless non-powered thingys)... two USB 2.0 ports, combo drive, 32MB ATI GPU... all of this in a super slim and tiny package. The only …

If all else fails... perhaps people could get to know the real Wal-Mart and learn what Wal-Mart has to do to their suppliers and employees so Joe Consumer can save a few cents on a song or a new pair of underwear. Unfortunately... most people will …

I noticed you're just looking for peoples age (36 here by the way)... although lots have offered which iPod they have also. If you're trying to determine a "target market"... you're going to need alot more info than that... and as someone posted ea…

Well... I only have the one USB cable and the one Firewire cable that came with the Mini. I have to use the firewire to charge it on my PC (because I want to just charge it on there (meaning I don't want it connecting as a drive and spinning up)...…

Anyone try this with a Mini? I know they're pretty similar to their bigger brother. Oh... by the way... can anyone tell me how to post an image here? I know I can post a link to it... but when I try to actually insert an image into a post... …

I know the drives are super quiet now... so I guess it might jut be hard to hear... a little drive activity indicator would be cool. Anyway, I thought I could disable the USB device in the Device Manager (Windows)that way I could just charge it wit…

Yeah yeah yeah... I ordered it online... and I couldn't find any details (meaning if it did... or if it didn't come with anything else)... I'd have gotten it anyway... but I would have gotten the other stuff as well if I was able to find out whether…

If I'm not mistaken... if you set up your Mini on a Mac... it gets formatted as HTFS... if you set it up on a PC... it gets set up as FAT32. You won't be able to access the drive on any device that requires a FAT (or FAT32)if it's formatted in HTF…
-
Yeah... chances are it's just formatted in a way the camera can't read it. Nothing special about the drive itself.

Kind of interesting regarding pricing issues. The best selling "mini" hard drive player has been the Rio Nitrus. Now... when that came out only about six or seven months ago... it was released at a price of $299. That was for a 1.5GB drive. Shor…

This is nothing new.. but Wal-Mart keeps it's costs so low by strong arming suppliers and doing everything possible to screw over their employees. I've made it a point to not get anything from them for a number of years now... since this was all ai…

Battery... battery... battery !!! Ugg!!! I can't believe I'm even taking time to write about this again... but in the hopes that people might read it... here goes... You'll have these same threads in just about every digial audio player forum…

I think the real key here is what you plan on using the machine for. If it's going to be gaming... then you're going to need more power... you're looking at a high-end Powerbook with lots of memory. If you're going to be downloading MP3 files, doi…
