Ok, sorry admin.... but is it ok if I repost the rest and just have them e-mail me if they want to take me up on my offer to pay their shipping?

Some friends of mine have the Nomad but I havent looked into it until you mentioned it. Looks like its way better than an iPod and has a lot more space on it. I mean, 60GB for $299! Thats how much 20GB iPods go for! I mean, the 40GB Nomad is $249. Sounds like a sweet deal. Plus they can hold actual documents from a computer and be used as an external harddrive not just a music player. Their Zen looks pretty sweet to.

My friend has a Nomad...it has a habit of dying and having to be reformatted. It's also bulkier and heavier than an iPod...I'd go with a mini, mostly because of the size.

This is a network marketing (is that the word in english?)

Lots of people here in Norway have been fooled in this game.

Stay away!

Rio Carbon is a better player than the iPod mini - bettery battery life, lighter, smaller, 1GB more space, and other reasons - see www.dapreview.com

Its also Rio's second generation mini player, they have been making mini-HDD players for at least 6 months longer than Apple.

But many people buy the iPods because they look very good. And from feelings, image +++. And there wins Apple.

Many of the other players are ugly compared to the iPods.

for the record, every ipod from the original through the shuffle has had this ability.

The carbon isn't ugly and smaller devices are made so you don't notice them. Its an audio device - main reason for having one is listening, not looking...

Sporting an ultra-thin and tapered design, and with 25 percent more memory than iPod® mini, this tiny MP3 player, about the size of a business card, will slide into any pocket virtually unnoticeable. The Rio Carbon is capable of holding up to 80 hours of MP3 (160 hours WMA) music**, and with up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge, music lovers need not worry about running out of juice. Supporting USB 2.0 and a host of file formats; users can download music efficiently and easily from most of their favorite online music sites. The Rio Carbon also includes voice recording and provides seamless integration and support of both the PC and Mac platforms.

My bad, thats just what I've been told from people at school that have them. Guess I should do more research next time.

can you only use i-tunes with an ipod?

I use iTunes on my computer without owning an iPod, granted I only use it for the dozens upon dozens of radio stations as well as a music library for my computer but if you buy music from their store you can only use it on a PC or an iPod, or so I've heard from some online places.

yeah I love i-tunes, but I was wondering if you could use a non-apple mp3 player with it.

EDIT-DUH! I just read my answer.

 

[binary visions]

Pyramid schemes suck.

Supporting them, even if you get a free iPod out of it, also sucks.

and :nuts: to the people who have particpated in this.

 

[JMAC]

yup i have a nomad 40GB, it's cheaper than ipods but it is more bulky and has better battery performance. Also you get brownie points from me when you purchase a creative over an apple just cause you're not following the crowd.
