I hate the Ipod Can't Post

My first Ipod: I rolled over in my sleep and pushed it into a glass of water. My 2nd Ipod (nano): I was in D.C. visiting a friend and going through the turnstile at the subway. I was wearing my ipod on my hip, and had the earbuds looped up under my coat and in my ears. The turnstile caught the tiny 1 inch of exposed headphone cord and yanked the Ipod off my hip and onto the ground where it shattered into thousands of pieces. I know I should blame myself for repeated stupidity – but honestly they need to make these things more durable… Anyway, now I’m looking into an integrated headphone/MP3 player (I always like to make my purchases based on lessons I’ve learned… if they’d made a waterproof nano my last one would have been). I tried out my friends’ set (http://www.hearotto.com/Products_OT3.aspx ) by a company named Otto and was pretty impressed, the sound quality is definitely better than anything Apple headphones can produce, plus the company prides themselves on creating durable products. Thought I’d pass this along for any other electronically-accident-prone people, I’ll also let you know what I think when I get my pair.

just thought I'd check back and say that the OTTO headset/mp3 player rocks - no complaints. Very easy to use and portable. The only sucky thing was trying to get WMP to list the names of my tracks so I could load them onto the headset, but that wasn't OTTO's fault, it was microsoft's fault.

Oh, also - Otto sent me a coupon when I got them that I'm not using so I thought I'd pass it on, it's FREESHIP and it's for free shipping (imagine that) and 10% off either the headset I got or their bluetooth car kit (http://www.hearotto.com/Products_OT2.aspx).

I can't stand them either. I'd much rather listen to music on a zen vision player, my phone or something. Digital One Media is supposed to come out with something that allows you to do everything on your phone.

More anti-ipod stuff, these guys destroy one ruthlessly (among other products) by dropping it in a bucket of acid: http://www.wehatetrendystuff.com/

Try reading more than the first line of my post. You'll note that it was only my first iPod that met it's maker this way, the 2nd one shattered when it didn't need to. Also, it isn't really the iPod I hate. It's iTunes. That licensing crap needs to go. I want to share my music, thank you very much. And, for the record - most electronics will dry out and work if you drop them in water. Sorry I'm grumpy...that trendy stuff video with the Ottos was prophetic - I got serious food poisoning from sushi yesterday, today I am still recovering and very dehydrated and sucking down gatorade. Wish I could take a sledgehammer to some sushi right now...

I used my Ipod classic and it broke,

so I got an Ipod video

I placed my Ipod video on a table, the screen cracked

so I got an Ipod Nano

I put my Ipod Nano in my bag, it doesnt work anymore

so I got a Creative Zen

not only did it handle loads more formats - it still works after 6 months

Apple makes their product so it breaks more easily after about 4 months use because by this time they have a new version out on the market. Maybe another reason its so hard to get their things fixed!

I've had a ton of iPod problems too, but until sales die, they aren't going to improve the quality. The demand is still super high.
