iTunes works well for managing music I prefer it to manually dragging folders around.



UMPC how useless! Internet tables even more useless. Truely hacks to a problem iphone solves. When I can fit an UMPC or an internet tablet in my pocket give me a call. Or not. Why would I want to suffer the horror that is Windows Tablet Edition versus iPhones super click and convenient interface? Even the smallest UMPC is enough of a brick to hit ppl over the head with! In addition to all that you STILL have to carry a phone around! If I am silly enough to consider a UMPC or an internet tablet I will hit myself over the head until I get some sense and get a ultra-portable laptop.

You might be a masochist but that doesn't apply to others.



Apparently you argue by using lies. Impressive. The original quote was:






Also you seem to assume a lot of things without actually knowing hard numbers behind it. Which indicates whatever you say is basically purely by 'mood of the moment' without any actual facts behind it. Even that statement itself is useless because it probably doesn't into account the incredibly expensive cost of living in Norway comparing to North America.
1: I dont want an iphone, so i dont care if i cant get one locally. Its crap
2: Yeah stuff is more expensive, and most of the time the two even out. I didnt say stuff was the same price, i said we make more money than you, and we do that. Also, noteverythign is as expensive as to make of for the salery difference, and we can also import stuff.
3: There are internet tablets with 4,2" screens, thats not that much bigger than the iphone. Actually its this much bigger. Ill gladly drag that extra size around if it means a keyboard, screen resolution big enough to actually read websites without some zoom function, and the fact that its a full blown LINUX computer. If i want something ultra portable the iphone surely doesnt count as that anyways, so i might as well go with something thats actually useful and not a novelty.
4: everyone hates you. go away and stop bugging people

Proof that everyone that reads doesn’t have the level of comprehension to understand


Edit: BTW, thanks for the promotion to Admin…heh…further proof that you don’t understand what you read, “Moderator,” as the title clearly states to the right of my nick on abi >>

I get it you do not like apple products. Why not just say so?

2: Yeah stuff is more expensive, and most of the time the two even out. I didnt say stuff was the same price, i said we make more money than you, and we do that. Also, noteverythign is as expensive as to make of for the salery difference, and we can also import stuff.
I do hope Norway makes more money then me. As good as my income is it would be hard to run a country on it. When you import stuff you most likely have a to pay a large tax. I would guess it would be at least 25% and possibly more. So the irony is that stuff in europe is so expensive that it makes sense to buy from the USA pay ~25% (or more)TAX and you will still come out ahead rather then buying locally. So yes I would say stuff is expensive indeed.

Also as far as the make more money then North American countries means you were probably looking at some statistics without fully understanding the complexity of such statements. North American countries are FAR larger then Norway with far larger populations and much larger diversity of people. This size disparity helps a lot to achieve Norway's very high statistic standards.

For example do you understand there are far more rich people in USA or Canada then in Norway?

Anyway I think you should stop making seem yourself ignorant and brining up Norway as a reason why you *think* you make more money then me based on average income statistics.

3: There are internet tablets with 4,2" screens, thats not that much bigger than the iphone. Actually its this much bigger. Ill gladly drag that extra size around if it means a keyboard, screen resolution big enough to actually read websites without some zoom function, and the fact that its a full blown LINUX computer.
See the problem is you most likely have never used an iPhone and have no idea what you are talking about. I on the other hand used an n810 and I do not find it convenient. If I want to carry around another device that is not a phone I would rather take an ultra portable PC with a good amount of CPU power and RAM and ability to run anything I want (as linux on ARM as the n810 does). And the n810 interface is still suffering same problems any other device would suffer. The need to use a stylus and both hands to operate.
It is obvious you've used an iPhone for all of 30 secs if ever without actually living with one for any amount of time. But you do hate it well.
There is also cost issue. an iPhone is cheaper then an n810 + Phone. And of course there is no need to carry two devices. Anyway there is no need for me to convince you since you clearly have little experience with the iPhone and are about as hateful of it as you can get.


If i want something ultra portable the iphone surely doesnt count as that anyways, so i might as well go with something thats actually useful and not a novelty.
This again shows your insignificant to none-existent experience with the device. iPhone is very useful and not a novelty. The n810 is a novelty indeed. It serves very little purpose in a very inconvenient device.

4: everyone hates you. go away and stop bugging people
You hate me and possibly a few more people at ABI because I have offended your religion. I wager most people do not.

Also are you guys going to call any more admins from ABI to come here?

you still haven't replied to my post, which pretty much is an admission of guilt on your part

also, you're saying that all these ABI mods are coming over here, its not like they're proclaiming anti-ipod stuff on this forum constantly, unlike you and your love of the ipod as seen on both forums

also, i'm pretty sure most people who come here hoping to read up on the P2 already find you annoying

Guilty as charged. In post #26 http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f15/sa...7/#post3559297
I stated my reasons for not liking YP-P2 (i actually owned the device at one time so I do know what I am talking about). Since then it managed to devolve into this mostly by me repying to people who really hate the iTouch and are rather fact less about their accusations of it.

also, you're saying that all these ABI mods are coming over here, its not like they're proclaiming anti-ipod stuff on this forum constantly, unlike you and your love of the ipod as seen on both forums
No, infact I am not sure why they are coming here.

also, i'm pretty sure most people who come here hoping to read up on the P2 already find you annoying
They have already read up on the P2 in the first few posts. It has pretty much anything they need to know after that it has devolved into this fun thread.

So lets assume your Iphone / Itouch / IGod is broken...
You lose a PDA, DMP and Cellphone in one. Knowing Apple is quite retarded about repairs ( rerember the battery-incident? ) you're....yes...fecked.

Goodluck with that.

Also remember to friggin respect everyones PERSONAL CHOICE!

Why do peeps buy a Mini Cooper Sport convertible when they can buy a Volvo C30 for less money and have the same confort ... etc?...

'Cos' they prefer so!

Now stop annoying us.

The majority has decided, you are retarded. Personally i'm not spending more time explaining why people don't want your opinion as clearly your ego is way to big to even consider the notion that nobody cares if you disappear from the face of the planet. You want to run around with iphones makeing icalls and sufing the iNternet, fine, go do so, but stop telling everyone else about it. Happy easter

I can't say "sigsegwhateverhisnameis" has actually said anything which could put someone off getting a P2, I mean other than his annoying habit of repeating, unnecessarily, what he has already said (over and over, and over) which goes something along the lines of "Wooohooo iPod YeaH!!!! P2 bleH" in a topic which has absolutely nothing to do with an ipod.. too me he comes off as a troll, and like all trolls no body remembers what they say down the line.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I was playing with the P2 today, it's quite a bit smaller than the touch (I sold my touch because I felt it was too big to be dedicated DAP@16gb and too small to be a dedicated movie/web browser) so i'm somewhat intrigued by what else it can do.

I'm not too sure about the GUI, it looks quite good though and seems quite responsive, so it must be a personal thing...

Should I get one...

hmmm

I just don't know, think I might hold out for a capacity boost...
