Case in POINT about maturity of anythingbutipod police. dkft is the admin on there seems to be patrolling head-fi for dissidents.

Actually that's exactly what happens on anythingbutipod. Pretty much any thread with someone asking about a dap instead of an ipod has everyone on the forum replying the first reason to throw away the ipod is because of it's poor sound quality.

When a person comes to a forum called ANYTHING BUT IPOD and asks for a dap, and people recommend ANYTHING BUT IPODS, does that indicate some sort of connection between the site name and peoples action to you? Because it does to me. Maybe I'm just crazy.
|
| As for the ipood dutch and the imoun.. the first is a nice concept that would have been nice had it been half the price, didnt need accessories costing half a countries annual budget |
| didnt require itunes |
| and had a web browser where such things as downloading actually was possible. |
| Epic fail. as for the latter of the two, well, its a phone with a known name that has about the same tech specs as a budget phone two years ago. No 3g, and you cant even film with the camera. Personally I'd take the P2's abilities to connect to a real phone over that flat piece of wannabe-cellphone anyday. |
| BTW, google "multi quote" |

When you have a forum called anythingbutroundwheels.com and a person asks what car should I buy to get from home to work and work to home daily? Should people suggest square wheels? Or perhaps they should say. Well in your case you would be better suited by a car with round wheels, but you if really want square wheels here are the better choices.... On anythingbutsquare wheels it usually goes like this "OMFG another person wakes up and stops driving with round wheels!!".

It would be nice if it would be half the price but unfortunately this is not communism and a company should change the maximum people are willing to pay. I believe in this system I guess you do not yet still choose to live where? On the other hand since device has no real competition gives them this ability to extract premium prices.

Interesting, I find iTunes is a *good* thing. Alternatives are WMP11? iTunes wins every time. I do not like managing my music files myself and I prefer itunes to other solutions. Also because in the real world the protocol has been reverse engineered there are billion of ways to use it without itunes on any operating system of choice. Also it works as a UMS device that can be used for storage which is helpful because iPods as of late have been the leaders of their size-class for capacity.

Yes you're correct. However at this time in the real world the alternatives are:
1. No browser at all 2. A dream that a device (YP-P2) might at some point have a we browser 3. Opera on a PDA (like X50v) is a horrible HORRIBLE expirence comparing to safari on the iphone/itouch. 4. Jailbroken ipod touch can easily download files by the way.... or do anything a pda can. Anything I forgot? |

Even when someone asks for certain features where iPod would make the best choice people on the forum steer the person away from the ipod. Even if that device will CLEARLY not be as convenient at the tasks the person requested. |
![]() Norway. We earn about twice what you canadians do, and despite swedish people being a tad funny at times, i prefer them over living next to a country rules by an insane president |
| Oh my, its better than wmp11. Too bad noone has made some system to allow adding music files without software at all. Oh well |
| Yes. Internet tablets and UMPCs. Google it |
| Indeed it does |

But I understand that you at most have played with the device for maybe 30min and have very little clue at how good the iPhone is. On the other hand spec sheets are very impressive and you can buy a device based on it.. enjoy your whatever.

Call me crazy; but when a person signs onto a site called "Anything But iPod", creates a thread asking for DAP recommendations stating he does not want an iPod, is it at all possible that maybe he does not want an iPod? Wouldn't that make your recommendation that he get an iPod undesired, irrelevant, and unwarranted?
|
| Instead of taking a hint when this fact was brought to your attention, you decided to attack members and get into arguments with the staff, resulting in the closure of at least two threads. The problem here is not ABi and its staff. The problem here is you. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can avoid making a complete ass of yourself on high-profile forums like Head-Fi. |
| By the way: I'm getting the distinct impression that the only real friends you have are the plethora of straw men you've erected all over the interwebs. |

But I do get upset when people start comparing the YP-P2 to iPod touch.
|
|
please find one example of that happening in this thread before you stepped in with your propaganda.
|
|
you seem to be enthusiastically replying to all the posts that question your motives...except mine. I'm still waiting for your response
oh yeah, attacking people based on where they live in the world and their economical environment...classless |
|
I reply to posts I feel need a reply. I guess which ever post you made didn't seem to me like something I needed to reply to.
|
|
Like I said if a person asked for a way to get home I would recommend the best way to do it. It is funny that the fact it's an iPod enrages the ABI people like religious fanatics.
[...] Anyway here is the link to the thread that started this hate of me initially on that forum. To me it doesn't feel unreasonable. But anyone finding this drama entertaining read this and enjoy |
