Gadget Goodies…
Posted on November 2, 2003 by Christine | 9 Comments
Mike was shopping for gadget goodies this weekend. Here are two of the mp3 players he was looking at – anyone have any feedback on either player that they want to share? I guess I should note that he is actually looking at buying both (for different purposes) – not trying to decide between the two of them.

I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.

You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.

The zen is worth the extra money. It’s bigger, but holds a lot more music.
Realistically, he may want to look at the new Dell Jukebox, which, according to some reviewers, is an iPod killer, and we all know how undeniably freaking cool the iPod is

I’m a total iPod snob, so I’ll just say I think an iPod would look really good clipped to Mike’s belt loop.

iPod – with Windows iTunes…. sigh… wonderful..
A friend has an iRiver and likes it, although has had to upgrade the firmware a couple of times…

Personally I’m waiting for the Rio Karma. Mainly for the Vorbis support and docking station. It comes with Sennheiser earbuds too if I remember right.

In order to afford both, and simply to justify the costs, the iPod isn’t an option. Sad, but true. I know. However, the reasons are good – so the Nomad Jukebox was a good second (cheaper) option.

iPOD. it’s the only choice. i swear i have an unnatural love of mine. and it really is worth the extra $. nothing on the market even comes close.

A few years ago I bought an (older model) nomad jukebox. The thing blows! Always did. It’s rechargeable batteries last all of 5 seconds. Transfering music was NOT intuitive and would often have issues. I would hope they improved it with their newer version, but having been burned once by them – I can’t say I’d recommend them. JMHO.

Refurbished iPods (20GB) are $40 more than the NOMAD he’s looking at. There’s really no comparison. I have an original iPod and have loved it since the moment I got it. If cost is an issue, wait a month or two. It’s worth it.
