Holiday Competition For iPod Dollars

An anonymous reader writes "MP3newswire.net is running a two part article on 15 new digital music portables or "iPod Killers" as the digerati have dubbed them. iPod Killers for Christmas Part I includes what I think is the coolest new player, the Olympus MR 500i with touch-screen technology and and sharp black-on-white color scheme. iPod Killers for Christmas Part II's most interesting portables are the new Epson MPEG-4/MP3 media jukebox and the SoniqCast Aireo 2 Wi Fi. Lots of photos and size specs. Also, Ogg Vorbis is picking up steam as more new players are adding it."

Re:my rio500 works with iTunes, 'fella'.

[SuperBanana]

iTunes != iTunes Music Store

Then I guess he should have said "do these players work with the iTunes music store?", not "do these players work with iTunes?"

So many people think iTunes is JUST a way to use the store, and are amazed when I tell them yes, you can rip your CDs to MP3, or manage the mp3s you've, ahm, 'acquired'...

Re:iPod Vibrator is what your mom wants

[xtermin8]

your mom wants the Ipod to vibrate, she told me so this morning. "All the top-of-the-line phones vibrate- but I'd rather have a little mood music... and long battery life of course" I immediately buy tickets for Cupertino...
