Samsung Set To Introduce Android-Based iPod Touch Competitor

blixtech writes "Virtually unchallenged in the portable media player market, Apple's iPod Touch is set to receive a pretty strong competitor at CES 2011. Samsung has just announced they will showcase an Android-powered PMP called the Galaxy Player, featuring almost the same hardware as the Galaxy S smartphone."

Your anecdote doest change the fact that my iPod has lasted since 2002 just fine.
See? I can do it too. Now go wash your mouth out you filthy little cock sucker.

Troll harder. I know you're just being a trendy hater, but perhaps you should provide arguments to back up your claims. And by the way,

And your anecdote of "but my iJunk lasted for x years!" doesn't change this.
- way to stick your fingers in your ears. As for me, I still enjoy my 4+ year old apple laptop, iphone and ipod. They still work great, so I don't know what the hell your going on about.
Oh yeah, don't forget to mod me into oblivion for liking apple products.

Yeh, Android devices are way more open to fiddling than iOS devices – all you need do is apply this well known jailbreak that's available within a few days... wait... you mean android devices are harder to get into? That can't be right, that would invalidate all my ranting about freedom and how evil apple is and good google is!
