Hi Everyone,
iPod, media players or imitation IPod? iPodhas 3 models to choose from namely iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano and iPod Touch. The latter is bundled with Wifi and touch screen.
After saving and considering other MP3 players, I still choose the IPod Nano 4G personally. Bought it a year and a half ago on January 2009. I considered the Sony and Creative MP3 players by researching on the web and comparing all the features. Also I researched the features of the iPod Nano 4G.
Creative and Sony may offer more features including FM Radio and support other media formats such as midi and wav files but overall the IPod seems to attract me personally.
Now the iPod Nano 5G, the current generation comes with a FM radio and a video camera. For the previous generation, a radio connectivity set costs more than RM100. Prices of the iPod in Malaysia remains the same at RM599 and RM799 for the 8GB and 16GB models respectively. Even though the price is the same, it has more features.
Sony, Creative and Samsung also have their models to compete directly with the iPhone. The Creative Zen MX is one example. It offers the capabilities to play more music formats including the Windows Media Audio (WMA), Midi and WAV files. It also offers radio. This is the same for Sony and Samsung. Radio is a standard for MP3 players nowadays. Only the IPod did not offer any radio features at that time. iPhone can only support MP3 and AAC3 (MP4) files. To play a WMA file on the iPod, you need to use iTunes to convert it to MP4 format first or other softwares to convert it to a MP3 file.
Sony, Creative and other brands also offer better battery life on the MP3 players. My iPod Nano can last about 3 days or so. The claimed battery life for the Nano 4G is 24 hours.
At the end, it is all up to you to choose.
