So that's where the majority of Samsung's flash production is going. Im suprised they can only achieve 14hrs playback despite flash?

They're being conservative with battery life estimates these days, remember how much that cost them last year...
My shuffle happily went for far longer than the 12 hours they advertised, and I expect this will do likewise.
I'm not going to be upgrading my phone 'til the new year, so this'll do me fine until then :)
interestingly, the mini is now gone :O
All marketing and no substance again... sigh. My phone takes 2gig SD cards so i'll stick with that :)
I love the way he compared a 4GB (at most) nano with the 20GB Sony and came to the conclusion that it was "OMG SMALLER".
What makes me angry, is that when the battery conks out after a few month, as it sounds like it will, apple will charge you £83 whereas the americans pay $59! Disgusting.
Don't get too excited, that's just a normal iPod held by someone with really, really big hands.Quote:

tbh it's nothing that great, it's over-priced, and under featured, so what if it's flash based, there are other HD mp3 players out there which far out-strip it's battery-life and aren't that different size-wise..
They needed to have dropped the price right down, and have killer battery life for it to have been a must-have purchase..
wow! :eek: and I have a zen micro...and i thought that was tiny [jaws drop] I must say, i do like the improved interface on iTunes...the more brushed metal that gets dropped from our screens, the better. And as for the Motorola iTunes phone...yeah, its ok, but they could have at least put 1GB in it though, but I expect there will be larger models to follow.
Can't they fit a Microdrive into a package that size? 4Gb seems a bit low for maximum capacity given that an 8Gb microdrive is on the horizon...
How about they 'shrink' the bloody price? 2Gb at $200? I'm assuming that's the price as it says 'starting from $200'. Bargain. :rolleyes: I think we picked up a 6Gb Ipod mini for $180 in NYC.Quote:
Take everything you love about iPod and shrink it. Now shrink it again.
This will look silly as soon as decently engineered hard disc based players using perpendicular technology start to appear, I would think.
As hexeh says - still no ogg support, so it won't see my money either.
no wma support either
the phone is a good idea, but a bit naff - its not there yet basically - it only supports 100 tracks regardless of mem size, and theres no real multimedia controls jumping out at me.
in my defence, i was bored.....
