Technology Round-Up (10/03/11)
 

Head to the replies to read this week's Technology Round-Up.

Here's this week's real roundup:

Blah blah blah NEW iPHONE TOMORROW blah blah blah.

:calvin: :hobbes:

Bummer about the iPod classic being discontinued. I still swear by my 2nd generation iPod. It's a 40 gig brick.

I bought my iPod classic refurbished about 4 years ago and it's still awesome. (I don't even care that it spontaneously wiped itself twice.)

The main problem here is that none of the Touch ones are big enough to hold my library and also they're way more expensive. Lame.

So they're getting rid of the only iPod that's worth it? Looks like I'm converting to another mp3 player soon.

Kinda bummed about the Shuffle being discontinued. I love my little shuffle for when I work out and snowboard.

sweet so once my classic dies.Ill be forced to buy one of those touch screens with a lower memory. -_-

Okay, so labels are stoked about Spotify and piracy is down....BUT that is certainly not translating into sales as people are essentially using the free services as pseudo music libraries. Where is the incentives for the labels here? Why are they onboard? I dont personally have any use for a service like spotify and the ads blow. I still use grooveshark for parties.

I wish iCloud and IOS 5 would drop tomorrow and not with the actual launch with the phones. That new data center in NC better be ready to handle such a huge load of bandwidth

Also, my 120gb ipod is my best friend

Not taking a side either way but the future, as Apple (and Amazon and Google) see it, is in the cloud. The number of people who need 40/60/120 GB of music at any time is extremely small, though it's probably a much higher percentage on AP than in the general public.

Just my two cents.

I'd recommend the Sansa Clip. I've used both and I prefer it over the shuffle.

God damnit, I'm not going to buy an iPod touch for an mp3 player. I already have an iPhone. Classic or bust!!

This. This. This. This.
