How many of you carry an Ipod Touch around with your Blackberry?
- They did a study recently, blind in nature, where they tested the sound quality of iPhone, iPod, Zune, Zen, Pearl, Palm and a few other models. The iPhone and iPod did not win.
The myth of the iPod having better output is a myth. The combined system (iTunes and iPod/iPhone/Touch) is beyond par, but the quality thing isn't true.
Don't believe me? No sweat... I didn't believe it at first either. Run the test yourself. Get some third party speakers, try the devices out with a disinterested audience.
This is what made me retire my iPod. Why would I carry an extra device when I already have a convergence device?03-28-09 08:09 PMLike 0 - ... And for those that carry a ipod touch and a bb, how many would drop the bb if your touch had phone service?
Can u say iPhone? I think a good majority of non business users would drop their bb for an iPhone. My guess.

Like I said before I have my touch which I take to the gym, and use it for nothing more than an IPod with a few pictures on it. I must admit the WI-FI is kind of cool, but before I had a blackberry I never used WI-FI anyways, because I didnt want to carry around my (at the time) normal cell phone and then the Touch, I only brought it if I new I need web and WIFI was around. Now with the bb its the web built into my phone, so I dont worry...........03-28-09 08:46 PMLike 0 -
Yes ... I picked up that you were talking about the sound quality, only. I am not disappointed with the the sound quality that my BB offers.
However, I can tell a difference in quality between it and the iPod and for just straight listening to music or for a handheld multimedia experience, I would choose an iPod Touch over my Bold.03-28-09 08:50 PMLike 0 - 03-28-09 08:52 PMLike 0

- I couldn't figure out which one I wanted.
Started w/ 80- returned it thinking I'd never fill it up.
Got a 30- returned it cause I did fill it up.
Got the 80 again- gave it away to my son.
Bought the 80 one more time; cause I wanted white.
Somewhere in between the 30 & 80, I bought the iPod Touch and gave that one away last week. I plan on getting the 2nd gen sometime this week.03-28-09 09:03 PMLike 0 -

- Tre LawrenceBetween RealitiesBlind study or no, I go by the fact I've had 4 other brand mp3 players before ever owning an iPod, use third party headsets, and have a strong ear for music (20+ years of sax playing...I'm the girl who can hear the one out of tune instrument in the orchestra lol)...still prefer my iPod sound quality.
Not all music players are made equal. I will freely concede that point. I will even state that Apple has the personal music player market on lock. I believe the iPod is a superior device. However, quality-wise, I have come to believe that the the gap between the iPod and other major platforms is shrinking or non-existent.
For the life of me, I cannot find the darn report (it came out way back when I was looking at getting a BlackBerry). However, every major review seems to echo that poing. Sound: great; overall: phenomenal.
Do you still play?03-28-09 09:31 PMLike 0 - So did I, till I could not tell the difference myself.

I had a Creative Zen Vision M that I really liked, until it got about as reliable as a Ford stays rustfree. I avoided Apple products but the interface is so gorgeous I cannot deny Apple's design esthetic is awesome. If the iPhone wasn't exclusive to Rogers, I'd probably have it instead of the Curve.
