iPod Touch vs. Classic vs. Bose QC III

[Da Peach]

So it appears I've accumulated enough airmiles to get either an 8GB iPod touch or a 160GB iPod Classic. Is the iPod touch really all that cool? I'm leaning toward the classic. It has more than five times the storage of my current laptop. Nutso.

I could also get a set of Bose Quite Comfort IIIs. Those things are super cool.

Whatcha think? I'm way off being able to actually get a useful flight, so I'm thinking of just cashing in.

Get the quiet comfort things, fill the earpieces with explosives then give them to your brother.

Man, you're quick on the draw!

So not the iPod then?

[ridiculous]

I have a set of the quiet comfort IIs and I love them. Another vote for the head phones.

I wouldn't get the headphones. There are better 'phones out there than the Bose, so you're blowing a fairly pricey set of miles on some headphones when you could buy a good set for a hundred bucks or so.

The iPod touch is really cool if you have consistent access to WiFi networks or want to watch videos. If you have a ton of music and that's all you want to do with it, it's a waste. For me, it'd be the Touch - nice screen for movies, nice browser if you're near WiFi.

[Da Peach]

Yeah, having a cool little portable youtuber would be pretty nifty.

Once the iPod Touch approaches the capacity of the other stuff out there, it will be more appealing. Having the big screen and ability to watch videos on it is tempting, but you could run out of space quickly (considering that you will want your photos and music on there, too).

I had 25 movies and I don't know how many songs (1500-2000) and was nowhere close to filling up my ipod classic.

I don't know why people think you need to put every file you own on your Ipod. Just sync it with what you are going to use.

I have a touch and I dig it.

Thank you!


I have a ton of iPods, and used to have a touch. It got lifted at Charlotte Douglas international :banghead: Out of all of them, the Touch was the best. I have a 160 gig classic as well, and I usually took the touch with me, and left the classic in the car. If you ever watch movies, it's GREAT. you will never want to go back to the tiny screen again.

[Da Peach]

Yeah, I just got to play with one for a couple minutes at Best Buy. I frigging hate BB, but I suppose since I'm in another province, it doesn't count. Quite.... grumble...

I can acually get 12 gift cards to Staples and it will cost me less than just cashing in points from the Airmiles folks...of course by the time I acutally get the item in my hands, I could have cashed in my points for a jetpack.

Anyhoo, after having fiddled with the touch, I have to say, that is one cool piece of techno-toyology.

I get bored easily.

I get bored easily.

me too. i can't imagine only having 8 GB of music available to me.

and i do proper rips (EAC/LAME @ APX), so my file sizes are much larger than the 128 stooges.

[Da Peach]

me too. i can't imagine only having 8 GB of music available to me.

but you're a bit of a freak... I'd like to go to 16GB for a little extra room.

[narlus]

if you happen to be near your brother's ipod, please fill it w/ Neil Young for me.

[Da Peach]

I would if I could.

[Westy]

If you are near your brothers iPod, please fill it full of anthrax for me.

Please note the lowercase "a".

[Damo]

Forgive me for being behind, but who is his brother?

By the way, I say Classic. Why would anyone want something with only 8Gb when you can have 160Gb?

You gotta know how to get the best of your frequent flyer points. Start with a half dozen double whiskies. When ya get on the flying coffin, demand to go up the "pointy end and see those two bastards with the stupid hats on". When you get there, lay down the law in no uncertain "Listen knob-face, my f*ckin brother built this plane! Twice!- I demand first class.....righto" then go and sit down in 1A. Should work.

Sweet, I'll have to try that!

Make sure as you walk out, snigger and mutter "cockpit"....then suddenly stick your head back through the door and shout "glorified bus-drivers I tell ya" and shake your fist. When you get to 1A call over the flying waitress (who if she's female is just gagging for it and if a male is a raging poof) and order the following "triple scotch and then you can massage my perineum until I fall asleep.....well chop chop, my Laphroaig won't pour itself"......remember you have "status" on an airline. Use it wisely

Well that's just low......the line has been crossed.


And I don't have an iPod...I have a Sansa... so there.

[Da Peach]

People like to say "Sansa!"

I would fill your iPod with Cheryl Crow. And pictures of Sandra Bullock.
