| Post subject: Apple Ipod or Dell DJ? |
I have been looking at buying an Apple Ipod and hear a lot of good stuff about them but then I also hear that they lock up often when connecting with windows computers. Also they are about $50 more than a comparable Dell DJ. I have been to Does anyone have any real life experience with either one of these? |

i have an ipod for a year now, 10gig one and used it on a windows pc until last week without a problem ever... the only thing that bugged me in the beginning is, that you cannot change the battery inside the ipod. so i was afraid that once the battery does not last long enough any more, the ipod becomes useles... but now, one year later, I am still very happy, no problems with the battery either. Can't compare it to the Dell DJ though to be frank... |

Don't know if it's available in China yet. I bought a Zen Micro over the holiday.(made by Creative a singpaorean co.) smaller even than the ipod mini, but has a larger hard drive(5gig vs. 4gig). it also supports WMA which doesn't work on the Ipod. This is a pretty big deal if u already have a lot of ur songs in that format. I recommend it.
p.s. it costs about $250 US |

itunes can transfer wma files so that the ipod can read it. 250 is quite expensive for 5gb only.... |

Get the iPod Mini. You won't be disappointed. You can knab it here at any electronics store for 2150-2200 RMB. Don't pay anymore unless you actually enjoy getting scammed. |
