Blir Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 My old iRiver had FM Radio. We're you waiting specifically for an iPod to have this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 My ol' skool 2 gig Creative Zen Stone Plus had an FM-Tuner in it and is only like 30 quid. Yes, the Samsung 256MB MP3 player I have (it's damn small, another reason I kept it for 6 years) has an FM tuner. I prefer the look/feel/UI of the iPods, though. My old iRiver had FM Radio. We're you waiting specifically for an iPod to have this? Yep - I hated the need for an 'addon' so something as basic as FM radio can be used on an iPod.

Guest Calx Sherbet Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 why would you want a video camera on a nano sized screen? i've always found video to be ridiculous at that size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 That's pretty nuts that they didn't see fit to put in a radio until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 why would you want a video camera on a nano sized screen? i've always found video to be ridiculous at that size And when you transfer it to your computer... what then? Do you honestly think it captures video at the Nano's screen resolution? Perhaps digital cameras should have 21" screens, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 crazy apple takes so fucking long to implement standard features into the ipod, too bad it doesnt have an am tuner. i dont listen to any FM radio, there is literally nothing on FM out here worth listening to. and watch 2 years later apple will be proud to announce that you can TIVO the fm radio to an mp3 ! oh wait seacrane radio has a tape cassette version of this concept made 20 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS POST SPONSERED BY APPLE USA INC. laemnor ... it's prob. a feature that will be on a phone you'll be buying in about six months anyway ... plus i find it hard to believe that you of all people still own a 256megmp3player well unless it's one of those supermicro jogging thingoez .. hence my edit in the quote ...

Guest Glass Plate Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Lol wtf, so many other brands of MP3 players have been doing that for so long, now that ipods have them, other brands (like Creative) still kick the shit out of apple products. 'Cause apple is a buncha dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markedone Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 What the fuck? It doesn't even take still pictures.. just a video camera. Completely pointless and unnecessary on an mp3 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 What the fuck? It doesn't even take still pictures.. just a video camera. Completely pointless and unnecessary on an mp3 player. I agree. I'd rather be able to take stills if anything. And the radio...seriously WTF? Now? You want to introduce FM on your players now? Lol I like the lower prices on stuff though. Maybe one day I'll upgrade my 8GB Nano, but it's fine for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
