Battle mp3
What type of mp3 player do you have? Considering that Apple is kind, most likely you have an ipod. Maybe you have more then on ipod. Ipod shuffle, nano, and video.
If you don’t get caught up in the marketing craze and look at just the mp3 players, you’ll find that non ipod mp3 players are a lot better then the ipods.
First, the price. An ipod ranges from 80 dollars to 400 dollars. The comparable non ipod mp3 players start at 20 dollars to 250 dollars. I have a sansa 2 gig mp3 player that is like the apple shuffle. I bought it for 35 dollars. the ipod is only 1 gig and costs 80 dollars. I get double for less then 40 percent of the cost of the Apple product.
Second, the design. Maybe a few years ago, the ipod was the only design friendly mp3 player. But now, a lot of these other brand mp3 players sport hot designs. The ipod is sleek and tiny but honestly…everybody has one. Don’t you want to be different? Wasn’t Apple cool cause it was unique. It’s not so cool anymore cause everybody has it.
Third, technology. As with every other electronic device, the price drops fast and hard. why buy an overprice thing when you know a better ipod will come out in 6 months. Can’t you wait 6 months? You already have an mp3 player so why buy the latest apple?
Fourth, price. It’s too expensive. I mention the price again cause that’s the main reason not to buy an ipod.
Last Christmas people didn’t think this advice but this year, things are changing. The MS Zune is outselling the ipod on Amazon. Good job guys.
Best mp3 players for the price. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, it has to be sansa players.
Brand name recognition is an important part of the shopping experience. You go into a store and first thing you do is look for different types of brands. You don’t even spend time looking at brands you’ve never heard of. Lets be logical about this people.
