This post is mostly a response to my Uncle Bob’s recent comment on my recent post, entitled “iPod Classic.” He says (among other things) that:
IPOD BAD
Can’t uncorrupt database;
Can’t delete anything using ipod interface;
Must use Itunes to manage files;
Can’t read filenames in the ipod;
battery life about 4 hrs and diminishing
- My Uncle Bob, (my UB) who has had very bad luck with the iPod.
True, true. I know that the iPod has faults, all of them stemming from the closed-shut structure of it. The DRM’d music, the exclusivelity (not sure if that’s even a word) of iTunes, and various missing funcions like a mic, delete option, easy battery replacement, etc.
BUT… iPod still good!
