Creative announces their intention to go after the ipod

You can read more about this over on engadget if you’re interested – basically Creative has announced their intent to dethrone Apple’s ipod as the most popular portable mp3 playing device. My advice to Creative is – focus on the quality and interface on your own products, instead of your marketing. I have a Creative player. It was exceedingly cheap and I got precisely what I paid for – an inferior product in all aspects to an ipod. I don’t mind, I knew this when I bought it, and I bought it more to experiment with than to use (I use an iriver h120 for long trips and a rio cali for jogging). My advice to anyone reading this? Don’t be swayed by Creative’s $100 million advertising blitz – their products are generally inferior and their support is absolutely awful – ever try and track down drivers for one of their soundcard products, or waited interminably for updates to fix known issues? I have, take it from me, they’re not a good company

    and contrary to what some people seem to think, my ipod is now about 3 yrs old. 1st gen, 5 gig, and it still plays for 6-8 hours and holds a charge for maybe a week if left alone. It has not been babied either. i used to take it to work with me every day on the motorcycle and it lived in the strap of my bag, getting tossed all over the place.
