Almost a year following our review of the Apple iPod, we look at the new, 15GB third generation iPod. Editors Note - The review that is presented here of the 15GB iPod was completed before Apple announced that they were going to revamp their iPod line up by dropping the 15GB iPod and replacing it with a 20GB version. We reviewed the Apple iPod 5GB model previously in our article, The Apple iPod For Windows Begins A New Legacy With both a THG Editor's Choice and Reader's Choice awards under its belt from the first generation iPod, it might be very difficult for Apple to top what they achieved with their initial iPod product. If another manufacturer is able to gain traction in the "function" areas that the iPod dominates, Apple may consider dropping the retail price; but until then, consumers can expect to pay a premium price for the iPod....

Sony NW-MS70D: iPod Killer or Expensive Paper Weight?. sony nw. While it will not take out the iPod, the NW-MS70D is certainly not just an expensive paperweight, either.. While it will not take out the iPod, the NW-MS70D is certainly not an expensive paperweight, either, and is well worth the price tag as a compact high-performance MP3 player. For well over a year now, the iPod has maintained its status as king of the MP3 player market, and Apple's recent product revision has only further enhanced an already near-perfect device. However, as you'll soon learn, the NW-MS70D comes to the table with a number of advantages not enjoyed by the iPod, making the comparison a very interesting one indeed. ...

Creative Labs' Zen Touch: More Than Just Another iPod Clone?. creative labs. Creative becomes the latest vendor to challenge the iPod's stranglehold in the music player market. The iPod's success has made more than one manufacturer's mouth water....

The Zen Micro: Creative Guns for the iPod (Again). the zen micro. The Zen Micro represents Creative's second attempt to take on the iPod, and this time the company is out for blood. After the Zen Touch, Creative has attempted to best the iPod feature by feature. While Apple's iPod offers four GB of storage, Creative's new Zen Micro offers five gigs. Personally, I prefer the sobriety of the iPod mini, but the more discreet all-white and black-and-white versions of the Zen also appeal to me....

Apple iPod Nano: The Smallest MP3 Player with A Color Display. apple ipod nano. A few days ago, Apple presented its smallest MP3 player ever: The iPod Nano, which replaces the iPod Mini. This new iPod is so small and thin that it resembles a large credit card, and is available in either black or white. Compared to the preceding iPod Mini, the five control keys on the iPod Nano are even smaller - but as if to compensate, there is now a color display featuring a 1.5" (38 mm) diagonal picture and 187x132 pixel resolution. Even the outside is nice to look at: iPod Nano - in our test configuration in black; it also comes in white. ...

A Genius, That's Who!. who designed the ipod uk. Our Barry Gerber doesn't like the iPod because he thinks it's a shallow, overly expensive piece of crap. Our Aaron McKenna on the other hand thinks that the iPod and, more importantly, iTunes are the best things since sliced bread. However I believe that Barry has misdirected his anger somewhat, and while many of those who work with or around me will attest to you that I'm the biggest cynic roaming the TG Publishing Empire (and there's some stiff competition, let me tell you); I don't see a problem with Apple's business strategy of selling the iPod's high and then continuing to make a killing out of iTunes. In fact, I think the entire iPod Empire is the best thing since sliced bread. ...

Cupertino (CA) - Last Thursday's filing of a second series of intellectual property lawsuits by iPod producer Apple against Creative Labs - the company with the dubious distinction of peddling the world's #2 MP3 player - could perhaps be interpreted as Apple's way of demonstrating it's willing to go the distance in a legal dispute with its distant rival. On 15 May, the US International Trade Commission for an injunction preventing the further sale of iPod and iPod nano in the US, and then simultaneously sued Apple in US District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging patent violation....

Cartoonist Jen Sorensen has captured the absurd essence of Ipod mania. Barry Gerber responds to Aaron McKenna's scathing attack on his Ipod column by waving the cartoon for all to see..
