Basically, I've been thinking of getting a mp4 to watch my movies and starcraft games, and i'm not sure on what to get.
I went to the store and check out.
Ipod Classic : 120 GB S$398
Ipod Touch : 8 GB S$388

Hoping to get some advice, any other mp4 recommendations are also accepted. Thanks.

iPod Touch has a larger screen, but the Classic has more space so I'd go for that.

If you plan on having like shits and shitloads of videos and whatnot, then the classic is the way to go.

ive got a creative zen vision:m, 30gig, and its GREAT.

-durable: ive dropped it several times onto concrete from chest-height and its fine, only a little bit of the paint stuff came off. very tough, tougher than ipods

-longevity: got mine for xmas 2 years or something ago, no problems at all

-touchpad: easy to use, has senstitivity settings etc etc

-video: screen is great and fairly large (4 fingers by 3 fingers lol i dont have a ruler), clear picture. plays mpgs, avis etc. for some more obscure formats, youll probably need to convert them (it comes with a video converter). Sometimes it has trouble playing certain bitrates and aspect ratios but 95% of the time its fine and if it works on one VOD it should work on all of them.

-sound: great

-size: some people say its bulky, its fairly large but it fits in 1 hand easy enough. i used to go jogging all the time with it in one hand and i never dropped it or felt heavy or anything.

i got it for about $300 a couple of years ago so it wasnt very expensive at the time.

I've got an ipod touch and it is siiiick. Everything about it is designed so well. It'd totally recommend it over the ipod classic that I borrowed often from my friend.

It really depends. For me, 8GB is just not enough. Then again, I prefer to keep my entire music library on my mp3. It just depends what you are planning to put on it. If you want only a few playlists, or a few songs, then the iPod Touch would be a good choice for the funsies. But if you like to have all of your music with you, go with the Classic.

You're victim to shamelessly bad journalism (all journalism). I could look it up for you but... So lazy.

EDIT: 3-4% for men, 1-2% for women (Laumen & others, 1994; National Center for Health Statistics, 1991; Smith, 1998).*

The only reason you'd choose an iPod Classic over an iPod Touch is because of space, iPod Classic hits 120gb as oppose to the iPod Touch's 32gb max. The iPod touch is then better in almost every other department (a much bigger screen as someone said) and of course web browsing/tons of apps makes it pretty neat

For me I have 40gb of music alone so the iPod Classic was the only choice. Of course Zune provides their alternatives but I don't know much about them.

I wouldn't get an iPod nano if you plan to watch a lot of videos, tiny screen!

what are you doing with your mp4. if you only want to listen to music, get IPod classic; but if you wan to do any additional tasks, a touch is much more worthwhile.

Cowon S9 has the sickest(read: best by FAR) screen on the market for mp4s right now. It's called Active Matrix OLED
However the maximum storage you can get on it is 32 GB.

If 2% of girls are gay, and 4% of boys are gay, that means 3% of boys and girls are gay Okay my friend?

I posted something about the cowon s9 earlier in this thread, you might like to read my post
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=92429

About you thinking about the iPod Touch or iPod classic for videos, remember that they have TFT displays whereas the S9 is the only efficient AMOLED display pmp right now.
Therefore, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO OP!!!

If you want something cheap with a big screen (5"), check out the Onda VX545HD. The interface sucks but the videos look nice. The screen is 800x480. It plays avi and rmvb up to 720p and has component output. It's no good as a music player though.

I bought an iPod touch last week and so far it fucking rocks; there is just so much stuff you can do with it, but you need to at least get the 16gb version.
I'd recommend it without hesitation.

As a direct comparison to the Classic, the Zune 120 is better in everything besides battery life.

Apple is gay, the only reason I got a 80g ipod back in the day was because there was no other pocket sized 60+gig hard drive that could both play music and store data. Like shit, I can run SC from ANYWHERE via ipod. How gay is that?

BoT, I don't know what the singapore dollar amounts to but if its anything like an american dollar that sounds like a complete ripoff in the OP. 120 is 250$ and 8g touch is 230$. If I was you I'd get the 160g (350$) and buy it from the ipod store site because they engrave it for free and you will never find a physical store selling ipods for cheaper than any apple store anyways. (like even fucking wal mart has to sell them at the same price). Apple are jews like that.


If you calculate the price with the size of the drive its clear that the 160 is the best bang for buck. It's also one of the newest and therefor is most updated.


edit- BTW, apple has a 320 to be release/announced in the near future afaik.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
