So a few months ago the gut-wrenching pain of not having music in a handy hand-sized device became unbearable, so I lurched doubled-over into a Best Buy and snatched up the first small white rectangle I saw, which was of course an iPod.
I researched this decision not at all, but I've never had any regrets about that as it served and continues to serve my simple purposes.
HOWEVER
I've become strangely fascinated with an apparent bitter rivalry between the iPod People and Zunistas, as well as with the Zune itself, although I continue not to want one.
What is the deal? I figured such things would come down to bullet point lists of features, pro/con columns and other quantifiables, but emotion has entered into the equation at some point.
Anyways, I was motivated to learn more about mp3 players in general, and wasn't surprised at all to learn that straight technologywise some of the "independent" (I know Creative's been around for a while, but I've the sneaking suspicion there's a Gates vs. Jobs going on so I can't break metaphor) brands are more bang per buck, i.e. the Zen Vision.
I understand the power of image (worked on me), but why are some otherwise intelligent people making it between 2 brands?
And just what are the dis/advantages to the various sorts of mp3 players, according to you, the viewers?
What I am saying is what mp3 player would you rationally espouse and why?
