Ace Burpee, a writer for the Winnipeg Sun, says he bought a Video iPod to keep up with the times, but he now refuses to use it. Rather than just opening the thing and getting to familiarize himself with it, he instead jots down a list of negatives he sees associated with the iPod.

There are some real doozies in there, to be sure. Among other things, he harps on the screen being too small to view anything comfortably on it -- though I can't remember the last time I was able to fit in my LCD television in my pocket and pull it out at the DMV to watch a quick show while waiting.

He asks whether the iPod can get wet. Wet? That's the biggest concern bugging him? In the article, he wants to know if he can watch Desperate Housewives underwater yet he just got finished saying he wouldn't like to use the tiny screen to watch television at all. Anyway, I'll let him do the talking.
Basically, I'm 32 and fighting it. The box is staring at me as I type this. I think I may go leave it unguarded in the back seat of my truck and wait for someone to steal it. Then I can say I used to have an iPod, making it seem as if I'm already beyond that.
I suppose it would be better for him not to open it. Could go back to that old Walkman Cassette Player he said he still has.

Thats a real good to review/complain about an item. Never even using it. What a nieve ****. Use the damn thing before complaining about it. How is this article published?

Hes right. THE PSP has a better screen and is way more capable for videos. The Video IPOD is just another trendy apple gadget that all the cool kids will buy. Bunch Of Tools

I think that iPods and the iPod culture are ruining America.

your an idiot, a complete idiot. yes, the top song downloaded on itunes is check on it, but do you really think everyone lives by it. your a ****ing idiot. not everyone lives by that song, it has a cachy beat and fun to listen to, your not suppose to analyze the **** out of it and live like a "gangsta". not everyone who has an ipod listens to that, way to sterotype ****.

It's funny because that sites complete bull****. Just another extreme minimalist trying to spread his/her propaganda. I personally do not like iPod's but come on; When someone states that America's culture is on the verge of collapsing simply because of a tiny piece of electronic equipment there's got to be some form of extremism in there. THe writer is also very pompous to say that that music is not music. Who's to say what music is better? We all feel that the music we listen to is better than everyone elses. I use my Creative to listen to my music which do not include any of the billboard toppers. This whole "We're shutting ourselves out" business is getting really tiring. Don't we all shut ourselves out in some way or another? If you use a car, "Oh no you're shutting yourself out". These people don't seem to complain about that. I don't know. It's just that most of these peoples arguements seem like bull**** propaganda that won't work.

the video ipod is not a stupid trend. it isnt like they are adding video functionality for a fee, it now comes standard in the ipod. you cant fault a product for giveing you something for free. if you dont like the video part, dont use it. but dont complain about it. if a company wants to add more battery life, extra storage space, video playback, and make their product smaller all while keeping the old price tag then you should be all for it. are you retarded?
