iPods are a relic from when a time before everybody carried around a cell phone that could also stream any music they would care to hear. What do I gain from this device that I don't get from using an iPhone?
Navigating a classic ipod is faster, easier, and more pleasant than a modern touch screen. The sound quality is higher. There's no stress about hitting a cellular dead zone. It still has a headphone jack for when your bluetooth headphones eventually run out of juice.
Searching a large library is not better on an iPod, I have a classic, but that’s subjective.
Cellular dead zone isn’t an issue. Phones have built in storage just like an iPod.
A headphone adapter is much smaller (and cheaper ?) than another device iPad nano or not.
This is cool for its novelty imo, but the benefits are nebulous.
I was just pointing out that some of these arguments aren’t supported by facts.
I didn’t disparage anyone for desiring these or say they’re useless. I said it’s my opinion that they are more of a novelty. There’s nothing wrong with novelty, entire industries are based on it.
> I said it’s my opinion
So, which is it? Maybe you should consider there are points of view other than your own before trying to pass off your opinion as objective fact. Which is all I was trying to point out.
And take another chill pill keyboard tough guy.
So, some still want a device that is "just music," nothing else.
