Apple's probably gonna release the 6th gen iPod to compete with M$.

This morning I was reading a Seattle Times article about a 'tech analyst' called Enderle who reported on Zune and the iTMS-like service that goes with it. Enderle says: Quote: …

Hopefully this will drive Apple's prices down to compete with Microsoft and its competitors. It might also force them to come out with something like the new touch-screen video ip…

MS knows exactly what it's doing. they know, in the short term, they will not knock the ipod out the box; they say they're in it for the long haul (they keep saying this!); thats t…

I don't think we should be laughing at this at all. MS has had a long time to sit and watch who succeeds and who fails. Granted it's been mostly Apple succeeding and everybody else…

Xbox a success?? By what measure?

Sure, we all say: bah, no one else has come close to apple's dominance in the music player and online software, we may even think it a little bit to. But face it, a lot of us are a…

Hello all - I just purchased my 1st iPod. My question is: If I import music from a CD to my hard drive - and then update it onto my Ipod....once its on my Ipod - can I delete the m…

If you set the iPod to "manually update" then you can do this, but it's really not a very good idea, since if your iPod has any problems (or if you lose it) you will also lose all …

What he said. If your iPod has any sort of hiccup or technical problem (and if it's hooked up to a Windows machine, chances are very high that Windows WILL cause some hiccup event…

Hello, I'm considering purchasing an iPod Nano at either on an AF Base Exchange or at the actual Apple store at the mall. The Base Exchange has the 4GB iPod Nano for $248.00 wit…

Why ask us how much Nano's cost at the Apple education store. Check it out for yourself at http://store.apple.com As for August, I wouldn't expect any new iPods at WWDC. Chris

The nano 4gb is $199 at the education store.

Thanks for the replies... I totally spaced out, didn't even think of looking at the education store... chabig, how was the rain in Colorado?

I'm in Colorado too and it is crazy. I moved here from Seattle a few months ago... reminds me of home.

Flagheimer, even with tax, the price of an iPod through the Apple Education Store is going to beat the BX price. Guaranteed. Those folks in Dallas that decide all the BX prices d…

Yeah I was gonna buy an iPod with video from them but they wanted $325 for it! Even without an education discount, you're not saving very much money.

I received an Ipod mini as a mothers gift and I have been able to use since because the computers I ahve access to are compatible with the Ipod. Any suggestions as where to go and …

I don't exactly understand your question. But if it's an iPod compatible computer you need, they're all iPod compatible (now). Whatever your problem, surely the son/daughter that…

If you're wondering where you can buy music online, then if you use iTunes there's a Music Store button on the side of the program. That will take you to all the music you need. …

I am sorry! what I meant was that both my home computer and my work computer are not compatible to the ipod because they are all SERVICE PACK 3 and when I called Apple they said th…

service pack 3??? Service Pack 4?? I thought Windows had onli until SP2 ??

Windows XP only goes up to Service Pack 2. Windows 2000, however, goes up to Service Pack 4. There should be nothing to worry about though. As long you have legitimate copies of…
