Apple is fucking worse than Microsoft.
I bought the iPod Touch. I was like this is going to be sweet!
However
- I learnt that iTunes on Windows is fucking brain retarded.
- I cannot copy a jpeg onto the touch without syncing a folder
- I CANNOT COPY A JPEG ONTO THE TOUCH WITHOUT SYNCING A FOLDER
- Syncing is retarded (goes for ALL mp3 players). I accidentally wiped out my music collection by syncing it with my work laptop.
- DRM Music. I purchased 3 songs from the iTunes store on my work laptop. Guess what? They're gone forever because I didn't back them up illegally.
- The videos only take Mp4; how fucking long do you think you can get away with this? It doesn't even take it's retarded QT format.
- I can't possibly separate my own mp3 in the podcast section. Only if I use iTunes.
- Playlist management is a fucking joke (aka there IS none (not without iTunes)).
- They tried to force me to pay $10 for a software update since I purchased it before Jan 2008. (fuck you to all who tell me this is justified)
- I turn the Touch and charge it while it's off. It's mean to be on and charged. Great way to kill the battery intentionally (planned obsolecense anyone?)
- How long do you think you can get away with not putting in a radio?
- I felt that they usurped features to not make it compete with the iPhone.
This is probably the last Apple purchase I'm going to make. I was considering a laptop but I think this is the end. I'm either going to get a BlackBerry, HTC Touch Diamond, or N95.
