 ipods cost the earth September 25, 2007

How much is an ipod really worth?
ipods are one of the least environmentally friendly gadgets available. According to Apple they are only meant to last 12 months and they are designed to prevent customers replacing the toxic batteries when they wear out. So the 10 million ipods sold are all destined to sit in a landfills for the next million years leaking toxic chemicals.
Environmentalists have been criticising Apple since the ipod's original release.
How have Apple responded?
By using less packaging and boasting that they are green. What are they on?
The following is taken from Thegreenguide.com:
"But while Apple declares that they are `committed to reducing the environmental impact of the work [they] do and the products [they] create' the iPod is not designed to have its toxin-laden battery replaced or removed. Apple can live up to their environmental commitment by making all iPod's green.
How to Make a Green Apple
* Produce toxin-free iPods
* Design iPods so batteries can be easily and affordably replaced
* Provide take back and recycling options for iPods and other electronics"
Visit thegreenguide.com to sign a petition asking Apple to make greener ipods.
Just don't buy one.
I had an ipod. It lasted 2 years. It wasn't worth costing the earth.

from the previews that I read earlier I was prepared to knock of a star for the headphones since they are selling them as a unit and most reviewers needed to put another set, however, if you are using your music for average listening the headphones supplied are not too bad (I bought mine directly from apple thu). And I also haven't tested them on running (main reason to buy this magical thing for many people at least), and they do feel not very fitting like my other headphones. Other than that the unit is just another apple product, reliable (so far), strong, and very very easy to use (drag and drop philosophy), and using it with my macbook, the sync is done in a flash (that surprises me when I compared it to the obselete sony mp3 player software I was using before for my sony mp3 player). however, it already giving me weired messages when I tried to rearranged the songs (as you can rearrange it to the order you want it to play in), it sometimes will disconnect the device by itself, and when i try to eject the device it doesn't really recognize it, so when I disconnect the device, it says I disconnected it improperly, and you can imagine that a repeat of this action may shorten the device life span, but I hope I don't need to reach to that. if you would you use the autofill and be happy with whatever you get, it is not bad either as it has certain smart feature.. and sometimes it is a bit challenging to choose a 200+ songs single handedly! yet, it should give you the option without any trouble (which it does), but I need to understand the ordering more maybe... (or be a bit careful), all in all, the device worth the extra attention..... it is just really nice.. and makes life very easy, specially for practical and on go people..
one thing to add, attaching the devices to the computer is need some looking at. for each device a usb connection, it starting to be too much!.. I wish they either find a way to sync without (wireless), or a universal attachment that actually works!

How cool is this? Actually if you go to the gym its very cool and the sound quality and volume, useful in a noisy gym, are great too. You can switch it from random to order if you want to sequence your work out as well. Shame about itunes but apart from that its really cool.
Ooooh now in colour too! February 11, 2007

If you are a runner, then this HAS to be on your shorts somewhere. Steve Jobs has freed up the lone-runner experience over the past few years. Only 4 or 5 years ago my right hand had a Sony Waterproof Cassette Walkman velcro'ed to it (if the Walkman was clipped to your waist it jumped and warbled too much) which also meant to carry a water bottle tied up both your hands.
The first generation iPod Shuffle was a revalation, not only could you carry more music than you needed even for a marathon but it fitted into the key pocket on most running shorts. (but your house key was relegated to being tied on to your laces)
Now with the new version, you can clip it to your shorts and feel no bulk or weight atall whilst running along to all your best running and motivational tunes. And your keys can go back into the thoughtfully placed pocket on your shorts.
The included headphones, like for all iPods are pretty awful and do not stay in your ears when running but other than that the new Shuffle has to be the best workout kit (and bargain) of the year.
As of this week in the US Apple have released the Shuffle in a number of different (bright and terrific) colours. They are outstanding.....
