iPod touch Man....no camera, missing apps and worst of all....NO SPEAKER!!

[gloss]

Took it to the local subway sandwich I go to today & handed it over to the owner so he could check it out. He starts watching The Matrix in my movies section. What does he do?? (Sorry, no I didn't set this up).

Puts it up to his ear & says......."I can't hear it!"

And my car won't drive me anywhere unless I'm inside it, but you don't see me bitching on the Mazda forums.

You would be if Mazda had forgotten to include reverse! (equally lame analogy?)

Both lame analogies, but can we attempt to inject some humor in next time?
You got it for free, sweet, so I'll buy it for let's saaaay $100? Otherwise I will be getting the iPhone whenever I feel the time is right.

My toilet still doesn't wipe my ass for me, but you don't see me starting a thread about it!

Maybe we'll get a camera and speaker with 1.1.3

I've already done a double-take a couple times now forgetting I need to have earphones to hear anything when I'm showin' off the new "toy".

So, you feel that touch needs a tiny speaker so you could "show off" your new toy?

My sister's iPhone was easy to show off.

So, your entire family is a bunch of show-offs?

Plus, w/o a camera, there's no instant gratification in the pixel department.

An iPod with a camera? Right....

So every time you wanna sample something you just loaded (w/ visual interface) you've gotta stuff them buds back in your ears again, eh??

Um, yes? What's the point of having a tiny speaker with crappy sound-quality? So you could "show off" your device?

And who gives a rip about kids on the bus..........I haven't ridden a bus since grade school! WTF?

Um, some of us spend quite a bit of time on public transportation.

It's about having the option!! We could always *not* use them, but you can't poop 'em!

Yeah! the touch should also have a blender, laserpointer and a labelmaker! It's about having the option!!

1 of something is 100% better than none of something.

"Perfection is not achieved when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away".

The features you want would make the device bigger, heavier, clumsier, more expensive.... And for what? So you could "show off" your device?

Uhhhhhh.........got it as a gift from work. We all got 'em.

So you got it for free, and you whine? Oh the humanity!

And as for playing things loud thru a built in speaker?? Nooooo........how about just samplin' the F'n sound of the movie it just took me 7 hours to convert so when I hand it to a coworker to check out

And for that they should add a tiny speaker? I'm sorry but that's just retarded. Why do you need to "sample" the sound? Sample it with the frigging earbuds!

LOL!! I promise you I'm older than most on this forum and probably all in this thread.

Yet you sound like a frigging 12-year old.

Can I vote for this thread in the annual "dumbest thread in MacRumors-contest"?

 

[i.maverick]

very very true, that is so annoying

blast...have u heard the speaker??!!
LOL!

Yes, I put my headphones back on. Because that's what they're for.

And you'd be surprised how many people care about the kids on the bus blasting their music through mobile phones etc. Just because you don't ride a bus anymore, doesn't mean a vast majority don't.

Plug in some external portable speakers if it bothers you that much when you want to 'show off' your iPod.

Adding a speaker would have probably made it hard to keep the current dimensions of the device which is one thing that the touch has over the iphone. It's an attempt to balance out what it has missing from the iphone, making it a different device.

Of course everyone knows it is a bit lacking compared to the iphone, that's the point, but i think they were at least trying to make it a separate device as much as possible, rather than a featureless iphone.

You DO have an option, its called iPhone. Get your working self to a store and get one, don't want it, its your option as well, just don't complain about not taking the option that will fix your complaints.

WTF was Jobs thinking???

I've already done a double-take a couple times now forgetting I need to have earphones to hear anything when I'm showin' off the new "toy".

Haven't we been trying to get RID of wires for the last decade??

My sister's iPhone was easy to show off. Plus, w/o a camera, there's no instant gratification in the pixel department.

Thinkin' I might just exchange this Touch for an iPhone & get the real deal. Just hack it & use it as what a ipod Touch *SHOULD* have been.

What the heck does "instant gratification in the pixel department" mean?

PLEASE do this quickly and go to the iPhone forums.

LOL!

Those tiny built-in speakers in various devices might not be ghettoblasters, but they are enough to annoy the crap out of other people. If you want to listen to music, put the headphones on!

 

[andybno1]

Also means you won't have annoys brats on the bus blasting out their music.

they got mobiles for that lol I hate sitting on the bus with my loverly ipod just to be interupted by some kids annoying crappy music feel like grabin their phones an chuckin them out the window lol

Maybe we'll get a camera and speaker with 1.1.3

we can but live in hope lol

 

[doobi18]

come on.


you're just whinging that the ipod touch doesn't have the things which would make it an iphone.


you talk about MEANT to have; an internet browser and other features on it are surely more than an ipod was ever MEANT to have, you can't really complain there.


and maybe you should have gotten an iphone...

 

[big-blue-wolf]

The original poster is complaining about getting a £200 iPod as a gift!

He's an arsehole with **** for brains

Vote #2.

I really don't this posting. Why didn't you just buy the iPhone then?

I think the bigger problem is that you let slimy meat hands touch your iPod.
LOL!!

 

[andybno1]

what I would like to have seen as a given with the ipod is the apps from iphone, yeh I know its an ipod blah blah but stuff like that would be nice to see as extras

 

[azz0r]

I would have preffered it had speakers and mail without a jailbreak.

one word---- GET AN IPHONE -----okay maybe three, but that is what the iphone is for, its a marketing scheme, if you want that you compramise the ipod and have to purchase a phone plan as well.

hahah slimy meat hands. so true.

That's hilarious.

Dumbest thread.......

This guy's an idiot.......

Insert typical anal-retentive, forum hypocritical, fodder here........

Followed up by posts sprinkled amongst the horse***** like.....

"Ya, I wish it had apps like the iPhone.....".

"Would've preferred it had speakers & mail w/o jailbreak......."
