hehehe thought i'd seen it all,, now i have

bwahahahaahahaaaaa

Put 2 back to back and you can get Krappa too

So it turns out that the lovely W950i from Sony Ericson doesn't have a camera on it I can't believe it. Such a stompingly good phone and it has no camera, surely a strategic mistake by Sony Ericson in their battle against the (mini)ipod and other MP3 players etc.

its actually really clever i reckon.

this is directed at people exactly like you dunc - people that want a phone that they can use as their primary mp3 player too.

having a good mp3 player, a great phone AND an acceptable digital camera three-in-one device would make them pretty damn expensive (not to mention quite a bit bigger than this model is going to be).

besides, sony ericsson may anticipate that apple has an mp3 player/phone in their product pipeline and thus want to have a clear headstart on them...

Really you think so? I rekcon the sales would be far greater with cam, or perhaps a similar model with cam, than without. I was a cert to get it till I found that out so there's one sale gone...although I'm still mightely tempted

I have a work nokia sans camera and a SE with camera, their size is almost identical. I doubt adding their already well thought out and manufactured 2mp camera would increase the size so dramatically.
And they already have so many three-in-one devices that are small, almost as small as the 950 too. And seeing as it's flash memory not hard disk like the nokia and samsung fitting a good mp3 player is only a software not a hardware problem, and they already have that one wrapped up as proven by their other phones like the 800i and 810i. I think the 810i will probably be my choice in the end, I can expand the sonycard up to 2gig which is plenty for day to day use.

I think the only strategic reason not to have a camera is retail price, because why keep up with possible (erm...almost definate) future ipod phones when you can blow them out of the water before it's even released? Unless the blowing will come once the ipod phone without camera is released and thus extend the market life of the SE branded phones.

But it does look so lovely if I didn't have Edan I'd be getting it for sure but missing all those cute pic oppourtunities I just can't imagine not having a cam in my pocket 24/7 now

Oh decisions decicions.......

yeah, but if sony take apples approach to product release aswell, they will sell one without a camera thats good enough for everyone to want one, and then 6 months later will come the camera version (which the owners of the first one will be gagging for).
by the sounds of it they will still stay a step ahead of apple.

Well at least creative will have some money to spend on R&D now after Apple settled the lawsuit for a 100 million dollars,, only mention as i remember we spoke about the suit in this thread a while back.

it certainly will!!

So is ipods settlement of $100m (a seriously huge ammount in anyones back pocket) an admittance that they did just copy someone elses idea, market it better and tweak it a little to lead the world portable player market?

Fair play to them, they did a good job but Mr Jobs must be a little gutted at the moment, buffering his competitions wallet when he was doing so well at beating them at their own game.

It's good to see that Creative will be making accessories for ipod after the settlement too, add-ons for apple at realistic prices, to coin a popular tv advert phrase "what a refreshing change"

I think this settlement will make the portable music market really fun in a year or two. Apple will be desperate to claw back the $100m they just lost and creative will be working with them as well as having a phat cash boost to their recent drop in sales. But lets hope it doesn't just end up being a two horse race!!

hmmm... 100,000,000 dollars? Just want to check the number of noughts, because when i first read that it didn't seem so much...

Probably if it wasn't for that settlement though it could be a whole lot of a worse situation for apple, probably involving an expensive new redesign of their playlist, testing, relaunching, maybe they'd even have to withdraw current models... in comparison to a lot of extra costs and catch up time, to get back in the game, $100million was probably very little. (n.b. i don't actually know if this would've happened, i think most patent disputes are settled in the same way...?)

oh yes, and i'd have the all singing all dancing mp3 player phone camera if there was one that was cheap, with super duper amounts of storage space, a great camera lens, good sound quality, and was able to make transatlantic phonecalls, but it'd probably be as big as my head which would make texting quite difficult.... so i'm going to let them play with it for a bit first, i'll save up for the time when all that technology is contained within a swiss army knife for extra functionality

maybe that would be good!
i mean when your absolutly blind drunk you could punch in numbers with your fists...........
.........no? oh ok......

Or you might end up with some easy to use input format:)

30gb ipod video!


Shite.. not even 6 months old.. battery dead after 1 hour watching a video.

Dead after playing soliare for an hour.

battery life when new.. shockingly on several hours... and to listen to the lyrics in songs when riding a Vespa.. you gotta crack up the volume.

Why does it take forever to convert wma to mp3.. when you have 5000 songs to do!... mind you took me longer to rip them from cd.

After formating my PC .. yet more strife.. the music library located on this ipod doesnt reflect that of the pc... so off with 5000 songs and back on again with the same ones!...


in all dont buy an ipod!. im my honest opinion.. hoever serving as a portable HDD.. gotta love that when using internet shops when you dont have net access at home like me... great to burn to ipod and take it home!.

pk - other than the battery issue, it seems its not the ipod that you hate but rather itunes on a pc...

which is not suprising, cos it sucks

when i had a pc, i used this instead: anapod explorer

oh, and you either need to get yourself some good headphones or better, stop listening to a music player while riding a bloody scooter!
