Report.
Alright, after scavenging through the site i found a few.
I will go by GB, starting form 16, 32 and 64 and 160.
16 GB
the smallest, costing only 150 €uro, Sony Walkman NWZ-E575B
AS said,. only 16GB memory, but has a Up to 36Hours of playbacktime, music.
It has buttons, unnecessary big screen tho, the long batterytime is a big plus.
Not sure if FM chip(for radio)
Worthy opponent.
32GB
This is t he harder section, for double the price i get double the storage? Right.
And Sony Walkman NWZ-F806B at 300€uro
And newest Apple iPod touch for 280€uro
Sony runs Android Icecreamsandvich (4.0)
SCreen is a touchscreen on 3.5 inch WVGA 800x480 resolution(Nerdalert)
Has Wifi, bluetooth and gps and those touchscreen goodies.
Ofcourse google play store.
Now, it has no buttons, well, a couple but nothing as button only control.
Playbacktime is about 20 hours
Ipod touch.
3.5inch Retina display with 960 x 640 pixel resolution(more pixels same screen size)
uses IOS(surprise? nah)
Wifi, has bluetooth but not that reliable, No FM chip, and no GPS(i like gps in my touchscreen toys)
BAtterylife up to at best luck 40 hours, music only playing.
Here's Ipod poking the victory a little, DAmnit, but i did not want a touchscreen, but i thought it was fair to have these two combatants here.
64GB
Here's only ipods for about 450 €uro, thought i'd mention.
160€
WTF!? are you maybe thinking, a 160GB option in around 300€uro section?
Hear this out children!
Apple Ipod Classic 160GB
Yes, 160GB of goodies!
290€uro
Has a small screen, something you may call a button.
Batterylife up to 36 hours.
To the downsides?
It's apple, you need itunes to do ANYTHING,
And this is the only device tha t has a real small HardDrive(HDD) in it o_o
You heard me right, harddrive, cost less per bit than a flash, but is mroe sensitive.
Also the device is as big as my 3.5inch phone(samsung galaxy ace)
___________
Special mentiion.
Got 680€uro extra?
Colorfly Pocket HiFi C4 Pro
It got wood, it got brass
[link]Apparently wonderful music quality.
32GB built in, possible to upgrade with memorycards with additional 32. addint upto 64.
No idea about batterylife, but the battery is a massive 2000Mah and 3.7v
I would guess about 20+?
So.. do i really have opt out for a ipod classic?
