Ten Reasons to Hate the iPod

No the tuner FM: what a pleasure of being able to listen to its station of preferred radio! Unfortunately, Apple did not have the idea to equip its readers with a tuner FM. Frankly, how much would that cost them to add a radio function?

Stripes: it is true, new the iPod nano completion aluminum resists the stripes, but its retro design points out a little the mini model. However, us one hates to retrogress. At the end of two days, the nano first generation resembled a true skating rink, after which it was found quickly emmitouflé under a case or a hull of protection.

Autonomy of battery: once again, let us not forget that the iPod of first generation spent less time to empty its batteries than an alcoholic to emerge a beer. Without speaking about the difficulty of replacing them. Meanwhile, the things did not evolve/move much, including for the most recent models. One finds gadgets Taiwanese bottom-of-the-range which last twice longer. Ca makes reflect.

DRM: numerical management of the rights = galère. Even if the FairPlay system leaves a little more room for manoeuvre, difficult to be found there.

iTunes: the service iTunes is oddly conceived. If we do not have any problem particular to us in dépêtrer, that becomes a little wearying to try to explain of them all the aspects with our parents or grandparents. iTunes is not convivial enough and it does not follow sufficiently Windows conventions.

No Bluetooth: As for is the tuner FM, really difficult to add a Bluetooth function to the iPod? It is however so practical! One could finally get rid of all this tangle of cables which take a malicious pleasure to be rolled up around us when one looks at elsewhere and oblige us to spend one hour per day to disentangle them.

The friend of the robbers: one cannot really be upset with him, but the iPod is so popular that to carry white ear-phones is equivalent today walking with a target in the back. Perhaps what while leaving the black official auricles or colors, one would manage to divert the attention of the robbers during a time?

The young people want of them new every six month: Steve Jobs itself recognized: the iPod must be very frequently replaced. It is true also that any general public electronic instrument which wants to be powerful very quickly becomes obsolete. But if Apple could make so that the kids are a little petitioning, let us be we eternally grateful to him.

No the widescreen: why to have preserved a format of screen as exceeded as the 4X3? We want of 16:9, the future is in 16:9! And as long as you are there, propose to us another thing that vidéos 640x480 on iTunes.

No WiFi: Apple could have proposed a iPod WiFi to us since good a long time, as Microsoft is on the point of doing it with its Zune.

iPod, we wish you a good and happy birthday
