The first time I bought an Ipod was when they launched the shuffle. Because life is random they said... And I fell in love with the thrill of not knowing what was coming next. Then the geeks at Apple convinced me that 1GB was not enough... I upgraded to an Ipod mini 4GB in apple green.. 4 times the storage size of my shuffle! I felt real cool whipping it out in the gym and getting some curious looks... not everyone had a green MP3 player! Then later on, Apple said, "well, the Ipods we sold you before were kinda big. And color is out. Try the new slim Ipod Nano and Ipod Video!" That's when I said enough.
I admitted to myself that even though these things really make you look cool, there are so many things about the Ipod that suck:
1. They're expensive.
2. When they're damaged, expect to buy a new one since fixing them will cost the same as buying a new one.
3. Synching sounds thrilling in the beginning, but nothing beats the plain old Drag n' Drop
4. As with trendy apparel, after a year, they're soooo out of style. Today, I can no longer use my dated 4GB Ipod mini.
5. There'll always be someone who'll have the same Ipod as you have and later on, someone will always have the latest model that will be better than yours.
6. All its own and third-party made accessories are over-priced. Half a pair of a small sock for 500 bucks???
Enter CD-R KING's line of MP3 PLAYERS. They're dirt cheap, easy to operate, dirt cheap, they look exactly like Ipods, and THEY'RE DIRT CHEAP! Their shuffle look-alikes go for 990 bucks and their Nano look-alikes go for 1,290 bucks. They're built to last too! I left my CD-R KING Nano clone (or what I call my Ipod Micro) in my shorts which ended up in my laundry. My Ipod Micro was ruined! It wouldn't turn on. After having dried up the next day, it was working again! It was as if nothing happened! True story! And even if they stopped working, it would only cost me 1,290 to get a new one! As for the cool factor, since they look exactly like Ipods from afar, who can tell they're clones? =)
Forget Zune, Sony and Creative... CD-R KING is the real Ipod killer!
