Walt Mossberg Loves iPod Photo, Dislikes iRiver H320
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Our verdict: The iPod Photo was just as easy, and satisfying, to use with photos as it is with music. It's a winner, if a little pricey. But the iRiver player is complicated and clumsy, designed by techies for techies."
Yeah, I was shocked too. Mossberg is such a hard critic of Apple products. :roll: Although I think iPod Photo probably is the better of the two in terms of usability, the iRiver is very impressive. A recent trip to Best Buy gave me a glimpse of some of the iPod's competition, and I must say the offerings I sampled are looking better and better. And the latest iPod introductions seem like ho-hum incremental upgrades to me. But I'll wait until I actually see them up close before I slam the gavel down.
