In just about any area of the business world you have two basic types of companies or products competing against one another, the “name brand” and the “off brand”. The name brand could be the one that everyone notices while the off brand is the one with a name just because it has to have one OR the name brand may be the product in that field at the time. This is the case with digital music players today as there are a number of “MP3 players” on the market right now … then … there is the iPod. Consider a few areas of comparison.
Your first idea to consider is that of the fact that you can buy a digital music player from, say, Toshiba for around $250 while iPod produces the same 60GB player for around $400. Because you constantly see people discussing the beauty and wonder of the iPod in comparison to all others you believe that it is obviously the way to go, but when it comes to hard drive, space is space. In this case, it is just as easy as saving $150!
The next thing you should consider if you are the type that gets frustrated easily with head games being played by major corporate types is that iPod requires you to use their format to play on their player. Instead of normal MP3 files that are used by most everybody else, iPod requires use of their style of file so if you get frustrated by meaningless problems; you might consider an “off brand” MP3 player.
In the end, when you are buying a digital music player the argument is much the same as just about everything else you purchase for a large amount, do you want to be hip or practical? If you want to be hip and carry around your newest gadget on your arm to show off to all of those around you then you need to go with the iPod and forget about the money. If you want to save some money and have a lot of space to store songs in without regard for what people think of your taste then go with the “off brand”.
