thanks.. what i'm going to do is buy the iPod (i gotta save first.. ) then try it for a week or so, then if the battery life really is poor ill send it back..

You will miss FM, line-in recording, voice recording, long battery life (35 hours ), distinctive design (iPod is just too common nowadays , usb connection (you need a firewire port to use an iPod), excellent sound quality (just turn on your cw300), availability as a HD in "my computer" instead of being stuck to itunes, etc.

iPod has sound equalisers that can be preset for different songs, it has a volume control check thing to keep different songs the same volume, and other little things to produce a crisp sound....

No you can't... At least not with an ugly accessory which you have to buy.

iAudio's have better sound quality (never heard an iPod, that's from reviews I've read) and an excellent equalizer with presets and custom settings, plus bass boost config and ambience effects.

really? Didn't know that. /selfslap

(I'm not saying iPods are bad, it's just they are not "the best" in mp3 players, they have very good competition)

Bach, and Guido.. about the voice recorder...

I just found this:

Using the iPod to record in mono
To record right now:

* Plug in earphones

* Activate Diagnostic Mode - Reset (hold MENU and PLAY) and hold down PREVIOUS, NEXT and CENTER buttons at Apple logo - Release buttons and you'll hear a chirp and Diagnostic mode will appear

* Use Next button to navigate to "J. RECORD"

* Speak into Left earphone when "BEGIN..." appears

* You'll get about 6 sec. of record time and then "DONE"

* Press center button for playback

* Press Play/Pause to return to list of tests

(There is also a stereo line-in but that is in the dock connector and activated by "F. LIN REC".)

Go ahead bach, try it out!

That sounds so fake
-"We haven't tested it"
-They put voice recording into the iPod, but deactivate it??
-An earbud that has a HIDDEN MICROPHONE on one side, PLUS it passes the mic audio through a standard headphones mini plug which only has two channels (L and R)?
-That was posted an year ago, and only THAT site (or at least just a few) comments on it?
