Sorry, I strongly disagree there. Both Marlof & I use iPods alongside our Pocket PCs all the time. |
If you disagree than tell me one way that an iPOD enhances the functions of a Pocket PC. It's not integrated, it's a separate device, it requires a separate charger... the iPOD has no way to communicate with a Pocket PC be it transferring files or allowing remote control...
The iPOD may be supplementary, but it is in no way complimentary.

Exactly! Then why do we care? It ONLY does music. A 30 year old walkman can play music through headphones, too. Sure the iPOD can store more music, but... essentially, it's still just a walkman.

Maybe you don't listen to as much music as I do, then. I find music invaluable, especially during my commute or during work in a server room. |
I listen to music whenever I'm not sleeping. Having ALL my music on the iPOD would restrict my listening capabilities to a single limited device.You cannot control an iPOD remotely either with a Pocket PC or infrared remote control or desktop PC. Not to mention, it wouldn't play all my WMA files.

What reasoning do you have to back that statement?
A Pocket PC has much more functionality than a Sharp Wizard.
A Pocket PC plays music, plays movies, plays video games, lets you read ebooks, communicate via internet, email, instant messaging, telephone, SMS, MMS, lets you connect to other devices and networks wirelessly or through wired connections. It recognizes handwriting recognition and voice commands. It tells you which way to go while communicating with a global positioning system. It takes digital photographs and lets you send them to other people instantly.
An iPOD does what?
Plays music.
A Walkman does what?
Plays music.
