Have a bit of a session with your mates and get to some food stuck inbetween your teeth do you try and find a tooth pick or just use the stylus?
Is there some safety concerns here?

your stupidity once again astounds me.
> iPods connect to PC's - not just Mac's.
Nice to see you know alot about macs.
Point 1) the figures are saying that nintendo has sold over a million or something when it took the ORIGINAL ipod like 9 months or something.
Point 2) The original ipod worked only with macs. If you them on ebay though there willbe pc compatible ones, this is because quite a bit later after releasing it they borught one which just works with indows out.
The last 3 (well 2 nd a hlaf coz one was just a memory upgrade) generations of ipod have been possible of working with Pc's and macs as it comes witha firewire cble which both pcs an macs can have.

All forms of transport, all create long boring journeys...the movies are something to do.
Mind you i see the reason for putting movie playback in now, the PSP will need them so you have something worthwhile to do...

A: They aren't that popular and B: The screens are bigger.
I bet £100 right now that the PSP movie ability will not take off.

Not when they were first released.
That's the point.
Reggie says "We sold more than I-pod did at the start"
Well come on, that's a ridiculous statement.
> iPods connect to PC's - not just Mac's.
Initially they only connected to Macs.
What I believe Dringo was saying was that Nintendo compared the initial sales of the DS to the initial sales of the iPod, which was a bad choice because when iPods were first released, they only connected to Macs.
Do you see?

iPods connect to PC's - not just Mac's.
> It's the same thing with DVD players in PS2s. Everyone says "wow

I found that too, i remember at one stage when a mate brought his around we actually used it just to test it, he had never used.
But then i actually knew someone who got a PS2 and got about two games (both crap btw) and he spent all his money on DVDs to play on it.
What a waste of money, would of been cheaper to buy a stand alone DVD and get better quality with it.
