SANDISK, creator of the world's 2nd best-selling mp3 person (behind Apple's iPod) has started a fresh anti-iPod advertising campaign. You can learn about it in more detail here http://crave.cnet.co.uk/digitalmusic/0,39029432,49273890,00.htm Here's the fuss in a nutshell. SanDisk is considered porting Rockbox, an OS for electronic audio people (which supports many different mp3 devices), onto its common e200 mp3 player. To bring the situation to public consciousness, SanDisk has started delivering the before-mentioned anti-iPod ads in an try to coldly strike its arch-nemesis, Apple. The ads reflect graffiti-like illlustrations designed to resemble posters for an underground revolutionary movement. One shows a horse sporting the iPod headphones with the line 'Are you an iChimp?', and another is-of some guy strung up in white iPod cables such as a marionette, with the text 'Have you become an iPuppet'?

Mp3 competition is fierce- I get it. Visit [http://www.abc12.com/story/26522759/ledified-in-heated-battle-for-first-in-fundable-staples-competition fundable staples] to discover why to see this belief. SanDisk wants to perform rough- fine by me. As far as I am concerned, open-source is good stuff, and there is little doubt in my head that SanDisk makes a good product. Competition is wonderful for the customer and capitalism. I'm perhaps not here to tout the technological ability of 1 geek gadget over another. What I will discuss, but, is the character of-the ads themselves. I took one look at these things and I will tell you right now that I am not going to move from iPod to e200. You know why? Since as an i-pod individual, I feel like I'm being insulted. Hi, I am not a complicated guy so I will not go into the whole nitty-gritty of 'Apple makes you do this-and-that blah blah blah and it only works together with iTunes blah blah blah.' I connect the iPod into my computer and the damn thing works. That's why I use it. I think, SanDisk's whole 'innovative' ad method, however provocative, is eventually misguided. For starters, I will not be won by SanDisk over by insulting me and comparing me to a monkey, puppet, sheep, or some other type of farm animal. Subsequently, SanDisk's advertisements also evoke a political advantage, making no sense. For better or for worse, people buy iPods because they WANT TO, maybe not because they are forced to. More over, Apple allows its products and services to stand on their own advantage and they never offend people for perhaps not with them. Going To [http://www.abc12.com/story/26522759/ledified-in-heated-battle-for-first-in-fundable-staples-competition ledified competition] likely provides cautions you can tell your family friend. Even though Apple has poked fun at PCs in their own internet and TELEVISION activities, it's a far cry from SanDisk's 'Have you been an iPuppet'? approach. Perhaps I am an i-pod individual who's taking this whole thing a little too personally. Should you choose to be taught new information about [http://www.abc12.com/story/26522759/ledified-in-heated-battle-for-first-in-fundable-staples-competition small blue arrow], there are tons of libraries you should consider pursuing. However if the e200 and Rockbox are so excellent, which I am certain that they're, probably SanDisk must just inform us why and allow the people choose. For many of SanDisk's anti-iPod energy, Apple can simply fire back and say SanDisk continues to be number 2, and 2nd place will be the first loss. Even if it is true, it'd be insulting, right?.
