Can Creative be any less creative?

I know Creative is desperate but this isn't even funny. What is worse, i want back my 15 minutes i spent reading the moronic comments. >.:)

i think apple should sue the to the court for this stuff

#337618

wow. most interesting.

#337621

even the UI seems iPod ish to me, how pathetic :confused:

#337623

Why's that pathetic? If they sell more by copying some other design why shouldn't they do it? It's not original, but hey, what in this world is?

#337630

Isn't it more expensive than the iPod?

#337633

This is downright sad. Look at the GUI on that piece of crap, it looks 90 % identical to the ipod's.

#337635

Apple will pwn them with the iPod nano video. ;)

This is pathetic. Seriously, in specs, looks, UI, and other small features this shows how much Creative is a wannabe Apple.

Except Creative sucks.

#337638

I'll have to say "F U" to Creative. Man the menu is totally a rip off!!

Here in Sweden the Swedish Patent And Registration Office would probably start a prosecution in the District Court. I hope that Creative will file for appeal all the way to The Supreme Court of Sweden so that they can suffer by the judgement.

These are of course surreal opinions, but it would be cool. :P

I see this as excellent - If more people put up competition for Apple - it only means better prices and more inovation for us... You don't like it? dont buy it... simple.

#337641

I just love it when our little Apple fanboys get mad over something like this. As Tricky said, it's not like you have to buy it.

#337646

funny thing is in dubai there is no copyright laws so , they could make it exactly like the iPod but just change the name and it would be legal.

#337648

Umm Tricky you must have confused competition with copying.

Competition presumes innovation, better specs, design, not blatant copying and whining when we can't sell our crappy players ;) There is nothing innovative about this player. And i don't like this, creative's blatant copying, and as a consumer i have the right to whine. In the end, it's all about the consumer, right?

If they sell more by copying some other design why shouldn't they do it? It's not original, but hey, what in this world is?

Of course! God forbid we respect moral norms, copyright laws and millions of dollars someone spent on R&D.

WAIT! I know!

Let's all copy whatever we like, sell it bellow what our competition charges (since we don't have R&D costs) call NEW and EXCITING and get rich! Cool huh? :D

It's easy to blame it on fanboys to conseal your own ignorance ;)

#337654

Flippin crud!

I prefer the my iPod still, might get one just to compare the two.

#337655

I guess Creative can do what they want as they have the Patent for Music player menus. Not a lot Apple can do at this stage.

#337662

rubbish...what a expensive rip off...this is purely designed for the people who deep down like ipods but want to be different and unique (because they ar ignorent) so they buy something else which is a rip off and then say its better....

#337665

Lol keep playing with yourself ;)

#337674

Hmm, personally I think this is a good thing..... you all say the iPod's navigation system is awesome yet when someone uses it, they suck. Besides, I'm a consumer so this seems awesome... and it supports video formats people actually use, which is cool.

#337706

Not sure what's worse, the above posts or the mp3 player.

#337721

creative hardware blows. so it would be the mp3 player.

they even have the same battery icon, this is just lame.

(oh, and to the dude calling the people upset apple fanboys...why are u here if u dont like apple?

)

#337741

ignorance is bliss.

#337743

wow that is a total ripoff of apples.

#337746

I never said I didn't like Apple (wouldn't buy their hardware though ;)). And unbe, I didn't mean excact copying, I meant the design in general. How many original mp3 players have you seen? I'm talking about the models which have HD in them. If you look around, many of them resemble the ipod. I know that there are completely different models available, but the most popular ones look the same.

I was pretty sure everyone would just think that it's ok for me that people copy everything. But that's what happens when your vision is fanboy-blurred ;)

#337778

How many original mp3 players i've seen? A lot. Which one was the most original and revolutionary? The market and consumers clearly stated it.

And why do the most popular ones look the same? Do you know how mp3 players looked before the iPod? I do and it wasn't pretty.

Also you might wanna check your definition of fanboy ;)
