iPod Classic. 60% of the price is for the Apple logo on the back of the device, and another 20% is for the large hard drive. I won't talk about the convenience or inconvenience of syncing with Apple software, because that's a matter of taste, but Apple shouldn't have deprived users of the ability to at least put music on the iPod without iTunes, so you have to go through a thousand different third-party programs, each of which has its own glitches and bugs, or find a way to do everything through the Apple player, which is extremely uncomfortable for me, for example.
The sound is complete garbage. My HTC HD2 has better sound. There is no bass at all, and if you turn on the bass or rock equalizer, the bass appears in many songs, but it starts to distort terribly. No, it's not the headphones or a faulty device: I had two different iPods (one from 2007 or 2009 with 120 GB and one newer one with 160 GB), and I listened with different headphones of different prices (my Sennheiser IE80 also distorts with the equalizer). And it would be okay if they allowed you to create your own equalizer presets, as they have been doing on all normal players for a long time, but no, use only the ones that are available. And all I need is to adjust the preamp.
Not long ago, I was given an old, very old Sony player to listen to, and I plugged in my headphones and was amazed: the sound was amazing. The iPod can't even be compared to it.
The interface doesn't provide a wide range of functionality. I can't even view the file tags; there simply isn't such an option. It only displays the artist, title, album, and lyrics (or unsynced lyrics for mp3). However, you can view, for example, a list of genres or a list of composers (and play them accordingly). The only good thing is that it displays the lyrics.
I did manage to set up synchronization with Foobar, so that the album year is also displayed on my iPod (this is very convenient, because I usually remember the history of bands not by the names of albums, but by the year they were released), some comments, the length of the track (directly in the list of songs, and not in the playback window), and other nice features.
The only advantage of this model is the really large amount of memory, which is what makes me use the iPod instead of buying a normal player.
Since we're talking about sound, I'll say a few words about iTunes. You won't believe it, but there are also distortions in the sound if you turn on the equalizer. Guys, I really don't know why many people don't hear these distortions on the iPod and in iTunes; maybe those of us who hear them are just very strange.
In everything else, the player is like any other player, only almost uncustomizable. As far as I know, there are no skins available for it, although I may be wrong.
In the summer, I used an iPad 2. I'll immediately say that I didn't have a jailbreak.
It's a good device for browsing the internet, playing games, and chatting on Skype. That's it. It's inconvenient to watch movies because the player is very picky about formats. I downloaded some programs, but none of them could find a rational solution to the problem. The programs were free; I didn't buy any paid ones, and without them, as I understood it, there's no point in using the iPad.
In addition, it's not very convenient to watch widescreen content on the "square" screen.
It's quite suitable for browsing the internet, but with some limitations. For example, it doesn't allow you to upload a file somewhere because it doesn't have a file system. There were some inconveniences with entering captchas. After ten open tabs, they start to disappear without the user knowing.
I don't remember what else I didn't like, so I'll move on to the pros. It won't take long. It has a long battery life (it really doesn't drain much when it's just lying around). It has convenient gestures based on multitouch - various switching between windows, minimizing windows, and so on. And nothing freezes - the iPad doesn't crash and works perfectly smoothly. It keeps a lot of applications running in the background, opens them instantly, and doesn't drain the battery.
In general, I think any Android tablet will be much better than the iPad in many ways.
I haven't used any other Apple products and don't want to. In addition, the prices for Apple products are really unreasonably high, which discourages me from buying anything from Apple. I don't need to show off; I'd rather pay extra for something that has as few of these "show-off" features as possible.
Apple devices are quite good and usable for most people (they're just very expensive), but if you need to customize something, then you're out of luck; you're not in the majority, so buy something else. (I don't know anything about jailbreaking because I haven't used it).
I wrote a bad post, but whatever.
