What matters most, though, is that it isn’t made by Apple, right? Out in June, it starts at $US50 for 4GB, and goes up to $US90 for 16GB. [Creative via Wired]

Saturday, May 7, 2011 at 12:15 PMJust be glad Apple does have some competition.
Every time I have had to install iTunes on a computer, it has broken a driver of some description.
It corrupted the CD-Rom drivers on one of my old XP machines a couple years back, and my sisters Windows 7 computer spat its USB drivers out when I put iTunes on it for her iPhone, wtf is with that? Luckily that auto-recovered after a reboot and everything was fine.
iPods are ok, the software ain’t.

Saturday, May 7, 2011 at 11:33 PMiTunes is worse than “not ok”. Itunes is the resource hogging bloatware that makes many otherwise excellent windows PCs into unusable slow-booting hulks.. and it’s not just iTunes, it’s the other services that Apple pile in there with it. (iTunes is a package of 6 programs)
Do your computer a favour. Either uninstall it (including Quicktime and Bonjour) OR:
Type [windows key] MSCONFIG [enter]. Go to the ‘stratup’ tab and uncheck iTunes, iTunes updater, Quicktime and Bonjour. While you’re at it, uncheck Arcotray and Acrobat reader.
All of these pregrams will load up just fine WHEN YOU NEED THEM. They don’t need to be there permanently hogging memory and slowing up your boot/sleep/wake times.

Too bad I already have one of those new nanos, otherwise I’d hit it up.
