Portable Media Player / Smartphone

Heya

feel like buying a new PMP as my ipod touch 2g feels kinda slow

atm i own lots of so called audiophile DAPs that dont stand up to what i expected:

Teclast T51:

+ nice uncolored music output
+ lineout
- looks like a ipod clone
- horrible battery life
- worst UI in history

Hifiman HM602:

+ DAC/AMP feature
- Battery
- no PMP
- colored output that dont go well with my customs

Ipods/Sansa Fuze/Sansa Clip:

+ Ipod easy to customize
+ Okish Output with an LOD
- Slow
- Sansa = DAP only


I dont really want a smartphone as i got a 0815 phone that doesnt cost me anything (daddy is paying) but asoon its cheap iam ok with it

possible PMPs that i consider buying

Geekphone Zero

This is a walkman!
I would recommend the Apple iPhone 4s 3G. It does everything I want and I find the size is just PERFECT. (I've seen ANDROID (lol) phones the size of TABLET PCs, TRY GETTING THAT INTO A NIGHT CLUB).
pretty expensive for what i get ... the Cirrus Logic DAC that are used in iphones and ipods nowdays are supposed to sound shittier than older models with a wolfson dac ... the ipod touch 2g was the last touch device that got an wolfson therefore it wouldnt be an upgrade in my eyes

beside that my earphones already cost me a kidney ... would never take them to a club

The iPhone 4S is the best in it's class, if you're poor I guess it's ok if you settle for less.

hurr


no , also i dont care about many features ... yes audio quality is very important and in that regard the iphone sucks

QuoteThe iPhone 4S is the best in it's class

its the "best" simply because its alone in its price class (srsly, there is nothing thats sold even remotely close to 4S's price). When it comes to features/power, its matched (and in some cases topped) by phones that are sold for 2/3 of price of 4S.

Well, the official Apple magazine says otherwise. :)

Well, www.whymacsucks.com says otherwise. :)

Good for a laugh, but not enough for the real world. :\

You should read articles then and not just watch pictures

I tried galaxy 2 and iphone 4s.
The samsung has a slimmer form, perfect to hold in the hand/pocket and the sound is better than on iphone. It can do everything too.

2v2 offi now low/med

Galaxy SII + Spotify = winning
I use J3 for almost a year now, its incredible audio player (as basically every Cowon), it has extensive battery life and microSD support. But if you want video on that, well, its screen is nice but its rather small and J3 does not offer full h264 support. I cant say watching video on that is painfull but it certainly could be more pleasant (if I want to watch smth on the go, I rather use my SGSII).
no Wifi and a internal amp section is a let down though
