Irock, It's mine!

This is the kind of Mp3 player I have been looking for. It's small, holds 4 hours of music. Gets 30 hours of playback from 1 battery and it's slick as hell. I had a mini disc player but that broke very easily. This one, I am going to be very careful with.

And this one is very cheap, $99.00. I was going to buy it from school, but I don't think they accept Paypal :(

Red, do any of your suppliers carry this ;)

I don't think so. I can check.

Then you can review it so we can have another article. I already posted like 3 reviews on this so far. That and the Aero cooler are being reviewed left and right. :biglaugh:

Sweet! Did not realize my supplier does in fact have this.

check: http://services.iceteks.com/store.php#misc at bottom.

Only thing though, we're looking at a bit more then $99 but this is canadian funds so it might end up to be about the same price if what you said is american. But just remember I'll accept canadian funds only but it should be easy to make a canadian bank draft/money order.

Unfortunatly I can't accept paypal either though. I need a credit card to have an account I think.

If you do order it from me, I'll give COD a try again but be ready to send a canada money order in case they mess up again and don't take the money.

I forgot about trying pricewatch... Although I found an Irock for 88$, it said that was "brown bag Price" what's that mean?

And I can't wait to have this thing!!!!!

I have no clue. Maybe it means that shipping is not included or something. I did a google search and could not really find much on it.

Brown bag may mean it's not shipped in the original box. I've never seen that term used either. :unsure:

I've never heard that term either, but I tend to agree with wren. It's most likely the same product sans retail packaging - like it was originally intended to be sold in a bundle or something like that. If that's the case, the only thing I'd worry about is that it may not contain all the documentation and accessories you need, so be sure to ask before you buy.

Man, I can't find anywhere that takes paypal. I wish I could, cuz I hate to bother my mother and ask for her CC. Even though I pay her back before The item get's there, she thinks she is loosing money somehow. :banghead:

don't you have an atm card with the visa or mastercard logo?
they work as a cc.
or look on ebay. i just checked it out, and there is a nice selection, and they prefer paypal.

you could also try emailing the retailer you want to buy from and asking if they take paypal, some take it and don't advertize it

That's how it is with my mom. You don't know how hard it was to get this site up because of that. :rolleyes: I just hope it won't be as hard to renew it when we have to pay again. What's nice about this host is that they charge per year so it's less of a hassle.

Nope my Debit card sucks. I think i will try that, cuz I searched on Ebay and I didn't find anything cheap. Found it cheaper on some sites... i really want this thing bad, but I think i am going to go the 256 route... Anyone think I should just stick with 128mb memory? That is 4 hours of music....

Cool. Sorry I had completly forgot to actually try and get a review sample for you, but I see you found one. 4 hours should be plenty of time, a CD is 1 hour and 12 monutes about.

wow, the only downside, which is a big one, is that transferring files to it is going to take forever. I just put 180+ songs in the download list and it takes about 30 seconds for an average song.
