People With iPods at your School

[DC12112]

At school I've noticed alot of people with ipods, mainly minis. So I have no threat of getting mine stolen. Do you have alot of people at your school with them?

[morning_glory]

Yes, and I hate it. As much as I enjoy seeing them, it's just a trend. Just as the LIVE STRONG bands were last year.

[krzymono]

Seriously, I see so many people with white earphones (I know other brands have white ones too) that it's not even funny. I kind of liked it when I was one of the few guys who had it. Everytime I pulled it out everyone was like, "WHOA, IS THAT THE IPOD!?!??" Back then they were like "300 bucks!?!?! INSANE!!!"

Either everyone became rich or 300 bucks is just not a big deal anymore.

No, it's just that it's become a trend, and people will pay anything for a trend.

[QWER]

I saw a guy with one of those "Live Strong" bracelets smoking a cigarette the other day. mabe i have a sick sence of humor, but i think that is hilarious! :)

[Dougboy]

yea, i wouldnt say lots of ppl, but a quite a few got ipods. Minis seems to be most popular. and then shuffles. Not too many have the larger ones

[Maxman]

In my school, from what I see, the mini is by far the most popular. Then a few people have regulars. I only know a few people to have a shuffle (many people which I talk to dislike the shuffle).

[Capital R]

Most people I have seen have the 4G iPod and the mini. I'm one of about like 5 people (including 1 teacher) who have 3G iPod's. I think 2 people have shuffles. About 95% of the iPod users at my school use the stock 'buds, so I'm disappointed in them for that.

[AJD1992]

Alot of people have them at my school, so i also have very little threat of my baby being stolen :D Most have mini's, but a few have the bricks :p

[Aero277]

As far as I know, there are a total of three full size ipods at school. The other ones are probably mini's. I've seen a few people with white earbuds.

[AHHHHHHH]

Not alot of the majority off ppl have ipods in my school Im gonna say...1/7th of my school has ipods. I do see alot of ppl on the bus with ipods, gotta love the white earbud trademark ;)

[morning_glory]

The thing that bothers me is that I know people whow were telling me "iPods are for losers" when I got my 3rd gen, but now cary around minis and wave them in my face.

[MaStAViC]

Have yet to see anyone with iPod Nano's at the San Jose State University campus.

-=MaStA ViC

[willhockey16]

I counted nearly 50 ipods and 47 white earbuds one day on campus. And down in middle school i estimate there were about 30 and everyone except for me used the stock earbuds. Another thing to note, the ipod theft in our schools is huge. I know about 10 people who have had theirs stolen and then in the next month or so, their parents replaced it. Whats worse is that I am the only one that worked for his, everyone else had their rich ### parents buy it for them.
On another note, people are just wearing the white earbuds for popularity. It's kinda like "Hey look guys! I'm cool too!". I tell my friends not to wear them but they insist on being cool.

[Huskerz85]

Here too, iPods and basically DAP's in general are widespread and it's really all good too me.

Instead of iPod proliferation that I'm sick of, on my campus here, cell phones and laptops tick me off more.......lol

[when 4ever ends]

everyone in myschool has an ipod. everyone.

[DreadpirateRudx]

like 25% for me

Nebraska? did Tommy Lee have an iPod?

[ipodphoto30]

i'm in 8th grade not too many people around have iPods. i know of a kid who had a mini and a 3rd generation 10 gigabyte but sold both of them.

[Xenon Supra]

I think 80% of the people at GT own iPods.

[J Tran]

I'm in the eighth grade and I have a Mini! Hahaha, theres only 3 people in the school that have iPods. Me and 2 other chicks.
They both have shuffles and I make fun of them everytime they pull it out... " You made a bad choice Malory...". "I got it as a gift." Hahahah!

[d-bear]

Mal could easily say "yes...i made a bad choice. that's why the Mini is no longer made." then laugh and steal your cookies.

[J Tran]

But, they are the most popular, or the former most popular iPod.

[Tote]

Every one on my school has iPods, last year people in my science class collected money and gave a mini to the teacher

[akademiks]

lots of people around here have ipods... But people still get impressed cause i have a 60gb and its almost filled :P
Then theres the kids with 20gb who have like 200 songs.

[mightymouse]

I'm in a canadian university and the campus store is an apple authorized education discount dealer-

Almost 75% of everyone has an apple product one way or the other- and ipod, powerbook, or an ibook.

I fit in perfectly fine :D

[Kill3r Spoon]

I'm in eigth grade and I'm the only one with an iPodin my school.

Oh please, not again...

I'm the only guy with a 30GB iPod Photo I know. I've seen Nanos, Minis and 3rd Gens floating around though.

[iPod Dance]

I saw one other 5th gen. Owner was elite Mac Geek.

[IpodMINI_DG]

Im the only one at my school to have a 5G Ipod Video, other than that its about 40% at Missouri State University! (formerly: SMSU)

[Germania]

I go to Northwestern U. and every variety is there, most people have 2G minis. There are quite a few full size ones too, but the people with a full size typically have aftermarket headphones. I use mainly 3 sets of headphones: earbuds, earphones, and a surround sound set that tend to not work for walking -- meh.

Thats not fair i earned my 15 giger and my 40 a. because i got good grades and b. my sister didnt need her big 40 gig creative thing and c. the 40 giger photo was opend box at best buy and i use it for prensenations and now its full! i dont use the buds they suck i use cheap radio shack head phones now im lookin into a vid ipod i have the money but i'd be better off selling my 40 as i have no time for a job like i did during the summer

i had a 15 giger before it was cool in jersey now every body has them and there parents jst give them the pods as i stated above i had to earn mine i with honor role grades and i use a lap top as my hand writtening sucks

[d-bear]

i've seen 2 Nanos at the University of Texas. both were white. no one's asked me about my black one. have yet to see any 5Gs.

[YpoCaramel]

Nano's are pretty common at NYU - two personal persons have black nano's. I've seen one 5G - a fellow Sternie, as it happens.

[Rdubb21]

I see alot of older generation models at my college, even a few nano's, no 5G yet. I showed my 5G to a kid in my class and he was amazed by it.

[XxSweetCherryxX]

Since I started High School a few months back (I'm 12 but I live in Scotland. We don't have middle school's here) I have noticed a lot of people have iPods. They are mainly mini's but I have seen a few shuffles and 4th generations.

[nitro1987]

Ipods are pretty common at my Uni, though I don't get the issue with using the white headsets. After spending that much money on an Ipod I know I did not feel like buying something else for it that I did not need.

[z_master011]

At first, I thought I was the only one in my school with an iPod. But I started noticing other people have them, just not as obsessed about them as I am; and they don't talk about them like crazy as I do.

I wanted to go to Tech, visited the campus a few months ago while I was in Atlanta. Do you live on campus? What are the dorms like? I didn't get to see the inside of one while I was there, but I hear they're kinda small...

[kgirlsbug]

Daughter reported that her class got 4G and minis for Christmas last year, not one got a nano or a video..parents won't upgrade that fast.
She was the first kid in middle school with an iPod, and since she has taken care of it, she may get my video if I can swing a 60 GB for me.
Her buds are a set of red Sony 51's, the other kids use stock buds.

[Derek McNelly]

So far:

3 4G's (Me included)
5 Shuffles
2 5G's
3 Mini's
And 237 Nanos.

Okay, less than that, but EVERYONE HAS A NANO.

Am I the only person who thinks the Nano is stupid?

[Walker]

I do think the Nano is stupid, I have seen atleast 30 of them, and I think they are pointless, because I payed $50 more for 26GB more of space. (I have a 5G, btw, and have only seen one other person at my school with one.) And the sad thing is, whenever I whip it out, the first question I am asked is, "Do you have porn on it?". And the even sadder thing is, I do. xD

[ipodphoto30]

well i'm just in eighth grade, not many have ipods. just very few people in my class. as for theft my teacher collects electronics at the beginning of the day, and locks them up and gives them back at the end of the day.

i dont 'even bring my ipod that often.

[UnprovenProphet]

I'm in 11th grade and just as many people who have them get them stolen. The sad part is that it's freaking New Hampshire, the city next to us is all farm lands, we're the biggest of all nearby cities by a huge margin (we have something upwards of 85 000 and nearby cities have like 50, some of them are so far out there that everyone knows each other on a first name basis.) My iPod was safer sitting in my car when I stayed in Harlem for two weeks (Don't even ask about parking, effing ridiculous).

[Derek McNelly]

I keep mine in my pocket at all times when I'm at school.

As for gym class, I said F*** GYM! two years ago.

[Derek McNelly]

Okay, at current count:

4 Monochrome 4Gs
3 Color 4Gs
1 3G
3 5Gs (All Black)
2 Shuffles
9 Minis
15(!) Nanos
2 Rokrs

WTF? I HATE the Nano.

Does it seem like the iPoser's iPod of choice to anyone else?

[musiclover92]

people are picking the nano cause it has a screen, but is less prone to skipping like the bigger ones, and its small

[dasda41]

alright, i've counted about: (in my class)
-12-13minis
-3-4 monochrome 4gs
-4-5 photo/ colored screen
-0 shuffles
-4-5 nanos
-6-7 video ipods
-0 1/2g
- a variety of other mp3s
- 15-16 cd players.

[Nader172]

My school has a #### load of iPods. And people like them, and let their friends listen to them. But there not for popularity to much anymore.

[azlin_mk2]

8 - 10 Minis
2 monochrome 4th Gens.
1 Monochrome 3rd Gen (Mine, Woopee!)
5 Colour/Photos.
6 Shuffles
over 20 Nanos (Yeah, every man and his dog got one for Xmas, it makes me sick)
7 Video iPods ( I know this, because everyone of them came crying to me because i am the Tech Head at my school, and they couldnt get videos on them)

[Aero277]

3 Monochrome
1 Mini
3 Videos
5-10 Nanos
1 Shuffle

[knitting_teen]

Well, seeing as my school has 2000+ students, yes there are alot of ipods!!

I mostly noticed them (reg. ipods) last year after christmas. I would say the different kinds of ipods is even, many shuffles, nanos (black & white), minis (silver, green, blue.... havn't seen a pink yet), and mostly 4g(?, reg click wheel ipods, before widescreen video) and I think one video so far....... and this kid in one of my classes uses the white apple earbuds but reg mp3 player. They can't be that good of headphones can they? Any ways, ipods have taken over the school..........:o

[sahovaman]

yeah in my high school (im a senior woot woot) i havn't noticed that many, mabey 3 videos, a couple of shuffles, but mostly the cheap ones at meijers that they dont even bother putting in a glass case lol

then again i do kinda go to a farmer school.... where most people are happy with a john denver cassette

[rooster]

at my college i don't see alot of ipods. besides me ive seen:
2-4g's
4-minis
6-nanos
1-5g

[Preebs]

Where do some of you go to college? I see over 20+ iPods a day. I've only seen one person with a 3G, the rest are a mix of mini, nano, 4G and 5G.

[bored.person]

2 iPods in my skl:

1 5g iPod (30 GB, white, completely full, and all mine!)
1 3g iPod (20 GB, white, completely full, and my friends)

in 2 months, it'll be one iPod, bcoz the other guy's leavin. if u're reading this, i'll miss u.

and on top of that, both of us weren't even brot up here. u tell sum1 u have an iPod, and they go iWhat?

ok, i'm exaggerating, but most do.

pitiful skl, huh?

[Lanfear]

1600 kids at my school.. mm i see a fair ammount..
thhough again mainly minis and the prepy kids get nanos.
Me and most of my friends are the only ones i know who have bricks thouglh.. most of us have 5g's .. 60gs some 30s
and alot have 20gb 4g..
Although.. the majority have creative zen crap, fake ipod headphones and all..

[VBRJunky]

Everyone at my univ. has an ipod. If you go to the library, all you'll see is white earbuds (apple). Then I bust out with my e2c and altoid headphone amp. Then I study away to Better than Ezra.

[Edgar_484]

At my school there's not much. Most of them is opposite of what most of you guys here said. EVERYONE in the school that I know I've seen have a iPod has the new 5G iPod with video. I'm the only one with the nano...

Are you kidding me? The nano is the only iPod that doesn't really have a rival in it's class. If someone wants a flash based mp3 player with a decent amount of space (2 gb or more) their only choice is the nano... until the Sandisk Sansa e200 comes out. There are other hdd mp3 players that are in the same price range as video iPods but with a TON of more features (the Archos AV480, for example). Maybe people buy the nano because they LIKE IT'S FEATURES? Wow, imagine that!

Really, iPods are not the status symbol some of you elitists would make them out to be. You're the kind of person that keeps that image of the pompous, stuck up, and snobby Apple user alive and well:rolleyes:

Is that why kids bring their iPods to school without headphones, just to show them off?

If it helps you sleep better at night, go ahead and keep thinking everyone is jealous of your precious iPod.

[viccles]

Around my campus EVERYONE has an ipod. EVERYONE! Most of the ones I see are mini's, a few 4Gs, an occasional video and lots of Nanos
