You see, the Ipod got nothing to do with his distatisfaction. It is not about the quality, size etc but is about the price the authorized dealer put at. Our boy here spend a lot of time reviewing, asking and comparing lots of mp3 players. From Zune to Ipod touch to Meizu. After he did his research and conclude that Ipod Classic is the bomb and cost him about RM1000 for 80gb model, he decided to hit it at one of Ipod authorized dealer at Ipoh. Guess what? The Ipod classic price tag is RM1500!
Compared to unauthorized dealer, it cost more, around 50% more. One more thing, when he browsed the pamplet, the pampled says that the ipod classic have 2 sizes, 30GB and 80GB. Blarg, this shows that the so called authorized dealer is selling 5th generation Ipod when that day, the 6th generation have been releases, having 2 cool sizes, 80GB and 160GB.
The problem is, the new Ipod 6th generation 80GB cost around RM1200 and this authorized dealer is selling 5th generation 80Gb Ipod for RM1500. Thank God he is wise and walked off cool from the shop.
Maybe in his genius brain is saying, RM1500 80GB Ipod? No thanks, better to take Ipod Touch which is around that margin. Authorized dealer? Better update your stuff and see the market price.
