Have You Abandoned a Dedicated MP3 Player for a Music-Capable Phone?
"With cellphones like the iPhone sporting a good amount of storage space and very capable music players, a lot of people have abandoned the dedicated MP3 player for what their cellphones have to offer. Are you one of them?" - LANjackal from Bookmarklet
Absolutely not. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Yep, did that last year - Deepak Singh
Nope. - Micah Wittman
People want to carry an ipod for hearing music, a iphone for communication, a tablet for browsing and kindle for reading ebooks. If they can carry all those, why not? Forget 'travel light' - TrafficBug
my iphone is for comms and podcasts. My old ipod for my music collection since the iphone can't handle 70gb of mp3's right now ;) - alphaxion
I've used my phone in place of a dedicated audio player and camera for a long time, and haven't had many problems, although I tend not to carry around a large music collection. - Tyson Key
In 2002, I had a 20 GB iPod G2 and phone capable of playing and recording audio with 64MB of memory. I carried both, because the music playing capabilities of the phone were a joke. Now I have a 30 GB iPod G5 and a 32 GB iPhone 3GS, and I use the iPhone to play music 95% of the time. I only use the iPod in my car anyway, I wouldn't carry both devices with me. - Brome
Oddly enough, my first portable music device *was* my iPhone. I've had head units that could play WMA/MP3 CD's and DVDs for years so I was able to travel with most of my regularly listened to music collection in about 7 DVDs. I use it for music, media, communications and entertainment, and it even connects to my head unit, the only thing I still carry around seperately are my SLR and DSLR cameras and laptop for image processing. - Tsali, The Native of FF from fftogo
Nope. I'd rather have my phone for phoning. - Amy
Sort of. My old iPod is now reserved for kids music and plays in their room, whereas all of my content is on my iPhone. - Andrew Leyden
Pretty much. Since getting my iPhone 3GS, my 80GB iPod video has been sitting unused on my desk. - Herb Hernandez
I own a mp3 player and a 8 mpx camera but yet it is my phone to which I turn when I need pictures or music for the most part. Of course, the down side is that my phone takes a 2.5 mm headphone jack, but the upside is that if I use the 2.5 mm headbuds that came with it, I can tune in NPR on the FM radio application. (Which is really what I use MOST when it comes to using the phone to listen to something.) - Miss Elle
I did (I own an iPhone), but then phone calls keep interrupting my music. I'm probably going to pick up the 5th gen Nano this week. - Rob Haas
No. My Sandisk Sansa, in terms of sound quality and disk space, runs rings around my BlackBerry Curve. I do use my phone, however, when I want to stream my Pandora stations. - Helen Sventitsky
Nope. - Kol Tregaskes
yup iphone - Jeremiah Owyang
Many days I carry two iPods, 80gb and 120 gb. Kinda have a lot of music and podcasts. - Travis Smith
I own neither. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Yup, mark down another iPhone. - CAJ, somewhere else
Nope I've got my 60 GB 5G ipod for music and Blackjack II for calls. - Give 'Em DBizness
I don't even have an mp3 player, much less a cellphone. - SuezanneC Baskerville
nope - i separate those 2 - the battery juice must last till last drop! - Nilesh
