The Galaxy player is hardly up to snuff when compared with an iPod touch. If I wanted a good PMP for the price of a Galax player 5.0, I could and would (once my Zune dies) go for a Cowon X7, which is far superior to the Galaxy player when it comes to sound (which is what matters to ME when choosing a PMP). As for the iPad mini, you're joking right? Why would I want to buy a device that Steve Jobs dismissed? The only reason Apple decided to come out with a smaller iPad is because Steve wasn't quite the messiah everyone believed him to be, and he was wrong in dismissing 7" tabs. Apple is really feeling the crunch of Android,and their latest offering is just as I had predicted; unless they pull something really shiny out of their collective butts for the iphone 5 they're going to be in trouble.
Besides, I already have an Android tablet. Oh and I do have apple devices, two 5G iPods, but they're both running Rockbox, because like all of Apple's software (and also another reason why I won't be caught dead using an iPad), the original firmware was just too restrictive and people found a new and creative way to put the brilliant hardware Apple always designs to their proper use.
