I have to admit to you out there, that I do love Apple and what they produce. What can I say? I am a designer and they do it so well. I haven’t looked to go around converting people to the ‘church of Apple’ or anything, but I do rave on about Apple a lot.
Where do the majority go if they don’t want to buy into the Apple juggernaut? Seriously, you want an mp3 player but don’t want an iPod? You want a media device, but don’t want an iPod Touch or iPad? Where do you go? Is there a company out there that is the equal of Apple in terms of design, engineering and beauty?
For this reason, I have created a category called ‘Awesome and not Apple’ and in this first post, I present to you an almost equally expensive product line to Apple’s that is not Apple.
The thing is… when you boil it down, the iPad is not the first ‘media product’ on the market.
If you want something very similar to the iPad, but do prefer Windows 7, you have seriously got to check out a little company called Archos. They also have a range of MP3 players as well.
I hope to do a follow up article on Archos, just go check out their website.
You may just be impressed!
