Just say iDon't to iPods

I emailed them.

I have read through your website, and I am confused as to what your point is exactly. You suggest that people should be free and not be sheep, however you go on to push a ScanDisk mp3 player. Further the only email on this website is sheepherder@idont.com, are you trying to herd people to believe your incoherent propaganda?
If you are saying that people buy iPods only because it is a trend, you are quite wrong. Yes iPods over the past few years have become "somewhat trendy", however there is a reason for this. Take a look at when the first iPod came out, the reason it dominated the market was because it was practical, it carried lots of songs, wasn't bulky, and was user-friendly. It didn't simply rise to the top because it was trendy.

I am aware that you probably get many of these emails, and that you probably got paid by ScanDisk to make this website, however why attack Apple?
Apple's iPods are cheaper and more user-friendly (yes, I have used the e200, confusing like a cellphone). If you want to be alternative and go against the grain you should support Apple. Who knows one day they might bring down that corporate OS that makes all of our live so non user-friendly.

Trying to gain support by putting down others without conclusive evidence comes off as quite transparent to many.

i love how a company is TELLING me to "think for myself". i bought an ipod cause i love the product and ive never had a problem. Vive L'iPod!!

It is awful 'viral' campaign. I actually took time to delve through the site. There are only two reviews cited, and one is from anythingbutipods. That's because most reviewers have given SanDisk an E for effort, but said the Sansas don't catch up to iPods. The site's supposed expose is the video complaining about iPod battery life and difficulty replacing the battery from years ago. (Apparently, people are not supposed to figure out the complaints have been addressed.) Most tellingly, the 'news' section is nearly empty because the products have gotten limited coverage. And, most of it was so-so. The focus on offering site visitors printable stickers seems much too childish for the intended audience.

I also found it amusing that one can't Google idon't or idont get the site.

The writing on idon't is remarkably like that of the blogger at anythingbutipods.

The site is an embarrassment. I wonder whether it will stay up long.

You should look at all the comments about the product in their link page (from allbutipod.com). This is very funny. In fact people say they love the product but it does not work ! It is still very buggy. If I were Sandisk, I would not have put a link like this ...

Hahahaha. This campaign is sooo horribly put together! If you type the address verbatim with the apostrophe in the ad then you don't go to any page, much less the right page. Hahaha they are never going to get computer illiterate people to go to their site!

iDon't? More like iCan't Compete.

Apparently, wanting an mp3 player with more than 6GB of space is being a sheep. Ha!

I felt the same thing about Comcast's "slowsky" turtles ad. I use DSL and while it's not as purely fast as cable, I'm entirely happy with the combination of speed and price. So Comcast thinks I'm a dumbass turtle who likes to be slow. I was considering getting cable for my new big-arse TV and Comcast made that decision easier - I'm getting a dish.

It's unfortunate isn't it? You have the best computer and no one will buy it so you get the whole "niche" treatment - or "more expensive." You have the best MP3 player and suddenly it's "trendy" and everyone buys it but now they're all lemmings or sheep or chimps. Apple just can't win, can they?

Someone direct them to the "1985 Superbowl Commercial" chapter of any of the numerous books dedicated to Apple's history.
