- juttman, on 10/24/2007, -8/+223Standard issue to the LAPD
- manicallday, on 10/10/2007, -3/+140I'm Black and I like to express that as a normal Black person that I'm not offended. However, I'm offended that it cost $162 for only 4 gigs. I think that's the bigger issue here.
- Azimuth1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+123Did none of the designers ever actually say the name out loud?
- yamyogurt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+121it comes with a "neckstrap"
- D4r7h3v1l, on 10/10/2007, -9/+124Why is any mp3 player an iPod wannabe?
- benjaminooo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+78is there an i-beat off button?
- jerrygofixit, on 10/10/2007, -10/+70Sold!
- GeneralGore, on 10/10/2007, -2/+61"What kind of MP3 player do you have?"
"I'll tell you later..." - seanthebond, on 10/24/2007, -2/+50Well, once they bring out a white version, its gonna be "i.beat whitttes".

- DimitriVetra, on 10/10/2007, -2/+42i.Beat Blaxx
not very subtle. - loki440, on 10/10/2007, -4/+43I'm just thankful that they didn't call it the "Jigaboom" or something like that...
- Yonson, on 10/10/2007, -5/+40"Dead Honkey!"
- Richard Pryor - Gatesophile, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37I'd normally agree with you, but this one starts with the lowercase "i", so it's obvious that they were going after the success of the iPod.
- cbowen008, on 10/10/2007, -9/+42"worst product name ever" - John Gruber Daring Fireball
- NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32Surprised they didn't call it the iLynch accessory.
- SwK386, on 10/10/2007, -8/+38*YAWN* Get a life people... its a German company... it may not have the racist overtones in German that it does here in the States...
Not to mention a "Fanny Pack" which old people can buy at any Walls*Smart would never be called such a thing in the UK as fanny in the UK is not so nice slang for a vagina...
Next you'll be telling us that when i'm in London and I stomp out a fag, i'm being homophobic.... - euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -6/+35Oh, hey Al Sharpton.
- rabiddachshund, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32$200 for 4 gigs?
f.Uck that. - davidbattley, on 10/10/2007, -7/+36It actually looks like quite a nice looking mp3 player. They clearly hired the design team just not the marketing one.It kinda reminds me (in looks) of a old motorala phone the "style candybar" they had before the slvr anyone know which one that was?
- Bajeda, on 10/10/2007, -9/+36"but when I saw the name of it I started rolling"
You took ecstasy before reading the article? - WhiteIce89, on 10/10/2007, -5/+30Apparently anything that is rectangular and can play mp3's is an iPod wannabe now.
- fubes2000, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26I was expecting to see something along the lines of a foreign product with 'negro' in the name for black, but this is just amazing in the scope of the ignorance that had to go into the naimg process.
- Blax, on 10/10/2007, -13/+34I'm offended.
:( - chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Focus groups FTW
- fubes2000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21fission mailed.
- Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20Saying it out loud isn't necessary. It's pretty damn obvious! This must be a joke. Any English-speaking person will spot that problem immediately.
EDIT: Holy *****...this is real. Unbelievable.... - krakkinem, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18You beat me to the punch. Well played, sir.
- pronouncable, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Did you not, perhaps, read the title?
- Ibox, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17i-beat blaxx off? :)
- samson7842, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18This is a comment I found from a guy named Daryl on Engadget. I thought it was funny as hell so I had to post it here.
I can see the advertising campaign.
Man in white hood and robe rocking out to i.Beat Blaxx with a cross burning and lynching in the background. Tagline: "Think Different. *Really* Different." - jdibiase, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15and the Apple fanboys do that if you have an iPhone ;-)
- oMeSSiaHo, on 10/10/2007, -7/+21How is it an "iPod wannabe"? It obviously didnt try to copy Apple's design and it comes with better headphones. You do realize there are other mp3 players besides the ones made by Apple, right?
- Kyrgizion, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17You mean, "hilarious" (not for the racism, but for the sheer idiocy of it).
- fubes2000, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18it's the i.Beat blaxx. Say it out loud and let hilarity ensue.
- totorototoro, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17that has to be a joke, right?
- NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Does it have a tazer accessory?
- LoopyChew, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Well, the fact that it's called the "i.Beat" kind of encourages that kind of thinking, too.
- KLowD9x, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15It's only racist if you want it to be.
If you think it is, you should be sterilized. - Dgen_X, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13How about instead of caps...
The Blaxx, by iBeat...
Subtly putting it works better than shouting it out as loud as possible.
That is lesson 1 - cleverboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Well, what about the inevitable battery life extender? The i.Beat Juice. For a German company, that doesn't sound right.
- Ibox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11you only spell it with one "X"... they arent talking bout you
- dewyjuhl, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13it plays music JUST LIKE AN IPOD
- sinaura, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Oh you see it, you just choose to deny it.
- jordn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I'm black and I'm burying you for being an ass-hat.
- Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Since it's down, what's the name of the device?
- regeya, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12No one who speaks German could be an evil man.
- superal1394, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11the iPhone does everything except give you blow jobs
- OhROFL, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8If it plays video, they might release a special "Rodney King Edition" complete with his entire collection.
- steven401, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I think you mean Ku Klux Klan.
