UltraPod II vs. Digital UltraPod II I noticed that they seem to have two versions of UltraPod II's on Amazon, except one says "Digital" in front of it (and is a different color). Does anyone know how these are different? There's about a $5 price difference between them. Thanks!

Thanks for your help! I ended up calling the company to try to figure this out. Strangely, a live person picked up the phone after two rings and no routing of the call. I asked her what the difference was, and all she said was the color is different but they're basically the same. I guess that's the unofficial but official word from someone working there! I ended up saving my $5 and getting the black one, which I like better anyway.

I'd swear that when I got the Ultra Pod II back in November that the "Digital" model was bigger and heavier. Now, even the Pedco website describes the 2 as identical, but the Digital is $3.00 more than the II. I just saw someone at Dpreview mention he had all "3" sizes.B&H; describes the Digital as a "slightly modified" UltraPod II. I can't tell what the difference is and I have the UltraPod II.

Good question. The product actually sells for $99 on the Logitech website, so when you see anything lower on Amazon, it's actually a cheaper price. I think a fair assumption would be is that Amazon puts lower prices on different colors because they don't sell as well or they need to move that particular piece of inventory.

I had same question! I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !? Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same. The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.

Are you considering buying the newer digital unit? It would seem they have made a better product though it will be more expensive. Any thoughts, almagirl?

Apparently the Options Plus versions (with the I-Pod dock) aren't being sold right now and won't be again until the first of next year. Does anyone know where I can get one with the I-Pod dock...preferably in the orange color? I would be willing to buy one second hand if I could just find one!!!

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

Amazon's price was cheaper than both sony.com and bestbuy.com. If the price has gone up since I got my pair, I can't explain it. Hope this answers your question.

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

You can pick up a digital one on here pretty cheap, that's what I use. I've found both included are slightly off.

I want to bump this thread. I got a Nook Color for Christmas. But I learned very quickly that B&N; is no Amazon.(I had no previous experience with B&N;) I do not like B&N.; Their site is disorganized and less friendly, imo, and everything is much pricier, with a more limited selection. So I ordered a CyanongenMod 7.0.3 - OPTIMIZED - 8GB SD card. I amhoping this will save me. I would like to hear from any others who have used this method to keep fromfalling out of love with the Nook.I just want to browse Amazon and order Amazon Books easily with my Nook.

Yes, the black version has an extra control to skip tracks. On older versions of iOS it would not skip tracks, so I assume Monster left it out to prevent complaints/returns. Newer iOS versions do work with it, so not only does it work it actually gives you an additional control. Of course, the price on Amazon jumps all over the place, so which is cheaper varies from day to day.

I don't believe there is any difference. The cheaper price is probably due to the high sales volume Amazon generates for them.

I checked out on Amazon, and there're at least 3 different listings - they should all be the same, so the price is whether it's from Amazon directly, fulfilled by Amazon or an external vendor. I'd just go with the lowest cost one, through Amazon.

So please help me guys.....thanks!

FYI - I talked to Customer Service and found that Amazon received a shipment in mid-December. It's hard to say which type that would have been, as I haven't seen anything from Logitech that says exactly when they cut over to BCD 9 units. Amazon ships units from multiple locations, and each of them do not necessarily ship older units first (ie, they are not FIFO), so there's no way to predict which type of unit one would get if an order were placed today. Also, Amazon cannot open boxes to check the BCD for us, apparently due to agreements they have with their suppliers. So unfortunately it seems the only way to improve the probability of receiving a newer unit (from Amazon) is the passage of time - a month or two was suggested, but there are no guarantees. I assume (but have not confirmed) that Logitech's on-line store would be shipping BCD 9's now - if you don't mind paying list price, of course.
