I don't hate the iPod nearly as much as the "podcast"

its either streaming radio or a playlist. Who do you think you are? a word-iologist?

I'm tired of the word 'the'. It's the most overused word in the world. Look at the number of times I've used it already!!

About reality tv -
The setting and events may be orchestrated to a degree but people are free to react in a real way. They aren't paid to act and repeat scripted dialog.
Reality tv is not the misnomer people claim.



Yes, I'm tired of the iPod receiving preferential media treatment.

I view it as more of a subscription model of regularly-updated content.
But I'm not fond of the word podcast myself.

I wish the public would realize there are other brands of mp3 players out there.

It'd be nice to see Creative or some other player company to put some TV ads up. That could help create a bit of competition in the market since people will see that there's something different.

im not sure if that would matter. iPod has already established itself as the biggest thing in the mp3 player market. it may be too late for a competitor to take back market shares.

basically. everyone else should have emptied everything at the chance of good adverts back in the day. now they have fvked up and have no chance of recovering.

I have an iPod. I don't use the white headphones because I don't like in ear headphones in general. I don't stand around on buses, iPod in hand, furiously trying to get noticed. Believe it or not I currently use almost 2 thirds of its 60 (or 55 or whatever it actually is) Gigabyte capacity because believe it or not I have more than 200 songs. I previously had a cheap 512Mb mp3 player but found that I could never be bothered to write playlists and change the music so I spent 3 months listening to the same 150 or so songs. The interface, while having its limitations (I so want to customise the menu system) is simple to the point of stupidity.

The iPod popularity is just a fad until something better comes along. But iHate is infinitly worse, why hate something because it's popular. Because you can? Well great, I can buy whatever I want and the day that your opinion matters to me will be a sad day indeed.
