Wrong, the ipod is the best deal for mp3 players out there, atl east for me. It had the best combo of
1. Form
2. Functionality
3. Accessories
4. Price
Other mp3 players may have some of these, but the ipod has the best combination of all of them.
Wow, you mean you got a better deal on your ipod than my $8 MP3 player with an FM tuner and SD slot? Amazing! (/edit: oh yeah, and it takes a rechargeable AAA.
)
Form = no argument, but IMHO if "form" is the primary factor that influences your purchasing, you need to turn in your man card now.
Functionality = They all play MP3s fine. The ipod doesn't have an FM tuner, or expandability. If the controls on any modern MP3 player are too confusing for you, you should move back to 1925.
Accessories = what? A colored case to match your purse? I can't think of any accessory worth having that's unique to the ipod. Good earbuds (which Apple does not provide) and an elastic band if you want to run with it (which many brands provide) are the extent of it.
Price = Much more expensive. I hope you got some Monster cables with that.
