Who cares what anything looks like? If it's functional, it's functional. Unless you're some kinda gay ass homo, of course. Then it's all about the looks.


Right, and there isn't an interface out there that can compete with Apple's iPod.

That is why it is so popular.

Well, that falls under the functionality catagory. What kind of interface are you referring to? Physical interface to computer or logical interface between human and iPOD?

Do you wash your car or comb your hair?

No on both accounts. I don't go mud bogging with my truck and it looks very respectable. I also shave my head.

Both. The button layout and the software interface are both simple to use and very effective and getting you what you want when you want it.

I don't think I would say "so popular." I have only seen one person who actually had it... it is for hardcore geeks. While it may be popular among AT, it is still too pricey for most consumers. Until hd mp3 players fall under $100, I won't consider them.

Exactly. I don't know one single person who owns one. Why would I want to listen to music through crappy little headphones when I can go home and listen to music the right way?

You can use "popular" as a relative term. Would you not agree that the iPod is one of the best selling MP3 players on the market?

So then you aren't in the market for ANY portable music player. Big whoop.

FWIW, I own an iPod.

Cool. When I find suitable headphones for a reasonable price and an iPOD for a reasonable price, I'll still have to figure out which MP3s to take with me. I have more than the iPOD can hold. 😱

I am in the same boat, MP3-wise.

I have the new 30GB iPod and more than twice that in MP3's.

Tough problems to have.. haha..
 
Hahaha..

Open to change? Not around here obviously...

IT will have more storage
better battery life
Better design + software

hmmm.. name an mp3 player that apple made that can compare to an empeg
which with 2 80gb 2.5" laptop hd's can hold 160gb of mp3's.

I have seen apple put out the ipod.. what else..
