use it, wear it, and your own identity is immediately submerged, you are now "an apple ipod user".. those white wires are visible from a mile away, it's like walking around with a Warhol print stuck to your forehead.. sure, it's a classic design, but it's such an instant icon, it has iconic meanings that submerge the user's identity. imo it's really pitiful to see those creepy, "artsy" "creative" geeks who dress badly and have bad teeth whip their ipod nanos out of their pockets. I just don't want to be associated with all of that. please give me a small, discrete, grey or black colored mp3 player that won't attract excessive or undue attention to itself. :|

it won't attract attention, the only thing that will, is NOT having one. at my school you'll be an outcast if you don't have white headphones.

Exactly. The fact that you want a flash based player with more than a gig means your a corporate wh0re man!!!!

Jesus, themroc27 is one of those ironcally anti-establishment people who only does it because its cool to be anti-establishment.

You can spot these people a mile away, just wait for them to go on a tirade and it becomes clear that these people are just complaining to complain. There is no valid argument, no actual reaosn, just some guy, who wants to be cool, and wants to stand out, but does so in a way thats been kitschy and "sub-pop" for, how many decades now?

The very fact that he is ragging on the nano (let ALONE that pitifull excuse for a reason) instead of REAL topics is proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

The fact that he jumps from it's "iconic meaning" that submerges your identity (wow, not much of an identity if thats all it takes to submerge it) to you proving his point because, you, um, want more than a gig in a flash player, only cements it.

...because he wants a flash based mp3 player and because the ipod nano fits the criteria?

I kinda feel the same way... but my feelings are more along the lines of "do you HAVE to 'effing listen to music every waking moment of your G' D' life?! put the headphones down and let your brain relax for a minute!" while driving on the highway a car passed me and i glanced over to see the guy riding shotgun had one headphone in (his right ear) holding up his iPod for all to see. an audible "WTF" left my mouth. You are the passenger in the vehicle, TALK TO THE OTHER PERSON, and if you need music TURN ON THE RADIO SO BOTH CAN ENJOY/DISCUSS!

(I own an iPod, almost bought a nano until those articles about cracked screens, and for some reason i don't understand i choose not to wear my iPod around as much as i used to because so many others have one, I don't know why, it just annoys me)
