No. I don't think I'd use one much if I had it. I listen to the radio or CDs in my car, I listen to the Radio or mp3s on my laptop when home. I like to be aware of my surroundings when outside.

So, I don't really have a use for an iPod.

I wasn't snooping, honest! She wasn't being very circumspect about it, I think she was doing it to pique my curiousity. She's a sly li'l devil she is. ;)

Very nice, my friend has one as well. I just don't think the battery life is too good on those, otherwise I'd already have one myself.

I was tempted walking through the Atlanta airport. They have IPOD vending machines for gawd's sakes. They are EVERYWHERE!!!

Personally, I'm sticking with my rio until it dies.

I kind of want one too now. I have a 512mb MP3 player and realized I rarely use it because I don't get around to swapping songs around. It'd be nice if I could carry my entire collection with me and just shuffle the playlist.

I'm also too cheap to buy one ... my 64 MB player will have to do for now.

I'm starting to hate Apple and the Ipods. Slick device but here's the problems I've had:

Got my first 3G in December 2003. About 6 months later the screen crapped out and started to display garbled text. Sent that for repairs and the replacement's hard drive would emit a high pitched squeal when transferring songs. But they wouldn't fix it so I dealt with it. Finally the battery on it gave out so I sent it in for repairs. Just received the replacment and the screen keeps fading in and out -- I have to apply pressure to the LCD just to read the text!

Luckily I paid the extra $60 for apple care but still these things shouldn't have so many freakin problems! I guess that's what you get for manufacturing everything in China these days.

I think Kanye West meant "George Bush hates Ipods!"

I have the opposite problem: the Ipod isn't good enough for my collection.

I'm hoping Sony will get its head out of it ass so they add 5GB of storage to PSP.
