I too find iPods are too overrated too. I find it's just YaMP (Yet another Media Player).I used to have a red MP3 player costed me around CAD $100 for 512 MB; now I use the new Motorola Rokr as my MP3/Phone.xboxrulz

I actually own an iPOD... and yes it was expensive; and yes it's a YAMP. In fact, when i was looking for mp3 players, back in the day, I was more into the Archos jukebox lines. they had color LCD's, could play video, you could share pictures (the screen was larger) and play music. This was 3 years ago. Only now does the iPOD even approach some of the features this thing had. BUT, I actually tried the Archos jukebox out (a friend of mine had one). And honestly, it was too complex. It was too complicated for something I intend to put in my pocket and carry around with and do all the things i'd like to do with it. That's where the iPOD comes in. Its simplistic design was and still is just fine for me. I've never had a battery problem, fortunately. Although I know that the battery life of many iPODs die prematurely.. mine has yet to fail me. I have three chargers for the iPOD. One at home, one in the car and one at work. I never have an excuse to worry about it losing power. Of course it's always a value judgement. Clearly the iPOD has become a status symbol; which tends to polarize people. I should now note that I HATE macs. Never like them, never will. They are like computers for dummies. Too simple, to be adaptable. Ah but that's where a company like Mac, that sucks at making computers, excels. I like simple for my YAMP.

They're good for trips...but other than that, trash it. :lol:I just use singingfish, and get free music.
