Ghetto players - they do the same fucking thing. The Creative my brother has is only slighty bigger than my iPod - has more space, doesnt have a battery that cant be removed from the unit and thus can be kept so long as he has a battery, more features - and cost less.

However if youre stroking your iPod 24/7 then yes - I guess you do need design more than function.

ipods are priced outrageously, the nomad zens are priced just right. 30 GB one for $159 at circuit city.

The Shuffle is a rip-off of Creatives...sorry, but I forgot the name.. little player that plugs into your computer. I doubt anyone would get one for its hardware capabilities. More just for style. Otherwise, its a piece of crap, from the looks.

Haha, look at all the people cooing and wowing over "DVD combo drive"...what geeks.

The reason ipods are getting crazed attention is because of what itunes does, its easier than the creative program and it allows you to download music off it as well, for cheaper...I think

lol, no. Its because they look cool. Im dead serious. Theres a ton of kids at my school who want one, just simply because they look cool. They're like cellphones in a way. Everyone needs to have one, but no one actually uses them. Half of the kids who want an iPod dont even like listening to music.
