I was anti iPod. That is, until I was given one as a gift. I admit I was not keen about having to use iTunes to get my music on it, but the quality of the device is far superior to any other mp3 players I have owned or seen. I think that maybe because of the limited flexibility, they have managed to make a product that works very, very well. Restricting it to iTunes may be a pain, but it does keep to thing very well organised because of it. 

 

So, although I have never owned a mac, I am an iPod convert!

 

Thanks,

James

My iPod Touch can surf the web at home, at school and in the city, when I go traveling I can book hotels on it instead of going to internet café and plugging my credit card details into their computers. It will play videos, play games, browse photos, display artwork, collect my email, store my contacts and calendar items, check the weather, maps, calculator the list goes on and on and on and on especially when hacked and running installer.

 

My iPod nano can track the speed and distance of my running and then map and store it online for me.

 

I do agree with some complaints regarding radio and removal batteries but the pros outweigh the cons for me. How many file formats do you seriously have that you can't easily convert to suit???

I will NEVER own an ipod. Why would you pay nearly double the price to get an mp3 player that attempts to restrict the file format you can use?
