they are not really bad if you install rockbox custom fw. though they are way too expensive imo. better alternatives to mess with. check previous mentioned site ... a good mp3 player site, it only doesnt review ipods Wink

I think iPods are overrated, and iTunes is simply bloatware, god do I hate that crappy app.

Sure iPods are good but overpriced and I can see better alternatives today. For a better price that is.

Zen... yeah. A friend just bought it. And a cable so he can watch movies he got on it at the TV. Divx players are dead Twisted Evil

As everyone has said.. IPods are overpriced fashion accessories, they're not bad MP3 players, but for the price you can get something with far better sound quality and far less bloat ware..

Apple have put the cash into the market no doubt about it. Theyre reaping the rewards. They have the best players about.

not sure about shipping to England, though.

I just bought 3 for my kids for $16 each. 256 mb.

The new creatives are just as pricey unfortunately Sad - However, the sound quality is said to be far superior (this was at least the case when the Zen Mini's where released).

Its more the propriety software you *have* to use (.. maybe not so much now but apple wanted it that way) stacked up with the simple fact that people buy IPODS to have an IPOD. There are far better players out there, with far better features and sound quality, yet people buy IPODS because everyone with a £150 and no morgage has one!

People moan about starforce? This is the starforce of the portable audio world (along with sony of course Wink), yet no one seems to realise it.
