      "You made a smart choice in choosing an iPod" Yeah, you didn't follow trends at all, you evaluated the market and went against the grain. What a joke. I *hate* iPods. The screens are too small to actually watch anything on, and they add insult to injury by being manufactured from fairy wings, or something equally as fragile. I love my Zen W, I keep it well protected and it's huge screen looks great. I love my MuVo, it cost next to nothing, runs forever on one battery and hasn't got a screen worth protecting, so I don't have to worry, I just have music, where-ever I want it.

        Yeah I agree - I bought a $20 512Mb MP3 player from WalMart. Lasts for ages ona single AA battery, won't get nicked and can supply me with more than enough music for a day.

          I *almost* sent back my Archos:rose: to get a button fixed because it kept switching off. I found out at the last minute it was the docking station.:cool: I hear there is a new line with wi-fi out now, which supports streaming like the PS3.

            I agree about video... I don't see the attraction. But I love my 2GB nano... it's been very rugged, is perfect for running, and I like the UI. My biggest complaint is iTunes... it's a real pig on Windows. I'm not so sure about the new nanos, though I like the song they have in the ad :)

                                Weird. I have pretty much the same experience with an iPod nano (the 1st generation one, I don't much like the new one.) Only difference is I don't watch video on small screens so I don't need or want the "huge screen."

                                    It ain't much better on OSX, unless they have made some drastic improvements recently.

                                    That surprises me... I always assumed it was horrible under windows because Apple did a sloppy job of porting it. I didn't think it would also be that way under OSX. I like some parts of it, like the iTunes store interface, but it's just so damn slow.
