things are positive because ipods arnt bad its just that almost every other company gives you more or the same for less money and most of those comapnies have been dealing with mp3's for much longer then apple has
a 20 or 40 gig ipod may seem exsesive, but i'd gladly have one because i could store my movies on there and drag them back out when i want to edit them. there is a 60 gig ipod too apparently.
did any of you hear about the guy in texas who got an ipod really early in the set before they became a status symbol (every trendy **** in aus seems to have an ipod mini now) when people wern't fimiliar with them and didn't see their capabilitys, the guy went into a appliance store, said he wanted to check the compatability with the computers and his ipod, hooked in and copied all the really exspensive programmes from the computers. i thought that was a pisser, i'd have done it too if i had an ipod in that situation
i doubt they would have had the setup files for the software on the computer he likely would get a lot of useless crap doing that.. and you can download any of those programs for free very easily.. and ipods are trendy because people with a lot of money buy things without thinking.. really tech savy people prefer other brands

Exactly.
iPods are for the "look at me" thing. I can't think of a single reason to buy one over another player of equal capability. They look cheap and when I first saw them I thought "what a rip-off". The prices haven't changed. They are merely a gadget that losers pull out of their pocket and go "I have an iPod - who want's to touch me? I said who wants to touch me?"
The average dolt sees an iPod and says "ooh dat was on TV, me wud be cool if me had that", and goes and buys one.
We have a rule at Uni - if you are caught with an iPod, you get hurt.
i dont think the Creative Jukebox looks like the machine for me, but the iriver is a damn fine machine. in all honesty, i'd probably still buy an ipod 40gig over it though, because by the time i screwed around getting it here and what not, i'd cost more for me, plus if it was faulty i've got to ship it back to the states (or wherever they make them) whereas there are Apple stores near me to go to for an ipod
