[quote="TGB!":23a0f]You pay for the Apple name with an iPod - but it is small as shit and gets the job done.

Cons:

No replaceable battery.
Firewire only way to get fast transfers.
iTunes is a pile of shit.

20 gig iPod for 200 bucks.[/quote:23a0f]


You can find replacement batteries on the net. And if you think your battery's taking a nosedive within your warranty period Apple will replace it. They also run a scheme to get it replaced after your warranty's expired (costs money though spank: )

USB2.0 is more-or-less as fast as Firewire, you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference when you're uploading songs to your iPod. Plus, you get both a Firewire and USB2.0 cable with the 4G iPods.

Itunes is sexy software.
