Don't really see the attraction to them myself, can't say they do anything more than any other generic mp3 player on the market. Course you get the apple zealots defending them tooth and nail because its one of god Jobs creations. rolleyes:

it's true they've become a fashion statement, but it's also true that hating them has become a fashion itself. when the mini came out and the older ipods, they were damn fine mp3 players for their time and nothing on the market really compared that i can remember. i've still got my mini from way back and i really don't have a single complaint towards it. interface is slick and clean, easy to use. i don't even take it out of my pocket while i switch songs, fast forward etc. its a great size and has held up the test of time.

how many times has this ipod vs. world discussion occured on this forum?
