All I have is a 512mb mp3 I only use it when I'm traveling, bored or working out though. Other than that I don't have much time for it. I might get a ipod later this year after I save some money oOo:

So? You want to still be using Win 95 instead of having a company that comes out with a better product every few years?

I saw that, didnt like it to much whe ni was playing with it. Something about scrolling up and down THAN having to move to the click buttons, not to ergonomic.

yeah, but it's supposed to have better battery life and I'm worried about getting an iPod from all the stories I've heard of them breaking

Eh, i can see why people are leery to get an iPod. My original 4th gen i pod didnt turn on anymore after a year. But the warranty entitled me to a new video ipod which i will have for near 7 months now.

Except those only come out every 2/3 years, which IS keeping up with technology, whereas the iPod releases multiple versions A YEAR, which is more like extortion.

Also, I have an iPod, and couldnt be happier. I can watch all the Lost and Battlestar galactica I want, and still have plenty of room for all my music.

Every company does that due to progress, new games consoles taking advantage of new tech etc, new operating systems with better and newer features.
