I know Jobs agrees with you!

Nah, I dont really have the need now. Next on my gadget list is a Nokia 6680 or N70, and they have mp3 support.

LOL yes he does, Apple Corp world hedaquarters is about 300 meters from my house so I must be under the influence.

If or when they release a videopod ill place an order if the price is right.

As for pricing It's scary how easily and without thought I spent $250 when I saw the nano.

Yup.. they know how to make you drool.

I think they sprinkle a thin layer of crack on their products so you just _have_ to keep buying.

I ended up getting the Zen Nano Plus. I liked that it was small and had a digital FM tuner, with presets. It only has 512 mb but the radio takes up where the storage lacks. I can still fit 8 hours of music on it. And when it gets lost, busted or stolen I wont be out 2-300 bucks.

I also found that winamp now suports transfers for all portable devices which makes it really easy add or delete songs from the mp3 player. The program creative gives kept on crashing, so i did some looking around and ran across the plug in for winamp.

Good choice, looks like the Nano has "issues": http://news.com.com/Problems+surfacing+with+iPod+Nano+screen/2100-1041_3-5880307.html?tag=nefd.top

No doubt Apple will blame it on their Taiwanese manufacturer

You really dont like apple do you vulcan

OMFG I just got an IPod e mail (yahoo messenger alerts). Anyway, Apple can go suck a lime, Creative Labs is the way to go.

I strongly advise against anything Apple. This strong dislike comes from using school computers I think. Cheap bastages.

You advice against anything from Apple because of your school computers?

Not really. Ipods annoy me. They're the same taiwanese chipset as everyone elses just with half the features missing for a higher price, yet people think they're the best mp3 players out there. Theres this aura that ipods are something original, something uber, they're not. So I like people to be aware of these issues.

Just like Mac owners and their stupid "we don't get virus's or trojans" crap... and before you say "they don't", read up on the holes apples been patching recently and read this:

Plus I had some tard apple tech on our network. When I pointed to the smtp commands coming out at port 80 to Google, Ozemail, Red Sherrif, and Double Click sites, followed by a DoS burst, the Apple guys just shrugged their shoulders and said they didn't know thus didn't care.

Apple annoys me because they lie more than microsoft, and thats quite an accomplishment.
