Holy crap Im buying an MP3 player

[Robert]

they are teh best in the industry, both in inovation and in market share. When you buy anything else you're just buying something modelling itself after an ipod.

Often these products put in an extra feature like FM radio, which sucks or they sell at a lower price. They do this because they cannot compete directly with an Ipod of similar features/price.

To hate a product the way some of you do is rather surprising. It's an MP3 player, hate is one heck of an investment you must have alot of time for. To hate something you have to invest everything you have in it. YOU have to wake up saying 'I hate Ipods' then you have to direct you energies that way.

I still think you cant buy a better product. Yes an Ipod has its down falls like any other product, but they are the industry leaders and they set the bar for what an MP3 player should be. NO ONE ELSE has lead the market like this. Look at the Nano, why wasn't there one like this before? Because no one thought of it. Apply had to bring it to the market place.

YOu would buy wrong if you bought something other then an Ipod for MP3 play back. You video problems could be fixed with a simiple investment in some software to convert the video to the proper format.
