Does anyone else thing IPODS and ITunes are just a rip-off? I was recently thinking about getting an IPOD but after careful consideration Ive decided not to waste my money.
I think IPODS are ideal for those on the move, constantly (such as famous people). How many people actually walk down the street listening to their IPODS? I mean theyd get robbed considering how much they are worth. I think its pretty pointless to own one if you dont intend to listen to it on the move. i think their main appeal lies within its style and its "brag-ability" ("oh look Ive got an IPOD, arnt I amazing")
Id much rather own the PSP when it comes out. It plays music, aswel as movies and games. I just think people are just too naive to really expect the moneys worth of £300 plus for an IPOD. Youd have to have a seriously huge CD collection to even slightly fill up the storage on the IPOD, and you need them all in MP3 format. Its too much hassle for me.
Also apple rip-off their UK customers more than any1 else in the world, especially downloading off ITunes.
Does anyone here own an IPOD, and are you happy with it???

What do you expect me to write about?, I wrote this topic so people can discuss about it, so maybe Im a bit more convinced.
Im not interested in promoting the Ipod as crap, i didnt mean it to come across like I hate them. I just wanted to ask people what they think of them, and whether or not they are worth the effort. I was about to buy one myself until a friend recommended me not to, Im still questioning whether or not to get one. I do like the fact you can take your music anywhere, but at what cost.. £300. Ok some people can afford it quite comfortably, so can I, but I just think they are overated for what you are buying, doesnt the battery ware out after a while (so I heard). I suppose any debate over something will always end up unanswered because peoples opinions are so different. In that case wouldnt all the topics on this forum site be pointless?

Got myself a creative zen one while i was over in Canada (seeing as the iPod was around $200 more) and very happy with it. I can walk down the street with it clipped to my trousers, under my shirt with no problems and i don't exactly live in the world's best neighbourhood. Much better to have one of these then having a CD player or mini-disc player
iPod's aint that bad, just a heck alot of money. I did have an iPod for a while and they aint nothing special just look good and can store about the same amount of songs as any other MP3 player for the same price. I have one of those MP3 'stick' players with the USB connection its only 512 MB but I can hold all the songs I wanna listen to and was only £33 offa that magical eBay.
Mine was £220 and I use it all the time.
Damn fine purchase I say.

I love my iPod...
Had it since it came out, and admitedly it's getting a bit shoddy (damn the nice casing, why does it scratch so easily?!?) but apart from some aesthetic problems it's been fine (other than the control headphone thingy - the wire connection is pretty flimsy)...
But 2 years of quality music for only £200 is well worth it. Every penny. I'd buy it again...
Plus it's miles better than a Zen, has better quality sound and well, it's a darn sight cooler.
iPod... Whoo!

20 rounds a second, people.

iPod is a waste of money yes. But I listen to it on the move. And it isn't £300 plus it's £200... which is the same price as a PSP.
You can also play games (although minor ones) on an iPod, but it's a small extra feature much like MP3's in the PSP.
I didn't get it for the wow factor, I got it to store songs.
And not that many people hassle me about it.
