I can't wait.
How else has got an iPod?
If its from Apple then you can track it quite good using the order tracking thing and also on the Irish TNT site, give you an idea of when it will arrive.
Cant wait.

But that doesn't mean you have to have the flood of iPod slagging in the "my PS2/Xbox/Gamecube is better than all the rest because XYZ" style. Espically when the people blatently don't know anything about excellent hardware and absolutely perfect software.
If only I could afford it :'(

Yeah, but the thing is, neither the Zen nor the iPod are being offered free...

Also nonsense. Apple do offer a replacement service for the batteries, which, like any rechargeable batteries, can reduce in performance. I've been using an iPod for three years, never had any problems.
> Do iPods accept MP3s? That's just the final insult if they don't...
Ah... that explains a lot. So you don't actually know much about the Pod you'll freely dismiss. Okay...
Fact is, lots and lots of people will happily slate the iPod. However, 99.9999% of the time you'll note these people don't own an iPod, and never have. Also, ask people who do have one and they'll be pretty happy with it.

Tosh. I have to say for the amount of use I get out of my Pod I've rarely spent a better £325. And generally not as good at what? The seamless integration with the PC? The fantastic accessories included? The vastly superior looks? The regular and useful update offered by Apple that constantly improve and add to the already generous range of features; all of course done though the simple to use iTunes interface.

ZEN is like the Iceland version of M&S food. Everyone is Iceland will tell you about the rubbish, over-priced Marks goods and the fools who go there... but offer them either for free and we all know which they'll take.
