I'd buy one if I had the money, and more Mp3s. Since I don't have a radio in my car, it would be perfect, but I don't think I can find $400 for music on my ride in the morning.
Simply great! And not overpriced at all, look around at alternatives (that don't suck totally) and perhaps first and foremost at Sony's new Minidisc that comes with a tag of about $400, I believe it was.
I don't have one, but my friend does. It's awesome. Everyone I've talked to says it's worth the $$$. It sounds great. Looks great. is super easy to use, breakout rocks! Can't wait til my bday in a month!
I went to the Cincinnati Apple Store last weekend, and I played with the iPod. I had previously stated that I would buy one, but now I don't know. Hell, I might, but after seeing one up close the glamour has faded a little.
When I was at Tice's Corner I got to see one but not try it out. It's so cool looking. It looks even cooler in person than in pictures and in cemercials.
They have a store front dispaly, but the actualy iPod (I was at Tysons Corner) is bar near the Genious Bar on a pedistal. I overheard some Apple Store employees asking if anyone customer ask the other to hear how the other MP3 players sounded. They each replied no and said they each sold like 3 or 5 ones.
I already have mine, They are fun....that is really the word to describe them. It is like iTunes, but on the road. The only problem is you can't make playlists on da' Pod and when you have a really long song (like a Paul Oakenfold techno song), it is is really annoying to have to hold down the fast forward/next track button becuase it goes to slow. I wish you held down the enter or next track buttons while moving the jog wheel, it go through each song faster.
Also, no onscreen help OR directions on how to use it at the Apple Store. I overheard two people fumbling over the controls and eventually got it, but it would have been easier if there had been a map on how to use it!

But I'm still gonna get one anyway.
I have yet to try one, but everyone I hear that's tried one says they're wonderful.
<must get hands on iPod!>
OVERPRICED like crazy (not relative to the cost of the drive, but nonetheless).
I think it'll sound pretty shitty too.
I can't wait to try it out though. Maybe sometime this week.
<strong>Useful as a HD.

I held it in my hand, Mrs. Murphy,
and it only weighs a quarter of a pound...
It took an inhuman act of will to keep my wallet in my pocket. I do not know how long I can hold out...

That is my experience with the iPod. It is fun!
