Would you buy an iPod?

I personally think this isn't a breakthrough product at all, just another mp3 features with, admittedly, some very nice features. However, I don't think the $399 U.S. price tag is justified for the pluses it does have.

It's way too expensive. I can't imagine why anyone would wanna have their complete record collection with them, all the time. What I was hoping for was something like a regular mp3-player, 64 Mb of memory, some cool iTunes/Mac integration, lightweight, about the same design as the iPod and a nice price tag, under $200.

I'm a bit dissapointed. I think I'll go for the Nike psa[play now.

We're talking about brands here!!!

Would you wanna wear a Creative mp3 player or an APPLE one!!!!

This thing is gorgeous! PLUS, you can use it as a hard drive. I WAN IT I WAN IT I WAN iTTTT!

I think it is a good price considering design/feaures.... BUT how about an iPod Light for us students? Maybe with only a 1 GB drive?

Give the slowdown in the market, I think this is too expensive of an item. I don't want a cheap product, but this may be more than anyone nees.


However, give it a bigger screen, and MacOS Newton X with 5 GB of space that will read word docs AND has mini-iTunes, and other apps and I drop $300-400 in a shot.

No more wimpy *16* Mb (ooooooo) PDA's. We need mini computers.

and maybe this is the next digital device.

A lite version would hit the spot!

While I personally don't have the money for this guy right now- I'll probably get one within a year- maybe for christmas. I personally am VERY excited about a) the use of firewire for the device- high bandwidth USB devices are DUMB. b) it can recharge itself from the firewire bus power. This is absolutely fantastic. One cord- the adapter is even just a firewire port with power pins connected. I've also not seen such concise and flexible playlist support in any other device. I dig it.

I'm more enthused about iTunes 2 than I am the iPod. If they had made a sport one, that's water/shock resistant .. I could definately consider that.
