I don't know if it's overhyped, but it's not obsolete...

One does not walk around with a hunk of plastic that looks like a bean.

And if that's not significant, why post a picture of it?

pretty big gonad.

About the size of a laptop mouse by the size of the ear bud. Which is still pretty small.

You forgot to mention: can only manage some rubbish overpriced Sony format which no-one else supports.

I like sony gear, but they're always shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to understanding the music marketplace.

Lol. Does it only take fucking ATRAK? I thought Sony opened up to MP3 and OGG and all that now.

says MP3 on the site, actually, although they're still trying to push that atrac shit. It only has a 1 gig capacity for 179 dollars.

I don't particularly trust sony on music since they tried to sell that netMD nonsense.

I think ipod is some what obsolete, there are tons of features that many other protable music players preform. I think it's acctually itunes and the apple label that are keeping the ipods still floating.

"floating" as in, 80% of the market? When nerds won't buy apple because of nerdly prejudice?

Nah, couldn't just be well designed and do a good job. That'd be too obvious.

try a simplistic and intuitive interface, boatloads of accessories, and being a part of a monstruous community, all while being "hip" to some.

I'll probably go for one of the original ipods in a year or so's time.

Creative's line are PURE shit. I had real bad problems and their tech support absolutely fucked me. So really, don't go with creative. Their replacement for a broken player was a second hand dirty player with someone elses music on it. I still can't believe that shit.

the ipods I've used are great, and with the iTrip one would be ideal when I get a car.

creative's got the edge over the pod sound quality-wise thru the headphone outs, but it's negligable to most ears. not intuitive at all either.
