What Is So Great About Ipods ?

In a some pc mag, internet articles or newspaper there always someone talking about ipod. Is the ipod more than an mp3 player. I don`t see anything so Special about ipods.

it can hold huge amounts of mp3s. (40gb or 10k songs.). the new one weighs as much as 2 CDS!.. most mp3 players cannot hold hold more than 256kb, while the majority of those only hold 128.

I don`t like the way it looks but i love the Capacity :P

there's also the Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen

i (stupidly) bought a minidisc player last year
should have got an mp3 player :(

i think the iPod looks good, it's really light too

yea im debating whether to buy one.. its taken me quite a while to get enough money, being in school and all.

also, whats the deal with insurance on these things. i mean it sounds stupid, but i bet ppl lose them all the time.

i got a 5 year coverplan on my minidisc player for about £85
quite a rip off, but considering i paid over £200 for the player, i thought it'd be worth it

i think insurence is in case somthing goes wrong with the product

and if u want an mp3 player look at this, mp3

and its much cheaper than the ipod
