- groovy controls
- groovy design
- sleek (though, see below)

Problems with IPods:
- price
- capacity
- battery setup
- features

Ipods are small and lovely to look upon and they have the best interface ever. However, you cannot take the battery out and replace it while you're on the go. The price of the Ipod is entirely too high for the capacities they offer. You can get an Archos player with bigger capacity and more features (video playback for example) for less.

These new "mini-Ipods" get my attention though. This pushes them into the size range where the lower capacity for the price and the battery setup is less important. My wife might get one of these in the future.

Apple could deliver world peace, they'd still be teh sux0rs. Maybe if they didn't suck so much, i'd like them.
