Grant it, the Ipod still has a very slick design, but it comes with a hefty price tag and I've heard more then my fair share of mediocre reviews for the Ipods software.

While this is true, the ipod has some very HUGE advantages over any of the competition. namily the accessories for it.
all the adapters, Things like speakers, voice recorders, stands, remotes, etc. all made for the ipod while others get barly a precentage of the amount ipods get. Not to mention ipod is the only mp3 player they've ever designed car systems around. like the BMW that comes with ipod support as a manufacter option.
as other mp3 players keep changing and changing, apples ipod has already set itself up as the standard.

and ipods software argument is moot because it doesnt even require that you use that software. theres many alternatives. i mean i use Winamp for my ipod software. lol, loading and unloading songs off my ipod.

But if your not really worried about the accessories. then yea there are mp3 players at better prices. i just always like seeing the gizmos they come up with for the ipod. hehe.
