Dell's answer to the Ipod

There are also USB sticks that have a MP3 player built in. Not quite as practical as real MP3 players, but still nice.

I have an Ipod.... thats all i have to add to this thread

I'd just like to say that even though I can't get the new software and my capacity is only 5G, I'm ok, because I like the classic button layout design better. If my iPod is in my pocket, I know that menu is the top button, foward is the right button, backward is the left button, and play/pause is the bottom button. But in the new layout, all the buttons are aligned in one row above the scroll wheel and I might forget which one is which when I'm groping it in my pocket. I guess a poor memory is the only culprit to blame for this problem though.

Oh yeah? Well, I sent my iPod to a special company that installed a custom projection device into the top of my iPod so I don't even use old fashioned buttons anymore. All the buttons as well as the current song are all projected onto the nearest flat surface via a high intensity laser and all I have to do is say the song I want to listen to or say the commands, "Foward" "Back" "Pause" "Play" and the built in custom microphone does the rest. Buttons? Pshh, those are so 21st century.

Uhh. you had to memorize that in the first place. It wouldn't take very long to memorize it again.

Just like the first few hours with playstation.

Uhh, triangle........... ****.......... that's top.

and square is............................... uh.............. left

And! I just joined the ranks of the GT Ipod Owners (well, not quite, it still has to be sent to me) but I picked up a 30GB new, unopened, off of Ebay for 355$
