 bwahahahahahaha they put the power button on the back,  probably so that the front is more 'stylish' (read: 'lame').  fucking retards.

have you seen the new i-pod?
  seems a little ridiculous due to the fact it costs $100 or  $150 and the larger model only holds a gig
 
  i own the 20 gig and its great, i  understand not everyone  needs that much music on them at all times, but in terms of  a sound investment...
 
  apple is bizarre with some of their releases

Yeah.... maybe the button alone in the front might have been  stylish. But as all the rest is in the back... gotta stand  up, get your head in the cables.... It's not practical.
  i dunno really...  °~ª

Looks cool enough for an average "email and photo"  consumer.
 
  I like the people complaining about there not being any  input on the front of it. It's only 6.5 inches further to  reach the back!

I don't see why anyone would complain about this... it's a  good price for what you get I think, the position of the  power button hardly sums up the functional side of apple.

the decision of the power button is crucial for one reason:  it stresses where their focus lies.

everyone get's worked up about macs because of all of the  buzz surrounding them
