There will be an iPod comming out for PC sometime this year. WHATS SO GRATE ABOUT THEM!! I guess you would have to get your hands on one to see how intuitive they are. I never really thought anything about them till i had one in my hands. I could fit every album I own on it. Imagin an mp3 player/ 5 gig firewire hardive with every electronic album you own on it. Its an amazing idea!

Macs OWN !!! The iPod is a sweet piece of candy..tad expensive though. I'd love to have one but i'll have to get some more $$ first. They know what they're doing at Apple's hardware engineering dept.

Blue_clax- i hear you very much. I'm into how small and compact they are, and I like the idea of 800mbps transfer rates and a 6 gig hard drive that small. You can all store other data on them
There was a cool article on slashdot that pointed out a kid who got caught stealing MS word off a campus bookstore computer with his Ipod. Quality.

Yeah i used one at the apple store in january, it was pretty cool. i love the user interface and the jog wheel -- easy to figure out. I didnt like the earbuds it came with though.
hmm my new avatar is off colour and not blinking as it should...better fix it.

yeah, lovely bit of kit ...
bit pricey for me so I got myself a Phillips EXP303 MP3/CD players for £99 and that should keep me going until the price of these things come down...
Sonicblue have just released a Ipod-alike for the PC but the price is pretty similar to Apples (altho you do get a 20gig HD i.e. 3x bigger than apples..)...
But give it another yr and all these prices will come tumbling...

I read a review on that Phillips MP3 player. Aparently its plaged with a bad interface and hardware issues. Or was that the new Nomad??? Ill have to look into it. XD
Apple is also updateing there current line up iPods. I think its gettin a 20gig drive and mpeg4 compatibility to support thos new AAC files. XD Apperently AAC is supposed to succeed the mp3. CD quality at 196kbps!! and much smaller then an mp3.
XD XD

Yeah my best friend has the nomad jukebox and the batteries run out after like 2 hours.
20 gig HD for the new ipod? That'd be great!
I thought mpeg4 was for streaming video...hmm. Where'd AAC come from? Is that kind of like the proprietary windows media format?

tune: I'm buying the rio riot. I recently returned my Archos 6 gig. Need more space =)
I'm probably going to write a short review of it so I'll post it here.

cool. I am sure you will love it. Rio is an excellent vendor. I have the Volt SP-100, and it is simply perfect. Works like a charm.
I recently upgraded its firmware, and it had some additional features, I just can praise it...

Anything with an apple on is going to cost you 50% more than you would pay for a generic item. I hate it.
