I don't know much about ipods, though I would like one... this iriver thing sounds cooler, though, since it plays videos. I had never heard of iriver before though.
Who owns an iPod?

I think I'm going to join the dark side and buy the new iPod (the black one).
15,000 songs, 25,000 photos and 150 hours of video! iTunes are also going to make TV shows available for download, for around £1/$2 per episode. Sounds great!

Well, I broke down and got one of these babies for about $120 from geeks.com. It's a 20GB music player (Windows-based, uses WMP), and although the controls aren't as user-friendly as an iPod, it cost me about a third of the price. I've put all the albums I own on it (which is a fair amount), and I still have over half of it free!
Cheap, huge hard disk size, and had all the accessories and cables I need: adapter, neoprene sleeve, earbuds with built-in microphone (it's also a voice recorder), USB transfer cable, and software.
For the price, I like it. If money were no object, I'd have a similar iPod, but money IS an object, so this is a great compromise for me. And, with my tape adapter in the car, I have every album I own with me at all times. LOVE new technology.

[quote=HellboyUnleashed]The only problem with the iPod in my opinion, is the battery. after a while it starts to work for less and less amounts of time b/ charges. so u have ot charge it more.
I've experienced that problem with my ipod as well. I have a Mini and I've noticed that not only does the ipod battery not last as long but I have a Laptop and its battery is dying as well. Other than that-I have no complaints.

Charging it all the time will just make the battery life worst.

I'll give that a try-thanks for the advice.
The iPod's battery problems generally apply to any lightweight player using a lithium ion battery.

I own a 3g iPod. I had it for about a year and a half and now it doesn't work. I know it was out of warranty but I expect it to last a bit longer than that. My old DVD player was in use until about a month ago, that was almost seven years old and was still working fine.
Conclusion: I will never buy another iPod. The new Sony HD MP3 players look nice though.

It's not a complicated situation, but some people seem positively baffled by it; early on, angry websites sprouted up that more or less declared that the iPod became "useless" after 18 months, as if they were unfamiliar with the concept of battery replacement, even though virtually every major portable electronics device over the last decade occasionally requires it.
