So "The Hubby" and I each bought one last year. It was cool because we could fit all of our music and buy videos for it. After the newness of it wore off I really don't like it. People make this big deal that everyone is copying the iPod. They are because it's a cool design BUT THAT'S IT!!
I just use my iPod in the JBL radio now and it's a pain in the butt whether it's in the cradle for the radio or just out. To make the iPod respond to you you have to touch the wheel and run your finger around to highlight what you want. That's all fine and dandy until you scroll a little fast and you keep skipping the playlist you want to listen to. It's too touchy and I'm not a fan of it right now. Plus I don't like how you can't shuffle within a playlist, you are only able to shuffle all the artists.
I have been playing with the Microsoft Zune and they designed a good mp3 player. You don't have to use you thumb to scroll, instead it's a button. Way nicer than scrolling. I'm not a big fan of Apple products (especially my old ROKR phone) and this is just added to my list. Plus iTunes sucks because it does crash and it takes FOREVER to download any of the TV shows or whatever.
