    Why spent $170 for 256 megs of space? I can spent less than double

    This is the problem with apple zealots, they think "less then twice as much" is a good deal if it comes from apple.

    Seriously, the price diffrence comes from using a hard drive rather then solid state memory. Some people don't want to pay 'less then double' on an MP3 player, period. Some people don't want something as large as an Ipod.
