    Well, my 30GB iPod has over 200X more storage space than this thing, storing all my music and more! Most importantly, it looks way better. It's so light and thin!! Light, thin, and good looking is by far the most important features to look for in electronics devices. Cost, compatibility, and usability are always secondary. I love Apple so much! The guys in the local MUG are my best friends. I can't wait to go to the next expo to get to some cool T-shirts!!! Yay!!

    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.
