Wow. Those boys at Apple know how to sell iPods.
ipod lounge is a great site, but always a little slow. And getting slower.. and slower..
Those techs in the female section sure look like they know how to handle a hard drive. I'd trust my pod with them, any or all of them, any time. Ooooh, those lucky little iPods!
Page One:
There's the shuffle, the mini, the regular size and the photo. Oh, and the U2, but we all know you weren't going to buy that.
Go to the store and buy one.
The End.
You don't need a manual, all you need is a thunb!

Is it me, or is the worst formatted PDF ever? That two pages in one thing is really annoying. What is wrong with people?
"by that I mean people who don't sit on slashdot all day wondering why everyone else isn't building robots" DECS
TIMMMMMMAY!!!!!!
Yes, there's advertising involved, but looking at it, it reads like a review magazine. Any consumer review publication is going to appear like an advertisement -- they're reviewing consumer goods that you can buy based on what you're interested in, and give you the opportunity to be a discerning shopper.
Having access to a large file like this that you can essentially use as a reference, without needing an internet connection and a series of bookmarks is quite worthwhile. Perhaps not worthwhile enough to make headlines, but for anyone interested in iPod gear and opinions, the iPodlounge is really a great site and comprehensive. And no, I don't work there.
Criticizing something like this is sort of like criticizing Consumer Reports, or pretty much any review-only consumer magazine. Personally, I really like the website because although they, of course, like iPods a great deal, they're objective enough to be able to step back and look at things objectively. They're quite well known to give fair opinions on whether or not new iPod releases are worthwhile (they were quite upset at the lack of a dock and other goodies in the latest Photo versions), and their review of 3rd party accessories have the one thing that many, many reviews online lack -- the ability to compare to other products they've reviewed. So you can go there and get the full tables and comparisons for whatever you're looking for. It's even useful for those just looking for portable audio reviews, like portable speakers or headphones.

Read the rest; it's hilarious.
5.5) Do not eat iPod Shuffle (this step is also critical)

Not being an US resident, but being familiar with american culture, I have never truly understood the reasons for naming practically all college fraternities with Greek letters. Anyone care to elaborate a bit on that?
Thanks (:
