Priced competively yes. $399 for 5 gigs or 20 gigs. $399 for 15 minutes to fully load the hard drive on the mp3 player or about 30 HOURS to load the hard drive on the player... go fig.:)
Really? Everyone I know that's had one likes it quite a bit. Says it has a good interface, fast transfer to, good form factor, and good sound. What more do you need in an mp3 player?
Well, you have to also consider that some people have over 5 gigs but under 20. I have about 12 gigs of mp3's personally, and I'd love to be able to have that all on one player. Also I'd just let it copy overnight and go to sleep. Let it run through all night and the next day at work and your set. Also, if apple DOES release a bigger Ipod, you can be sure it isn't going to be $400 when its released. And if it is, it isnt going to be worth $400 anymore.;)
In an argument though, the Ipod can not be used as a portable hard drive either, since it does not support, nor will it probably EVER support the capability to transfer files OFF of the IPOD. Their version of copyright infringement protection I guess.
