I must say I am so sick of hearing about the freakin' iPod. iPod this, iPod that!! I am the proud owner of the Classic branded 10Gig hard drive based mp3 player. At $99.00 the price couldn't be beat. I must also say that this Sys Admin doesn't have the 400 bucks to spend on a freakin' over priced iPod. Apple is a GREAT company who makes a great OS. But Apple is WAY to proud of it's iPod.
"..while UK residents using Coke's new music store are getting ripped off at nearly $1.80US per song."
These folks buying tracks in the UK are not getting "ripped off". Hopefully some of you have heard of economics. The UK economy is inflated, and those who work there recieve inflated income. The price of music set at.99 sterling pound is right on track with the economy.

Actually Wal-Mart doesn't make a penny on any of the music it sells in its stores. In fact Wal-Mart sells music at a loss to attract the masses.

If you live in a state where Wal-Mart has a physical store location you MUST pay sales tax. At 7% sales tax, the song will cost 95 cents.
