This happens only in america. In most parts of asia(dont know about japan), people buy a phone first and then go to a service provider..
the phone is fully functional and no hacks are required coz you know what you are buying..
the money a service provider makes of Value Added Services(VAS) increases his margins buy a huge factor. These include Ringtones, Wallpapers etc etc..
you end up paying a lot more for the phone when you buy through a service provider in the long run rather than buying it upfront and then looking for the best service.
its all about ARPU!!(Average Revenue Per User)
i use computers to do work and if windows/mac/linux/bsd/ etc etc gets me to my work with minimal fuss, thats the OS for me.. i think too much time is debated over which os is the most innovative.. its time people realise that choosing between options is all about identifying your needs and using whats best for you..
The search feature in windows is beautiful for this. Just go to search, point it to the removable ipod, make sure the setting to search in hidden folders is on, search the string "" *.mp3 "" and voila, it will list all the mp3's in the ipod.
Now just copy all with Ctrl-A and paste it whereever u want.
cheers!!!!
