I own an iPod, but the only reason was it had the largest amount of storage space available at the time (80GB). I replaced the hard drive a year ago with a 240GB drive. I didn't give a **** whose name was on the front, I just wanted a decent piece of hardware that would be reliable. All this brand loyalty ******** is just silly, way too many Apple sheep around that just buy everything that starts with 'i'.
The less competition the worse it is for a consumer. Competition is what drives down prices and pushes innovation.

im not an apple sheep, but i'll say this, no one else has built a proper marketplace like Itunes. Alot of companies think they need to come up with snazzy cool hardware and ****, but in the end its all a bunch of **** if it doesnt syn right, if there isnt a wide variety of music/videos etc or its not easy to use. Thats the stuff apple gets right. Their hardware isnt the best hardware in the world, but their software behind it all, is ussually smoother, nicer and easier to use than any competition. Again, this is where Microsoft has failed in the past, continues to fail (at least its fighting back now) and failed with the zune as well.
