Im such a hypocrite!!!!

I have always said I would never get an Ipod cause of my distaste for Apple...I trade some paintball stuff yesterday and got an Ipod touch...All I can say is WOW!

Only beef is that it plays a very select types of video format..No worries there though..I found a converter

why the distaste for apple?

Im personally not a mac computer person, just cant control it right. but I think apple might be one of, if not the best run company.

I'm a huge fan of Apple products....not exactly how they price things, but that comes along with any large name company.

My big turn off with Apple is when I used to have a Mac there were no games for them really and the price is a turnoff also.. This Itouch is amazing though.

ITunes could be a tad more user friendly

The only thing I dislike about the mp3 side is once you sync it to a computer/iTunes, that's the only computer you can add/delete music from.

yup or it all goes bye bye.. I changed the name of the Ipod to my name and went to update it and it wiped it..I guess it thought I was trying to bypass copyright

Oh no, another I fanboy! I work in an IT company so It seems like all the I fanboys love showing off their new toys. The day the Iphone came out there were email chains showing them off, ugh.

Hey whatever. It keeps my wife up long enough for me to see her when I get off work. Best investment yet because I get smooches out of it.
Gotta love that right?

Nifty interface, wife has burned through 3 in 5 years so they get no more of my cash. I totally agree with Lee on the pricing, but they have enough of a cult base that people a willing to bend over without lube to buy their products.

I built Apple retail stores for 3 years. You could not chase me down and stuff an i-anything in my pocket.
The most egotistical, maniacal, unrealistic management approach I have ever seen from any company.
I have video of Jobs' tirades towards his designers, architects, and entourage in general that would convince anyone to forgo having anything to do with computers or electronics if there was no other choice available.
I can't post it online as I don't have the legal team they have, but would be willing to have private screenings in my living room.
Suffice it to say everyone that has seen the videos was floored and embarrassed just watching.

the only problem I am having so far is when I "sync" up a new movie it loses about 6 or 7 cds worth of songs..then I have to redo it and maybe it works maybe not...

And the Get Album art is either a bad joke or Im doing something wrong

Count me among the loyal Mac fans. As long as they make computers and iPods I'll never own anything else but Macs.
