iPod 'hatred' comes from anti-Mac people (enjoy your PCs, but leave us Mac people alone*). iPod dislike is subjective. Most reports done by major tech groups have come back saying this is it. They have recieved rave reviews overall since their release. There are other great mp3 players out there. I think that if you can tolerate Mac computers, you will enjoy this mp3 player. iTunes is a great tool for orgainization IMO and really isn't the devil, like Speed_Gibson would have you believe. The only drawbacks I can see are the USB harddrive option is slow, the included headphones are kinda crappy, and no OGG Vorbis support. If you can get past that and think the price is okay, go for it and enjoy.
*I think that anti-Mac people should go and enjoy a world of PCs. I never preach about Macs to PC lovers because I realize how annoying and pointless it is. It is equally annoying as a Mac person to constantly hear everyones opinions about how Mac sucks. 'They are slower!', 'Macs are for retards!', and 'Macs are f***ing gay!' are good exaples of why it doesn't matter what either side says. This thread was about whether oblar should buy an iPod or not. Give it a rest for a second so we can try to give him some good advise. Sheesh.
