there is BoCo's old thread. Thank you for pointing it out to me, but as sailor mentioned, it seems that most of his qualms with the ipod stem from personal preferences. Which is definatley a great reason for him not to own one (why own one if you don't like it?), but it doesn't mean another person may not like one.
it was still an interesting read. i might see about doing the same thing he did
do one of those try before I buy (permanently) bits.. If i like it after a week, then keep it, otherwise return it.
