I'm a hardcore PC user - and I bought an 2g ipod a while back and I was really happy with it.
I've now upgraded to the 4th generation click wheel model, and it's definately the best choice I've made in terms of electronics. People who complain about the ipod simply haven't tried one. They are simply the best. Their user interface is superb, and the screen is large and easy to read.
Every player that is currently competing with the ipod is basically a copy of it. If you look at the Dell DJ it's got the same shape and form factor, but no company has yet to be able to succeed in what apple has: design. Simply put, the ipod has the best design. There's no design that even comes close to it. It's incredibly intuitive...I know I'm starting to sound like a member of the Apple army, but I still use a PC and I don't plan on ever buying a mac becuase they're so goddam expensive - but in all seriousness, get an ipod. The battery life is up to 12 hours now, which is fine for my use, and the accessories are bar none - there is no other mp3 player that has the same amount of accessories and 3rd party addons as the ipod does.
