As one dies, another is chosen.
top 5 reasons why I own an iPod:
1. I live literally 3 blocks away from Apple SoHo, does any other MP3 player have it’s own store which opens for repairs at 6am?
2. The iPod was replaced in under a half an hour, with no questions from the Genius Bar employee.
3. Works with OS X better than any other MP3 player, and OS X (Tiger) is better than Windows, and, from what I hear, better than Vista.
4. The GUI** of the iPod is superior to every other piece of tech on the market, even that new Zune, I played with it at a Virgin Megastore, is not up to snuff.
5. Stuff like ZSubway is designed for it.
*Applecare supported iPods.
Oooooh, all shiny and reflective.
