When you are using the iPod you harldy make any notice of it. I blew $300 (w/tax) on mine, and I feel fine. Plus you can make it as useful or as non-useful as you wish, which I think helps.

If you want to wait for another price drop or something, go nuts.
I hope that Apple does the smart thing and just sits on the current sizes for right now. I think that the rush for the latest and highest capacity drives has been a large part of what's kept the prices up.

Not like you need another endorsement, but the iPod is so worth it.  If you love music, it's essential.  Seriously, I used to carry around my cds in a bag before I got my iPod.  This is just so much more convenient.

Are there any better ways to spend 369 dollars?

well there are hookers..

... When I go to parties and I have my ipod, we can plug it into someones powerbook and they can give me movie trailers and stuff im too lazy to DL at home. I use mine every day and it really is a great thing

$370 seemed a little steep for just an MP3 (and AAC) player... I neglected to consider filetransfer/storage which becomes a big plus

... Plus you can make it as useful or as non-useful as you wish, which I think helps.

Yet another concern of mine.  I was worried that i wouldnt find myself using it as often as anticipated.  Ultimately, i guess it is my call when/where i use it and how often i use it.

I've never really considered a competetor's product because none of the other devices would stop my drooling over the iPod.  But does anyone else think apple may add features to their product because of the recent increased competition??  I know they aren't desperate, but changes (besides the new comercial) could be made to the product to help it further stand out from the competition (Samsung's Napster player, Creative Zen NX, iHP-120, etc)

Also, what are your oppinions on the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod?? I believe it's priced at near $50 with the edu discount and extends the warranty and phone support to 2 years.  I've only heard a few horror stories of iPods malfunctioning, so it would seem the standard 1 yr warranty is more than enough.  Does anyone have a differing opinion?

[size=9]...The only problem they ran into was when the guy carrying one of the final edits of the film nearly got mugged.

I am so looking forward to getting one.

getting one mug? or one of the ipods from LOTR?

seriously, the iPod is worth every pennie. no other MP3 player out there comes close to it's beauty, craftmanship, useness and all that.

iTunes for windows resuscitated my desire for an iPod.  The 20GB model seems more than decent for $369 (under the edu discount).  Are there any better ways to spend 369 dollars?


on a random note, these emoticons are amusing (u'll have to forgive me, i've been absent for a while) ...    is that supposed to be a thumb?

Both my iPods were more then worth the $400 I spent on them, the original 5GB model was awesome, but when the 15GB ones with all touch sensitive buttons came out i had to get it. Yes they are very worth the price.

it's not christmas

And here I am thinking you're just quoting yourself. Only smart people quote themselves.

And the avatars are very confusing.

Indeed. Very well put.

Don't be stealing my style.

Having had iPods of various capacities ever since the original 5 GB iPod, I can't really imagine ever using any other MP3/AAC/whatever audio player.

Me and my GF have 3 now, 10g, 20g, and a 30g. I am going to give the 10g one to my brother...

My girlfriend bought a 10gig, and I bought a 20 gig for myself. I later bought a 30gig 3g, and gave the 20gig to my gf.
