Oh yes, there was never an mp3 player before the ipod...everything is made after it. That creative 32mb sd player I owned back in the day? Fantasy. My first MD with jog dial? Clearly, sharp (thats right sharp) travelled into the future, with 1.21jigawatts of electricity and at 88mph, to steal that design from apple. Refrigerators? Yep, theyre white to be like the ipod.
Guess who actually owns the menu system on the ipod? Creative.

Why wasnt there a nano before? Becuase the technology for a mini hd JUST came out!! If you dont believe me, then do some research... Apple was the first to bring it to mass market because they didnt do anything new - just shrink the ipod down - other companies built entirely new players around it (sandisk, cowon/iaudio, samsung, etc).

I hate the ipod because so many people think theyre SO wonderful, when in reality theyre subpar at best. There are many other products out there that are just as good, some better, but people cant see past what everyone else has. No one else has market like ipod because they advertise EVERYWHERE. When was the last time you saw a commercial for a Creative player? Samsung? When was the last time you saw a celebrity blatantly showing off a player in a movie/video/"surprise" paparazzi visit? Probably yesterday, right? Let me guess....ipod.

Most people are sheep, plain and simple. For once, Id like to not be one and buy something else.
I will never be wrong for buying something other than an ipod. Thats like saying Id be wrong to buy anything but any brand X. Youre a communist.....
(you'll probably take that as being serious unless I say otherwise)

Actually Steve, the MD is just not popular on this side of the world. In Asia theyve been around longer and are just as popular as anything else. Apparently, there's one in hong kong that plays video files also...kinda strange, but there you go. Personally, Ive loved every bit of my MD player. I used to say they were the only way to record some of my lectures...but not anymore (wait...it still is if there were only ipods)
