Say what you want about Apple, they sure know how to make a very sexy product, nevermind that it's virtually the same as every other HDD-based mp3 player out there. Except it doesn't have a radio. Or a removeable battery. Or a video media player (whoops they just recently released that 'revolutionary' feature didn't they?). Or you have to use iTunes to install music on it. But damn it looks sexy. It’s a fashion accessory plain and simple.

The menu interface is incredibly simple to use, and isn't bloated. It also looks cool. The white ear phones just yell 'look at me, I have an iPod.' Apple are the masters of hype. The OC is being obsessed over millions of teens across the world (hell, one of our OC articles has over 200 replies) and apple added a bit of product placement, with Seth and Ryan wandering around with iPods. iTunes is also incredibly easy to use. At first the idea that plugging my iPod in would remove all my songs and only leave what was in my iTunes library annoyed me. Now however, I love it. Its makes it just so simply to change around your music. In other news, I have since sold my iPod nano, whilst I loved it to bits, 4 gigs wasn't quite enough for my liking, and the idea of video on my pod excites me. So I'm planning on ordering a video iPod in the next few weeks. I think it’s because it’s so easy to use. The menu interface is incredibly simple to use, and isn’t bloated. It also looks cool.

I have a question. I mean a real question that I hope someone will answer me. What is so good about the Ipod? I man I think it's neat and I wouldn't mind having one. I do think that success builds on itself (People get Ipods because it is so successfull) but there's got to be something there in the first place. So whereas I agree it's a good product can you tell me what makes it superior than tons of other MP3 players in the market? Why are you happy you got this rather than some other MP3 player?

My second computer was an Apple Macintosh - it was EVER so cool. Then I got a new computer - some Windows based thing, and I kept on searching for the doors... Now I am into cool things like iPods. I don't give a crap if I never find its windows or doors, cause its just so FREAKING AWESOME that I don't care. GO APPLE! GO iPOD GO EVER SO COOL STUFF!!!

And how could Apple have been so right! I hope they all feel suitably stupid now. Oh how could so many people have been so wrong? And how could Apple have been so right!
