They use IBM Thinkpads on the Space Shuttle all the time - an average of 3 Thinkpads per mission.

For those of you who don't know, Thinkpads are NOT made by Apple. Ooo, scary... good technology that doesn't come from Apple (though calling Apple technology "good" is somewhat of a dramatic overstatement)

Microsoft Zune 80GB. Not only is it just as easy to listen to music, but the zune software runs EXPONENTIALLY better than iTunes on Windows. Having tried both the Zune 80GB and the latest iPod generation, I liked both players, but in the end the larger screen of the Zune coupled with the fact that not a SINGLE day went by when my iTunes didn't lock up and force me to kill it via task manager on 3 different computers (1 vista and 2 XP's) at some point made me choose the Zune hands down. Just for comparison, my Zune software hasn't locked up or made my computer unresponsive for minutes at a time while accessing something a single time. It's been like heaven, especially now that I have Zune Pass.

Of course if you have a Mac then the iPod is def for you. iTunes runs very well on macs I hear, and its the shitty implementation of iTunes on Windows that drove me to the Zune in the first place.]]>Mar 15th 2008 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/Mar 15th 2008 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/Mar 15th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/Mar 15th 2008 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/Mar 15th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/ipod-takes-one-small-step-for-pmps-one-giant-leap-for-consumer/
@DerekB: not sure what you are talking about, but 99% of the songs on my iPod are all in 192 VBR .mp3 format, which sounds pretty damn good to me.
