Ya like someone who spends over 100,000 is gonna wanna go cheap on a non-ipod piece of garbage! Get real. Those that don't buy iPods 'simply' cause it's an Apple product should get real and over their complexes and insecurities. Beat it to death, argue till ur nuts fall off, the iPod to this day remains the KING by a HUUUUUGE long shot and anyone who opts for anything else is simply screwing themselves..NO ONE else.

More Microjunk. Exactly what the world needs.

Siiiigh....yet another useless iPod wannabe.

Can someone file this under useless junk please!

Samsung win? IN your dreams.

None of these competitors stand a chance against the ipod and the reason is more than technical. The iPod is part of a hub, part of something designed to work together, something that 99% find easy to use and more importantly love to use.

You can create the best hardware (pretty hard to beat Apple though), but if its a single thing, part of nothing, its doomed to fail except for that 0.05% that insist to spend hours wasted trying to find rational for these products.

What saddens me is seeing all these companies trying to win market share away from Apple instead of creating a new novel idea and creating a new market for it. Apple is the perfect example that 99% of tech companies are worth nothing really and contribute ZERO to society.

STEVE JOBS FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

If there was a GOD of technology...Steve Jobs would definately be Him! Hands down no debate!

I think it should only be HP in that grave yard.

along with Real that is.

Apple OWNS them both and for a long time to come! HP Sauce and Get Real... LOL..what a bunch of 3rd rate morons.

#19. You are quite the idiot aren't you?

You're blasting Apple, when it was Apple that STARTED this whole digital music thing and changed the world. No other company in the world has been able to do that. All those other clowns attempt to steal from Apple an idea that IT MATERIALIZED INTO SUCCESS.

iTunes and iPod is the best 'legal' music experience hands down. Nothing comes even remotely close. Whatever Apple has done to protects ITS OWN service/product is 100% meritted and any other company would have done the same.

So please take your Apple envy and your lack of a clue and go play elsewhere. I hope Apple & Google actually do join forces to rid the market of the filth that pollutes it. Maybe that will force other companies to THINK and come up with something interesting rather than spend billions of dollars trying to leach off of someone else's success.

This doesn't make any sense and certainly not for Google. Something like a video movie store is not part of Google's identity. Focus is the key to success; when you start wandering into areas that you have no business in, you lose. History never fails.

Apple & Google partnership of some sort would finally rid the market of all the other garbage and give us only the best. In this field, other than iPod, there simply ain't nothing else.
