I'm getting a Zune rather than an iPod, they're to common now. Unless the iPod Touch was less expensive and has more memory.

Zune looks good. I wasn't bothered to import one. I would've preferred if they were available in Australia so I could see it running.

32gb iPod touch. How much are they? I believe they would cost around $600 if the other prices are anything to go by...

I laugh at Zen mp3 players, they cost so much more than iPods now and you get less space. PASS!

I wouldn't go buying a Zune... especially just because the iPod is 'common'.

The iPod is the number one seller for one reason, because they are so easy to use... that's purely the reason it's the biggest seller. You don't have to be a computer geek to use it. It's easy to get your music on and to use it is a piece of cake.

Sure, it hasn't the features of other players... but then those other players are often harder to figure out or to get music on to.

iTunes is another reason it's so popular. The online store is great.

Why is the Zune cheaper? Can the Zune online store compare with iTune Store? Features Smeatures! The add-on market for the iPod obliterates what's available for the Zune.

Just because the iPod is common seems a lame reason not to buy one!

Lol. I'm a space junky. I love the extra room. I must thank-you again for getting me to refund my 80gb iPod and wait 1 week to get 160gb for the same price

The key with the iPod and prolonging the life of it, is to LOOK AFTER IT! First thing you should buy when you get it, is a hard case, exactly what I did. I don't even take off the case, either, because it fits into everything I connect it to, including these great speakers:

They are worth $500, I scored them for $299 at the Harvey Norman sales, took a long drive to a different store just to get them, since everywhere else was sold out.

I was looking at the non-radio version of those speakers... Logitech make some great speaker sets! I use a 200W Logitech set in the shop here, and have an extra iPod Dock connected to it, and also the Component cable set so that I can a) listen and control the music via the remote, and b) watch movies on the TV.

At home I have the iHome clock radio www.ihomeaudio.com/ in black of course!) that you just drop the iPod into and can go to sleep with music or audiobooks and wake up to the same.

I've had iPods for about 5 years, Mini -> Photo -> Video -> Touch. My step-son has the old Shuffle, and my wife the new shuffle.. and we've never had problems with any of them.

I bought a DLO Video Case for the Touch, nice and sturdy with built in stand, but I only had it on for a day, it didn't sit in the Dock OR in the iHome. So I took it off and returned to the Griffin California Roll. Decent protection and an extra pocket for the earphones & usb cable. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/californiaroll)">www.griffintechnology.com/</a>
