Reason to buy an iPod

MiCr0

Howdy,

I'm going to create 2 thread, reasons to buy an ipod, and reasons not to buy an ipod and sticky them.

Please keep discussion specific to each thread

It will hopefully stop the constant ipod bashing/etc that has happened recently

can people stick to "reason's to buy an ipod"

the other thread is for reasons's not too

apparently good service (except for the battery replacement charge)
Easy to use (partly due to a lack of features)

Really easy to use and iTunes is very handy. My friend has an iRiver and I think it's UI is messy compared to an iPod.

The number one advantage I find the iPod has over other mp3 players is the interface, absolutely brilliant and very ergonomic. The click wheel is just a beaut to use.

Also the standard iPod now plays video, which is a nice feature.

What a great reason to buy an ipod, its amazing that a guy started up a sperate thread especail for people who dont like the ipod and yet smart asses have to have their say here anyway!!!

They are easily upgraded !!:D

Seriously though it's the ease of use and the styling along with the iTunes experience that wins out for me. Plus I use Macs anyway which just made the iPod a natural choice for me. I have a 40GB and a 1GB Shuffle and my better half has a 512MB Shuffle.

*scrapes some more*

Apple's recent policy change: to take back iPODs within warranty,even if it appears to be physical damage (*G*) & the supply of a case by default..

Simple to use and interacts perfectly with iTunes.

For example I have a 2GB Nano but I have more than 2GB of music, so I have a playlist for my Nano. I change what songs are in that playlist on iTunes and then hit update songs on the iPod and it syncs them perfectly. I haven't seen an iRiver capable of doing this.
