I know IPODS are very popular now, but what's the appeal of them at $250-$350? Does it just play gigabytes worth of MP3s or does it do something else as well? I see MP3 players (with lower storage capacity) for significantly less.. and then there are cd players that can play mp3s. So is it the attractive packaging, the gigabytes of storage, compact design, and/or something else?

interface and style. it's still one of the smaller sized players out there. to some of us, that tenth of an inch still makes a difference. the zen still feels like brick to me. hell, after using an ipod mini, the ipods are somewhat brick-like to each his own tho, if none of that matters to you, get what works for you.

I wouldn't have bought an Apple if it wasn't for the discount. Months ago my school was selling and still are, 15 inch powerbooks for $1799. Retail is $2499. One hell of a deal eventhough Apple just upgraded their Powerbooks.

You go to school in California, don't you...
