Am I the only person who doesn't have an iPod? I don't have the money for one, though I really want one. Why? Perhaps it's because of peer pressure. At U of M, where much of the student population is of rich kids, everybody has an iPod. When I see them all the time, I can't help but get jealous. But I don't have the money! >My mouth hurts a lot

Besides the fact they break, and I know my brother had one he'd said stopped charging in just 6 months because of the battery... Apple will charge you more to get it fixed than it cost to sell it to you, and they know it doesn't last long

Good quotes from the first paragraph of that new york times article...

"We also own five Apple computers, and have become pathetically loyal because of our reliance on the iPod. "

"Alas, at least three of the iPods were replacements for ones that broke."

And this funny one later...
"If your iPod dies because of the battery you can send it back and get a new one for a mere $65.95, plus tax. Of course, you then lose all your music."

which is about 1/2 to 1/5 of the cost of just buying a new one anyway.
