wow. i succumbed and bought a 30gb ipod yesterday. i went to the apple store to pick up a firewire drive and ended up with an ipod instead (which certainly works well as a backup drive, i must say. not incidentally, i'm selling my archos). i had all sorts of reasons not to buy one along with a few reasons to buy one and i walked from the front of the store to the back of the store for about 20 minutes trying to decide. but in the end, it was simply about seduction and the loss of all reasonable thought.
it seems odd to have any complaints about something i've spent so much money on, but would it have killed apple to have an on/off button? and solid-state buttons are cool but incredibly un-useful when not looking at the interface. but more importantly, i'd give my wisdom teeth again to be able to simply copy music over normally (onto the hidden music volume) rather than having to use itunes. *sighs*
