Sorry, I strongly disagree there. Both Marlof & I use iPods alongside our Pocket PCs all the time. A Pocket PC can't store 30
gigabytes of music. That's not a few days, that's a few weeks of music. Once you get used to the idea of carrying all your music all the time, it's very hard to go back.
The Pocket PC is a great solution for playing music; my 3870 had comparative audio quality and a better equalizer than my iPod. But the inconvenience factor of emptying my SD or CF card all the time was the key decision for me to get an iPod. Plus, I use it as a mobile hard drive to move information around.

Exactly! Then why do we care? It ONLY does music. A 30 year old walkman can play music through headphones, too. Sure the iPOD can store more music, but... essentially, it's still just a walkman.

Maybe you don't listen to as much music as I do, then. I find music invaluable, especially during my commute or during work in a server room. An iPod is hardly a Walkman. The equivalent analogy would be to say that a Pocket PC is the same thing as a Sharp Wizard. :?
