the problem is going to be drm & inoperability.

and with laws like germany have just passed about copying, it sort of confuses the situation even more!

is it legal in the US to use iPods now? i remember a story about G W Bush having the Beatles on his and the uproar it caused!

Man i hate apple. Everything about apple = gay

heres a thought let the real free market work the one where you buy a CD or whatever rip it to your player and you are done no DRM no BS.

I just hate the fact that mp3 music must be converted. Why can't it just be drag and drop? I'll accept one as a gift but me personally buying one, forget it. Until its media schemes are regulated, I’ll then consider.

I guess the TviX box would fall into this market. I think they got voted #1 in new business last year. I love it. I bought two of them. But, everyone here is correct. It may not be 100% legal to use it.

I blame it all on Apple

hahaha respectfully i give them kudos on such a easy user friendly device... but the truth is... people are too "Dumb and Narrow" to step outside of Apple, im not saying intellegence wise... but people are lazy and some dont understand the concept of what a PMP device is capible of outside of what the Ipod does.... which is ALOT

I got a Zen creative vision player after own 3 ipods that just didnt cut it.... and im MUCh happier with this zen player... i talked a few of my friends into getting these zen player... all 3 of them returned them cause they were "too hard to figure out"... "didnt make sense"... "too many things to operate"

i didnt get it at first... but than i realize how easy a ipod is, and how a handicapped monkey could even work one with ease..

alot of people are just to dumb and lazy to figure out how to program and operate a tool to its fullest use.... ipods are are just "Tard-friendly"

This will grow even further its still in the initial stages in the market and apple is the front runner all the other companies are following their example.
