Not an iPod fan to be honest...

And you can't really call it an invention :p
It's more like... combining two technologies.
Kramer invented the ipod.

Apple made it the top brand.

it's a invention to meeeeee

Yeah but what defins 'invention'
I mean, when I think of invention I think ORIGINAL TECHNOLOGY.
iPod was basically (and I'm not saying it was any less ingenious) getting a mini hardrive and sticking it into a portable player.
Which sort of detracts from it being an invention...

They are pretty though :)

But overrated and far too expensive. (especially if you're pov like me :p)

Fact

3/4 of the starving children in Africa who cant afford food fork out the ~$300 to buy an iPod.

Then they download songs from their macbooks with their superior internet connections, while dying of malnutrition
...lol. i like you. you've got style XD

That's sorta why I don't consider the iPod an invention.

The MP3/portable media player is.
The CD player is.
The cassette player is.
The transistor radio is.
The fucking iPod is an exalted piece of crap that costs too much, and is rather overrated, indeed. :(

I agree.
The marketing for it is hella smart though :) I mean really... using white headphones so EVERYONE knows who is using an iPod. Genius.

In 2005, New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority placed advertisements on the subways warning passengers that "Earphones are a giveaway. Protect your device", after iPod thefts on the subway rose from zero in 2004 to 50 in the first three months of 2005.

LOOOL.

I wouldn't use the iPod headphones anyone; like the iPod itself, they're okay, but not great.

Ahahahaha =)

You do have to give it to the marketers.

I'm a sucker for advertising though :S Like the new sprite campaign :O GOOD WORK. I wouldn't buy sprite just because of the ad, but thumbs up :)

There's a range of them

The thirst for truth

I think it's quirky

I'm sick of sitting down watching t.v. only to see some stupid fluffy animal with an old guys voice over... advertising some bank or something... MAJOR SNORING.

iPods are for mathematics....... to block out a certain girl....... who CANNOT SING FOR CRAP and yet she's always singing...

my friend was going to perform euthanasia on me... but then realised it was illegal, and that if i she killed me, then i couldn't return the favour. suicide was not an option. :p
