Is there anybody else like me who wouldnt use an iPod as a gift? (I feel the same about Sky)

I do have a 40 gig MP3 Player. I use it to house my collection of Audio books and dramatisations.

It was cheaper than Apple and the sound quality is better.
As for style, most would call it a clunker.
But as a tool, it works perfectly.

Luckily for me my self esteem is not in danger from my chosen brand of gaget!

All the hype reminds me of that old saying, observe the Masses and do the opposite.
