Nope. Don't have one, don't want one. I'm holding out for an MP3 player. I don't see the point in getting an Ipod, as they're a money trap. I don't want to have to buy songs to put on one, I'll just hook my MP3 player to my computer and load my cds one there. Plus, a daughter of someone my mom works with got a new Ipod, and the screen blew up. It just blew up all of sudden, and its not like she damaged it. She treats her Ipods well. With Ipods, you're always having to buy new batteries and songs for them, its too much hassle.
I'm sorry, I really am, but you are terrible
terribly misinformed. I mean, really, not even a factual error. But too many faults to not to say.
1) First of all, iPods are mp3 players, so it's kind of pointless to say "I don't see the point in getting an iPod, I'm holding out for a mp3 player"
2) iPods aren't money traps, they just hold more than average mp3 player, and have a lot more features.
3) You don't need to buy
anything once you have your iPod. You don't need to buy songs. You can put songs on you already own from your CDs or from your computer onto your iPod.
4) Even if the screen did "blow up" (very very rare), you can always get a sparkly new one for free.
5) You don't need to buy new batteries for iPods. They have their own lithium rechargable battery built in, and even after say, 12-14 months, the battery stops holding the charge, you can return it to Apple (assuming you bought it directly from them- best choice.)
6) It isn't really a hassle, the customer service at Apple is very good.
7) It's iPod, geez.
