Apple products are like BMW's.
Everything else is like A Honda.
You get a GREAT bang for your buck with the Honda (or Camaro or something). Perhaps even more than the BMW of equal cost. But in the end, there's just something about that BMW that feels and looks and works so much better.
Honestly. I'm not kidding. That's why I like Apple computers and notebooks, and iPods.

Well known analogy in the apple world...
Both BMW and Apple have about the same Market Share 5% give or take...

Just because I don't own one doesn't mean I can't give my oppinion.
Ipods suck. Apple, sucks. I simply don't like their products. I have used them, I have toyed with them. I have broken them and fixed them. I don't like them. BMW? No, to me, apple is like kia.

actually, i'd say apple and VW go hand in hand. (sorry, antarius. 
)
the owners of either try to brainwash everyone into thinking that they have the greatest product evar.
best bang for the buck, my ass. the iPod, like every other apple product, is way overpriced.

The mini's are great, you don't know how small they are till you actually use one in real life. 4-5 gig is plenty if you only put music you'll actually listen to and switch it out periodically.
