I got one as a gift from a mainstream company. Never had so much of a hassle getting it setup. In fact its still not setup. First I had to pay customs nearly $80 for a gift. Thanks. Then it didn't come with a USB cable so I had to buy the converter for $35. Now, it freezes when I try loading songs onto it. Frustrating as hell for a supposedly free gift.

I-Pods are supposed to be used with firewire...not USB....what the hell kinda computer do you have..A Commodore or a Wang or something
I've had mine for well over a year, going on 18-20 months I think, and I really havent noticed much in the way of diminishing battery life.
I don't use it as often as before for as long a period of time, not commuting the same way, so it doesnt really get the same usage except when Im working out or going on a long road trip, but still works pretty well in my opinion.
Anyway, I wouldnt use any other player, its just the best.

5 Dell Machines. All my devices have always been USB so I never opted for Firewire.
I did this as well and waited about 2 months for my it. I love this thing! I never planned on buying one, I wanted one of the i-river players, but my ipod is so cool! I got the new 20 gig one
so you hadda wait 2 months for it?? thats not bad, considering its free.... im just not looking fwd to ripping my the 1000+ cd's i own into mp3 format and figuring out which tracks of each i actually listen to
I've been thinking of buying an IPOD for the last 2 weeks. I almost bought it before flying out to Manila (for the long flight) but I decided against it as I really like the look of the I River.
have two of the 40gb'ers....they rock. Think they are gonna get stomped though when the new microsoft players come out....
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

Anyone experience that problem?
The new IRiver media players look promising.
Yea, my Ipod's battery fluctuates like no other. Even when I charged it all night. Pretty annoying.

LOL, now that I have it setup, the battery only lasts 30-40 minutes. What a pain in the ass. I'm considering cutting off traffic to this sponsor in retaliation for this pain!
got mine as a gift I had an archos player for my vacation in Europe and never really got into using it. . it kind of became my hard drive for my digital camera (one bonus feature of the archos)..
Theres a new card reader available for the ipod too from belkin
very handy if you run low on flash card memory on a trip
I have the itrip too . . I took it on a 3 week road trip. Only downside was remembering to charge it every night ( I didnt get a car adaptor STUPID mistake) The itrip is cool but in my car the ipod had to be very near the antenna to get reception . . I wanted to toss it in the console while it played but that didnt work. .
If you really want to make it easy on a road trip get a new bmw.
