Plus the regular iPods are freaking huge!! I have a (crappy) mp3-player and it's like half the size of an iPod. The only bad thing is that it has very little space, but you can buy regular mp3-players with more space, of course.
Also the fact that you can't change the iPod batteries yourself (did they change this yet?). So I'm supposed to pay extra and get it to a store so that they can switch my batteries for me? That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard of.
