I cant wait till someone hacks it and I can make it into a remote control for my home media room

Once that bad boy gets GPS or bluetooth i would have it in my car.

a friend of mine (who works at best buy) already has one. traded his 80G vidoe for it

I have a 8gb nano, which I only have because it was free. it's kind of neat, but I really fail to see the fascination in these things.

Loki, you did read about that kid who hacked the i-phone right? Someone gave him a car for it--350Z I think

The IPhone has some special type of glass that REALLY resists scratching. Its not like that cheapo **** that verizon has on their phones. I was pretty impressed by it.

The IPhone itself sucks because of the AT&T service. That and all its apps are web based.

As for Apple IPods, they too are the suck. They are proprietary bullshit. I have had a Sandisk Sansa, and a random generic player from BestBuy like this one:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/produ...2855107#review
99 bucks for 4GB plus u can add miniSD

I highly recommend the sandisk Sansa 8GB + miniSD- 130
and I am a bit intrigued by the Microsoft Zune 30GB which just dropped its price to 199.

I find more "interesting" the fact that they dropped the price of the expensive iPhone by $200! Considering that they are still making money at the lower price, they had a crazy profit margin on the original units sold.

Stupid trivia, does anyone know why so many small electronics (and other tech/guys items such as golf clubs) are priced around $299?

no, but manufacturing is coming down in price and the technology isnt that different from the iphone, margins are smaller, but greater numbers

I'd take one too, though i'd be happy with 60GB i suppose.
