A small music/video playing device that is useful in everyday life. Although there are cheaper and better MP3 players out there, iPods are not really that bad. The latest generation isn't extremely overpriced and it is pretty cool.
The main flaw is its accessory prices, but it's tough point is the accessory range. There are thousands of accessories for the iPod.
Buying an iPod makes some teens and little kids think that they will be with the "cool kids" after buying ones. This is DEFINETLY not true. It's just a music player with style.
The reason Apple has sold so many iPods is because of its advertising and the looks.

Bob: I bought an iPod! YAY!!!
Cool Kid: Cool. *turns around and goes back to talking with his friends*
Bob: *Waiting for a request to join the cool kids*
Bob: I got an iPod and I love it.
Joe: I have one too, but I would have gotten a Creative Zen if I had thought about it earlier. But I still like my iPod. =)

Get the ipod mug.Definition 1 (proper noun): Apple's Crappy Popular and EXTREMELY Overpriced MP3 Player, that is very easy to break and costs at LEAST 3 times as much as something just as good. Also, it requires the equally crappy and restrictive iTunes player.
Definition 2 (noun): What stupid people call any MP3 Player

Get the ipod mug.The name iPod refers to a class of portable digital audio players designed and marketed by Apple Computer. (Hewlett-Packard also markets the product under the name Apple iPod + HP.) iPod offers a simple user interface designed around a central scroll wheel. Most iPod models store media on a built-in hard drive, while a lower-end model, iPod shuffle, relies on flash memory. Like most digital audio players, iPod can serve as an external hard drive while connected to a computer

Get the ipod mug.pretty much a piece of shit. I had an iPod once, 12 months and the battery life decreased, and the sound quality is shit, and it had a crack on it. The only reason people buy it is because it is stylish, has ads, and is from the only company that people less than 5 brain cells know of.
idiot: hey i just got a ipod!
Non dumbass: why don't you do yourself a favor and put your ipod in the blender and go buy a creative zen or an iriver

Get the iPod mug.ipods are devices used to listen to music. they are small, lightweight, easy to use, and very convenient. but, like all things, it has drawbacks. indeed, they are pricey, they do get scratched easily, and don't live up to the advertised battery life. But if you love music like i do and have an extremely large CD collection, they are the one of the most convenient electronic devices ever. The 30gb model(i own one) even plays music videos and movies. You can buy an fm adapter so you can listen wherever you drive, too. You can schedule events and set alarms to remind you of things. You can watch Sin City or that really hot Shakira video, all with one small gadget. The main drawback, however, is that they are now the "flavor of the week", so people who are NOT seeking to be cool/trendy, are mistakenly put in that group when they are seen with white earbuds.

Get the ipod mug.What is an iPod? It's a little piece of metal that you plug headphones into and listen to music. I remember when I was seven and we had a device that achieved the same goal - a Discman. You can buy them nowadays for ... ohhh ... somewhere around the proximity of zero dollars. Discmans worked fine back in the day. Now that there is better technology, all of a sudden Discmans are worthless. But why? Discmans never got worse, technology got better. Worthless technology. The concept is to listen to music with no strings attached. Discmans accomplish this just fine.
The iPod is capable of holding 10,000 songs. Who the fucking hell needs that much? Of the 80 million+ iPod owners in the world, how many have maxed out the space? Only about 14. Merely fourteen people have successfully filled their iPod. And strangely enough, all of these kids were in the same room at the same time. It was at the annual GROTEFP (Geekiest Rejects on the Entire Fucking Planet) convention.
So you like iPods because they're smaller than CD players? That's reasonable, but how much is it worth to you to shave off a few precious inches? The iPod ends up being ten square inches smaller than the average portable CD player. That means a total of about three inches squared.
It's only three inches. That's tiny, and for three hundred dollars? Penis enlargment pills offer you an extra three inches, and they're only $40-$50. Now honestly, would you rather have three inches less of audio player or a Discman and huge dick? Size wouldn't even matter then because you could just hang the player from your enormous cock.
Now that the size issue is settled, perhaps a Discman isn't the answer because you require more than 3 seconds of anti-skip. Oh, wait! Discmans nowadays don't skip! Ever. That can't be what makes up for the drastic difference in money.
The iPod can hold 10,000 songs. The Discman uses CDs which hold usually up to 20 songs. Perhaps you don't want to carry 100 CDs everywhere you go. Oh, wait! Discmans play mp3s now! That's like 100 songs per CD! And unlike an iPod that maxes out at 10,000, Discmans have a removable source. So if we have 100 songs per CD and potentially infinite CDs, that's ... umm ... 100 infinity songs?
iPods have rechargable batteries, but so does Ace Hardware store. A bunch of new technology and impressive statistics really don't mean much. When it comes down to it, an iPod isn't that great. So why could it possibly cost so much more money than Discmans, mini disk players, and cheaper mp3 players?

By buying an iPod, you're buying into a trend. You are paying hundreds of dollars to be a part of the new big thing and attempting to buy approval. This means one of two things:
1) you don't already have a big thing,
or 2) you're stuck at the pre-adolescent stage of thinking having what someone want makes them your friend. Get a clue and get something else with your parent's Christmas fund.
