a topic on urbandictionary.com that has been used to discuss the pros and cons of ipods between viewers. Besides it is too expensive and the only reason it has more sales than any other is because people are stupid
The iPod is an enigma in both terms of success and controversy; some customers find the product unreliable and the battery difficult to change where as others praise its simple design and ease of use. An example of its design would be the touch-sensitive wheel that allows you to easily select an artist, album or track intuitively and at speed.
People who dislike the iPod often quote that it's over-priced, unreliable and that most people cannot use the storage space - this is mostly true for any similar device on the market, although the perceived lack of reliability of any popular product will doubtlessly be driven by how vocal disappointed individuals are. The most dumbfounding claim is that you can only use music bought from iTunes and that the software is difficult and unreliable to use. There are many third-party applications that work with an iPod, and the player supports many codecs. Should you try and transfer an unsupported codec, iTunes will automaticlly convert it - obviously you do not have to have purchased your music from iTunes to have it in your library.
iPod is subject to a lot of jealousy from school-age children.
Want to see something fun? Diss the Ipod in front of an Apple Computers employee. They'll react like you just slapped their mom and tell you(in a whiny butthurt tone) to quit complaining and send your concerns to apple's customer service. Good lord, its just a fucking mp3 player! All electronics have their ups and downs and goddamnit we have a godgiven right to complain about the technical issues of them. I guess if you jab at any apple product's flaws, the brainwashed facade starts to crumble and i-cultists will stop at nothing to keep the delusion alive.
I worked for Bose, and sold iPods. We wanted to put some mp3s on the display model so customers could try it out... and it crashed every PC it was hooked up to. While complaining amongst ourselves, an Apple store worker happened by and took things a bit personal.
