A device that many people think is only for music and as a cult symbol, But that is SO not the case! My yellow 4th gen ipod holds my recipies (cuz im a guy who loves to cook Italian) ,my notes for if I want to cheat in school or remember, my music, my podcasts, my videos, and my photos (or porn if your lonely and don't want a PSP), fun little games like solitair or minesweeper, and tells me the time if i seriously need to look at a damn clock cause my ghetto school cant fix a clock.

Plus the ipod is useful (and also intended for) to hold things OTHER then music but teens are to stupid to put there powerpoint or a movie in there and only put emo songs. The Ipod is a good device for 200-400 if you want to use it as a trully mini comp for notes, music, movies, videos, and podcasts and put small hacks and that loud sound that only a few people can hear for pranks!
I used my ipod to cheat on the test and listen to Nas, when I finished I played the blaring dog wistle and made everyone leave the class crying! I love you ipod lets go make some Cannolies!

A device used to watch videos or listen to music on a city bus for the sole purpose of ignoring hobos.
Hobo: hey mister, you got any change or want to talk about nothing in particular while my eye wanders and i smell funny?
You: (dont notice because you are blasting white noise and staring at a 3 inch screen)
Hobo: you make me cry inside
You: (still dont notice)
Hobo: (walks away and bothers another poor soul without an ipod)

A popular mp3 player created by apple (the computer company not apple records) witch recieves alot of criticism but manely this is only because many people dont use it properly.

the topic of little battery...: as with most rechargable batteries you need to occasionally completely run it out and leave it on charge for probably 10 hours plus (probably best idea is to put it on charge 12 hours before you get up in the morning and DONT USE IT). therefore the batterie on the next day will last as long as apple say it should.

the topic of too much space...: there are models (the ipod nano or shuffle for example) witch have little space on for the very reason that most people dont have 12 days worth of music and listen to it all (like someone like me does).

the topic of price...: basically your paying for what you get. its like anything, for example, a nice big house willcost more then a un nice small house wont it. your paying for size and quality.its a designer product of the mp3 world

and for the record of how long they last, ive had my 30 gig ipod now for about a year and a half and it hasnt failed me once because i know how to use it.
john: my ipods stopped working
mary: how long hav eyou had it?
john: about 9 months, i suppose they all break after that time.
mary: how often do you charge it?
john: about half an hour a day
mary: you charge it too often with too little, it thinks half an hour makes it full so it leaves it as its standard batterie life.

An expensive, overpriced, small mp3 playing device that can store a large capacity of mp3s. I'd find them useless, seeing as I can't even think of 1/10 the amount of songs you're able to put into it.
Some Guy: Yeah, I just got another new ipod.
Me: Yeah, good luck with that...

What people buy when they don't do research on mp3 players. I'll admit that it looks really cool and the Nano looks even cooler...but when you get down to it, the software is inferior and it limits the things you can do with your music. You can only sync it with itunes and that deletes songs off the ipod that aren't in itunes anymore and you can't transfer the music from the ipod to another computer.
About 90% of suburban high school students use ipods. They didn't go with what made sense, but with what was trendy...which is okay for some people.

1.Probably the status symbol of today's teen. If you don't have one, you are not cool. If you have one, you are cool. Personally, I think there are many better mp3 players of there, like, I dunno, the Creative Zen! Like many other people said, it will hold more songs than anyone will hear in their life. I think the new introduction of videos was, quite possibly, the dumbest thing ever invented. Why the hell would you watch full length movies on tiny little screens, when you can hook up, say, a Creative Zen, to the T.V. and watch your movies. No, Creative isn't paying me to say that, I just own one, and they are about 4,397 times better than an Ipod.

2. What everyone will call your mp3 player no matter what type it is.

A horrible invention that lets the user run around in circles to find their mtv-endorsed favorite song of the week. High points are freezing at the best times (ie, study hall, long car rides, etc.), ugly design, and hard to use operating system.
