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

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.

An mp3 player that poor/wannabe unique/jealous fuckwits seem to take pride in insulting over the internet.
For my 14th birthday I got an iPod nano. And I love it. Know why? Because it's a damn sleek design, it plays enough music and yes - IT DIDN'T COST TOO MUCH.
2gb. 500 songs. I don't need more, thats more than enough. For me anyway. So for you jackasses who can't live without your 60gb ones - I don't care.
The pad wheel is easy to use, and I wanted something I could see the songs i want to select. Hence the easy to find songs, menus, etc.
The Creative, and iRiver were MORE expensive than my iPod, for nearly the same capacity.
I don't want my ENTIRE computer of songs. I want my favourites I can listen to when I want.
I've had mine ages now, and I mean AGES.
it's not broke. I can still put songs on and off it. I've never got mugged.
Like anything in life it has defects:
Often, you can't hold 500 songs.
It scratches pretty easily

An mp3 player developed by Apple. It is usually on a one-for-the-price-of-two sale. Additionally, a popular sales tactic associated with it is the "xgb" hard drive size, where x is a number usually above 20. The fine print usually reads "it is actually impossible to have 20gb worth of songs, stupid. thanks for the extra cash, retard."
It is a prime example of planned obsolescence--not only is the battery irreplaceable, but the ipod often breaks down by simply using it.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: ipod is frozen.
Answer: Did you try using it? This is often the problem.
Problem: I don't have $40,000 to spend on songs
Answer: We know.
Problem: The shininess is gone. It looks like I scrubbed it with an iron sponge.
Answer: Buy a new one, asswipe. If you bought it a month ago, chances are we came out with a better version.

A piece of shit Mp3 player that is awesome for the first year and then after that everything on it starts to fuck up on it.
"Don't buy an ipod because you will end up spending a shit load of money on repairs, covers, songs, batteries,etc."
