What the hell? Thats ludicrous. As if apple stores werent sparse and trying to be minimalist enough.

God i hate ipods, well, not them specifically, but the whole, ipd =mp3 player culture people have created, i really do get sick of saying "Its not a sodding ipod you dumb ass, i havent charged it for 4 days and it still works! And it doesnt have the stupid shiny back and isnt made out of tacky white plastic!"!!!!!!!"*

*May or may not actually have been said to people.

To be fair my zen is, been dropped onto concrete from waist height 5 or 6 times, mate did that once with his ipod and it bust.

ROFL. Ipod is too fragile IMO. But it's the trend and everything . I like the Itunes store though.
