That seems to make sense. But then I thought; Isn't that just a tiny iPad then, or an iPhone without the Phone bit?

On the downside there is obviously iTunes, the godawful headphones that come with it (ditched them after day one) and the equalizer presets for music are crap too. Surely we can have manual equalizers? Not everyone is tone deaf! I turn the equalizer off.

I've already pointed this out before but that's one of the things I hate about the iPod. It's expensive, it can do a lot and I know apple built in some pretty decent soundcards in their iMacs and such. But the iPod, compared to other 'decent' mp3 players like Creatives, Logitech, Philips or whatever, sounds... not good at all. And I mean connected to an audio rig, not based on the sound of the (indeed godawful) headphones. It's a pity. They sort of missed the point. It can do so much, but in the end as a music player it's not that brilliant in comparison.
Ghehe, makes me think of the Samsung Galaxy S. I'm not sure what it's like overthere, but overhere these phones sound awful. When someone with a galaxy S calls me, I have a hard time hearing what they say. It runs a nice OS, it has a pretty good camera, it's got a brilliant screen but for ****s' sake it's a friggin' phone! How can it do ANYTHING except being a decent phone? I just don't get it.
