Obsessive waste of money on iPods.

Why do people buy these things anyways? They are overpriced and with every upgrade, you still have the same music player.

1gig iPod Nano costs about 70 dollars. 80gig iPod costs 350 dollars. I'm not seeing the conversion factor here.

Also, I could get a 250gig harddrive for the price of a 1gig iPod nano. Who cares if one is portable, do you even need 80gigs for songs (Protip: You don't).

I challenge you to find me an MP3 player better than my 8GB iPod Nano:

Solid state (no hard drive)
Metal body (anodized aluminum)
Best capacity-per-volume ratio I have found (volume as in player size)
Decent interface
Lots of third-party support
No DRM required (plays MP3)
