And you have tried all the other players, especially the ones that doesn't have the Apple-logo on them ?? (LOL) :D
If you had read reviews from sites/magazines that doesn't start with "i" or "Mac", then you would have noticed that a lot of players get higher scores than iPod, usually for having better batteries, more features, and of course, even 40GB players being cheaper than the 20GB iPod, and yet having more features and better battery.
As for friendliness of GUI, I will have to say that you will have to be a complete moron not to find most mp3-players easy to use within a couple of hours use, I became comfortable with Creative's GUI faster than the iPod, I've tried both. :)
I have to laugh at the iPod people bragging about their battery still lasts 3-7 hours, when my Creative plays at least 22 hours, and still keeps going. 8)

Apple has always been about simplicity and design. What do you use your MP3 player for? To listen to your music. It's always been about the music with the iPod. They made this extremely simple for people to use and that's why it is the best player on the market... hands down. People don't want to bother having to figure out the 50 different features and controls that all these other players have. Keep it simple. I can see your argument for going for "cheaper" (both in price and IMO in quality/design/etc) MP3 players, but the time it takes to figure it out is more valuable to me (and to most people I would say). I rather pay a little more and not waste my time syncing and messing with the controls.
I had a 1st generation Mac-only iPod and I gave it away as a gift to get the 2nd generation iPod...
I bought a 2nd generation iPod and I still use it to this day... everyday. True, I don't have the 8 hour battery life it used to have, but I still get a good 4 to 5 hours on it about 3 to 4 years later.
People love their iPods and it's not because they are trying to be cool or fit in... it's because people are fanatic about music and the iPod allows for the easiest way to access any song in their collection in the palm of their hand.
Peace 8)
Makaveli R.I.P.:
I have the 60 gb photo ipod and I LOVE it....and I don't need such a video player which battery life is only 2 hours when you watch movies...I want to listen to music all day long and not only 2 hours, becaus I had watched any movie on it before

Sounds like you 2 never tried anything else than iPod in the first place.. talking like other mp3-players are difficult to set up and hard to use.. syncing controls ??.. wtf ???
And since when did having many features become a bad thing ?? Let me get this straight: You WANT to PAY MORE to have lesser features... ?
Imo, people buying 20GB iPod's for $30-40 more than my 40GB Creative, with half the battery capacity, lesser features and co-signing to forever use the crappy iTunes blogware, just got owned by Apple and their marketing division.
Jome:
