LOL at your hate for the Ipod...

Apple's iPod has 65% market share of digital music players and over 90% market share of hard drive based players.

You can post these "Ipod Killers" all you want, but the simple truth is, Ipod isn't going anywhere. It's on it's 4th generation of models. Can you say that about any of these other "competitors"??

People want a simple audio player with a simple interface. Video, fancy graphics, and useless features obviously don't sell the product as you can see by Apple's market share.

There's no hate, I'm just saying there's better players out there..

Apple's iPod has 65% market share of digital music players and over 90% market share of hard drive based players.

Wrong.
Ipod have 28% of the world market, but 82% of the U.S. market, that's 2 different things.

Creative been doing this way longer than Apple, they had more generation of players than Apple.

Twice the battery capacity, better harddrive capacity, wma-support - USELESS ?? ?? Mmmmkay.  ;)

I agree on the simple audio player part though, there's millions of people out there that wouldn't understand shit if the player have more than 4 buttons.. I guess that's why it's been such a success, but personally I like more advanced options/menus/config options.

No need to lie to yourself. It's clear you have some hate in your heart for the Ipod.

Wrong.
Ipod have 28% of the world market, but 82% of the U.S. market, that's 2 different things.
Apple hasn't even began marketing to the rest of the world yet. The US market is by far the biggest one. You can pretend Norway makes a difference, but the truth is, more Ipods will be sold in the US than the entire population of Norway by the end of 2006.

Creative been doing this way longer than Apple, they had more generation of players than Apple.
And? Creative has a 2, MAYBE 3 percent market share? Their products are a complete and utter failure compared to the Ipod.

Good for you. Too bad you aren't Joe Average when it comes to DAP's. Millions of other people say you're wrong. You can purchase what you want and support it all you want, but fact is, Ipods are king of digital audio players. They will continue to be king for the forseeable future. I'm not saying you have to like it, but it's common sense that you have to accept it.

No need to lie to yourself. It's clear you have some hate in your heart for the Ipod.

Not really, I just have love for the players with better batteries, bigger harddrives and lesser price.  :)
(On a sidenote, I probably would have bought Ipod if it had the biggest harddrive and the best batteries, even if it was even pricier)

It's like Nelly going almost diamond, and DJ Quik going almost cobber.  :D
Does that mean that Nelly is a superior artist to Quik.. ?

Apple hasn't even began marketing to the rest of the world yet. The US market is by far the biggest one. You can pretend Norway makes a difference, but the truth is, more Ipods will be sold in the US than the entire population of Norway by the end of 2006.

I hate to break it to you, but the WORLD MARKET is FAR BIGGER than the U.S. market.  ;)

And? Creative has a 2, MAYBE 3 percent market share? Their products are a complete and utter failure compared to the Ipod.

Yeah, it's a unfair world..
Their products seems to be pretty good liked though, they just never had Ipod's hype.

Good for you. Too bad you aren't Joe Average when it comes to DAP's. Millions of other people say you're wrong.

I'm not saying you have to like it, but it's common sense that you have to accept it.

The same people also says "Hey Jome, I don't understand this, give me something easier"
However, I accept Ipod's success based on its simplicity, and you are from here on free to buy one.  (If you wondered that is)
