They're great devices.

Recently, my partner's 18yo nephew asked her if she had any iPods (she doesn't). I took a photo of the eight or so different models that I still have in storage and sent it to him just to gloat. I'm a monster.

    "Hey nephew, look, I know you really wanted an iPod and I gloated about all my iPods and I realise that was childish and honestly I think it's great that you're interested in actually owning your media so, look here, I got you a Zune fuck you."

    In fairness I got a Zune and they were so much better than iPods. Not just in comparing specs, but the user interface: it felt like I was actually browsing a music library, while the iPod was like paging through a phone book. That extended to the desktop software as well.
