I'm sure that the 'anything but iPod' fanboys will come back with
something to the effect of how anyone who buys them is clueless,
retarded, doesn't do their research, is a fashion victim or worse. They
may also question their sexuality.

It is all rather predictable, and entertaining, in a sort of 'elves at
the end of the garden' sort of way. They've all got plenty of time to
waste, waiting for revised firmware that actually makes their iRivers,
iAudios and Creatives work as originally promised.

(for the humour impaired, the crack about firmware was a JOKE
(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=joke).
