i just got my itouch for free,, BUT The thought of its battery wearing out eventually makes me sad, though. I’m more of a Windows fan,, i just realized the other day that my antivirus was blocking iTunes from accessing the internet. But I choose to stick to copytrans cause it’s simple and not complicated unlike Media Monkey,, I am tempted to use iTunes but I don’t seeany point in using it since I don’t buy music from iTunes. What’s so good about CopyTrans is u can transfer mP3 songs directly from pc folders to your ipod and vice versa . I must admit you have to use earphones to hear the best sound quality when playing songs on your iPod, but I don’t know,, I just love my itouch. Or i just like showing off , i guess, LOL

I have an iPod that I have had for four years now, before your article was published, and i feel that some of your information that you have “researched” is incorrect.
All of the music on my iPod has either been downloaded from another sites or taken from CD’s that i have previously bought. You do not have to purchase the music from the iTunes store. You can just drag your music into the iTunes program.
Although iTunes is the main program to use your iPod on there are other music programs available that are alos conpatible with the iPod.
You are also able to use your iPod as a storage device without effecting your music. So you can use it instead of a pen. There is a option in your iPod settings that allows you to not automatically syncronise your iPod with the computer it is plugged into.
I agree with you that they are expensive, if not riduculously overpriced, and there are other MP3 players that are able to do the same things that the iPod can do. They don’t have the most amazing quality of sound, but it is acceptable, as the main usuer of the iPod is children and young adults that more than likely cant tell the difference between the quality.
Also on the new version of iTunes any file that is in a WMA format will be automatically re-formatted into a MP3 format.
I also agree on your point, that not being able to access or change the batterry is a very bad idea.

I still think the price of ipod touch is not reasonable even it is the best product. My friend bought an mp4 player for less than $100 a year ago, where itouch is still $199. Talking about features, it is full featured touchscreen and has most of the option that itouch has (except two finger zooming) plus it has a flash camera with ability to record video. My another friend bought an itouchrecently and i got bored using it in ONE day. People who give more importance to showing off than functionality, they will probably feel itouch is reasonable because they count showing off as a costly feature.
Being an economic student, my advice is to ask yourself these questions:
A futureshop or bestbuy flyer has all mp3 players in one section and ipod touch add in seperate section with more writings. How much do you think the apple pays to those retailers for putting their product into separate page? Where do you think the apple makes up these money to maintain their profit? These explains why it is expensive comparitively. Bear in mind, there is a large percent of your money that is used to provide further advertisement instead of providing you more feature if you buy itouch.

higeemah:
I suggest you read the date of the article, back then the ipod did not have FM radio. Everything in the article is 100% correct for the date. I did my research before writing the article and sadly most of it is still true. The prices are still not reasonable. You can get a much better MP3 player player for a better price.

For one, you CAN upload music to your ipod from other sites besides ipod. There is FM and AM radio on the ipod. The prices are pretty reasonable considering all the features it comes with. A lot of these statements you have writen are FALSE. So i suggest making sure your facts are 100% true before you post them.
But i needed disadvantages of the iPod and this was very helpful.
Thank you. (:

I’m writing an article for a school newspaper (it’s an assignment). I also do not agree with ALL of your disadvantages listed. You can play WMA on the iPod, and converting music doesn’t take long. Although some of the information you have posted has helped me, I’d like you to make sure you get all your info right next time. The next person to read your info may need it like I do, and they can be mislead.
Which is not good.

Thanks for the info
