lol without the touch? does that not mean you just dont want the whole system?

itunes is decent, not the best, but it works fine. The new iPod firmware fixed A LOT of things, and added some new features. 

I can not believe you have a Zune. It sucks soooo much crap its not even funny. 

I guess you are just against Apple? iPod touch is brilliant! there is a lot of pointless apps, but you are not forced to buy them. There is so many excellent apps, and none of them are ridiculously priced. I cant comment on the iPod Classic, as i dont have one. My friend has one, and he has never complained once. But as for the iPod Touch, i think it is amazing. 

that's silly… the ipod touch could easily be re-assembled without the touch facility.  I never said the touch was bad, i just said it wasn't for me.  Since you seem to think any negative feedback on the ipod means im an apple hater, I'm guessing you'd be considered an overzealous fan – you should really work on that y'know!

itunes does what it's supposed to do, i never said it didn't, but once again it doesn't do what i want it to do.

the new firmware actually stops several things being done.  However, I never said it would be entirely useless – Of course it's gonna fix several things, but in comparison, why d'you think that people don't update thier psp and such?  because they want to be able to do specific things based on the firmware that's already there.  if the firmware continues to update, then certain things have to modified (if it's even possible afterwards) to do the same thing again.  While updates often fix a lot of bugs and problems on the initial system in question, they raise further issues with many other items.  That's why I consider new firmware update to be bad thing.

If i got an iPod (and I was looking into it recently), I'd have to have it set up to sync up with windows media player rather than itunes for reasons I've already discussed. 

Another reason to dislike the ipod? Processes!  Check your task manager, and you'll find on average 3-5 processes just for the ipod.  for someone like me, who keeps a close on processes, this is unacceptable.

The zune is no way near as back as you think.  Did you know, the mobile phones that sell the most are the ones that only include the functions to phone people and nothing else?  The Zune, as a simple media player performs its role and does it without any problems.  That doesn't mean I'd prefer something better.  Just because I dislike the apple ipod, and have a zune, does not mean I hate apple.  You've got problems if you think I do.  Furthermore, did you see the entire paragraph i made of the reasons why I dislike the zune, or did you just skip that part to promote you ipod ego?

Religious people tend to gather up other people and enforce thier religion onto them.  You may think it's amazing, but I disagree with you, and it's my choice, not yours.  Got it?
