Query: ipod schmipod

OK so the obvious comparison here is with the ipod. Let's get the negative out of the way first. It's not white, and the back isn't chrome, and when you mention what you just bought many people might not recognise the name.OK, now the good stuff. It's cheaper. It plays more formats - Vorbis & FLAC are both insanely great. The battery life is considerably better. It has ethernet on the dock, so it works with linux, mac, windows, whatever. The sound quality is better (to my ears). The support from the developers is amazing - lots of cool features being added all the time. This is the ONLY portable player to support gapless playback - this is a MUST for any dance music fans - how annoying is it when your ipod puts 1 second breaks between the tracks in your mix cds? There's more - much more - but don't take my word for it :)Best portable audio device on the market - period.
