The iPod ain't 'all that.'.

The iRiver H10 is one hell of a unit for up to $100 less than an iPod and it has no proprietary file format bunk to deal with. And I think it is better looking than the iPod.

At 5GB it isn't even close to an Ipod. If I want that kind of limited capacity I'll just go with the Nano.

We love our iRiver H10, as well! Even better with the configurable FM transmitter accessory. And, it even works with the XBOX 360 too.

But it sounds like I'm preaching to the choir. IMO, the iPod is highly overrated from a price:performance perspective; but it is sleek looking, like most Mac products. Looks ain't everything, though.

Wrong. The iRiver plays WMA files which is no less DRM-infested "proprietary file format bunk" than the AAC files of the iPod.

Both the iRiver and iPod play DRM-free MP3s so that cancels the WMA and AAC stuff out.
