You can do so much better than an iPod at such a better price.
I have a Creative Zen Touch, 40 Gb. Paid $250 for it and so far have 725 full CDs loaded on it (almost 8,000 tracks) in high-quality WMA, with 76% space used, so plenty of room for more. I have another 100 or so CDs around the house somewhere to get to. My entire collection in one box, with better sound quality than the iCult provides, at a lower price, with a battery that'll last 20 or more hours.
For the life of me, I can't understand why someone would pay upwards of $200 for something that only holds 20-30 albums. Unless they're making some kind of weird gay fashion-slave statement, I suppose.
If all you're looking for is storage size for the money, you're right. Otherwise, the iPod starts to look better.
Such as?
