Put us down for 6 and counting.
Still use a first generation ipod, but recently bought 3 video ipods for hubby, daughter and me. Two of other kids bought their own. Probably buy one for #2 son as a grad gift.

Three good reasons to have an ipod-

Escape Pod (Great scifi mp3s)

Old Time Radio Fan

We love our 5th gen 30 gig iPod.

Have lots of music and more than a dozen movies on it. When we travel we have a small kit which allows us to connect the iPod to the TV in our hotel room - nothing like falling to sleep watching Casablanca.

It’s easy to use and my wife - NOT a technology geek - loves it.

My family has none. I don’t get the appeal. My XM is fine for listening to music.

During my lifetime, I expect to see 100 billion iPods sold with over 3 trillion songs, 250 billion movies and 1.25 million television episodes sold on iTunes.

The iPod is simply the greatest consumer product ever invented in the history of human civilization and it has only just begun to penetrate the marketplace.
