    Thing is, appaling as it is, branding means more to people than anything else. No matter how much you tell them that Apple do not make the best MP3 music player type things, they do not believe it. I have been trying to convinve my mate who really should know better to get a Rio for ages, but he won't. He never will.

    Branding is everything.

    Exactly, the people who are saying the iPod is outperformed by cheaper alternatives could probably look at the clothing they are wearing today; and see branded items which they paid a premium for when cheaper alternatives were available.

    Some people might be able to ;)
    Heheh, my suit I'm wearing today was £55 in H & M for the jacket and trousers! But I like it anyway :)

    They are not available instore for two weeks. What a pain. Only option is to get one online and pray it arrives before Monday, which it won't. :(

    Although I daresay you could have found an even cheaper alternative in somewhere like Primark ;)

    Does anyone know of anywhere in the States that I may be able to order the Ipod shuffle from?

    As its only $99 over there it works out about £30 cheaper - and postage shouldn't be too much as its tiny.

    I'm tempted to get one as a gift but can't find anywhere that I can import it from.
