Given that you already have a device which will play MP3s (your android device), what does a new MP3 player bring you? Better battery life? Different display? Not being interrupted in the middle of that killer guitar solo by a stinkin' phone call?
Ultimately, I'd prefer not to buy an iPod, but that shouldn't stop you. People like RMS would advocate *strongly* against it, but ultimately it's down to a simple Pro-vs-Con equation. Does the pain of the non-freedom aspects of it outweigh it's usefulness to you? If so, look elsewhere. If not, go for it and enjoy it! :) -- Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs LPIC-1 Certified 2009/10/11 Michael G Fletcher <mich...@ilovemylinux.com>: > Hi Guys, > > This is more of a philosophical question...
