[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 563120, member: 21101"] I think that's debatable. The whole iTunes/iPod system from top to bottom, including the variety of players, the quality of the software in iTunes and the range of music in the iTunes store, not to mention the ease of use and quality of the 256 kbps AAC encoded tracks, does make it the best system in many objective measurable ways. Even if we just look at the iPod itself, in isolation. Many of the models actually do perform well in tests. The iPod 3G beat all rivals only last year in a CNET test. The original Shuffle[url=http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1778968,00.asp] (produces a near perfect square wave apparently)[/url] beat all competition in one test (the Sony PSP came a surprising second), even players costing 2 - 3 times as much. There are also differences between iPod models. The 5G iPod apparently sounds much better than the Classic (which upset me immensely as I have the Classic), but hopefully this will be addressed via a firmware update... :| Seems like you made that comparison as a ***-for-tat gesture, rather than really needing to make a point.
