[QUOTE="gort, post: 42861, member: 5540"] I received my new 4th gen ipod yesterday, 20gb model. The dock should arrive today. This thing is really cool. I had a creative labs nomad jukebox Zen about a year ago and figured that mp3 players weren't that great. Since the zen was the latest ipod competitor/clone at the time I figured the ipod wasn't too much different from one of these. I was really mistaken. First of all the ipod is a lot smaller than I thought it would be from the pictures (never held one or seen one in person up close, only across a lecture hall a few times). I think the wheel is really cool, how you just hover your thumb lightly across it instead of actually turning it. I also like how you can rate songs to put them in your favorites list. I got this as part of the cram and jam promotion with my new powerbook, so the total cost was only about $65 once I get my rebate. I also got free laser engraving of my name and phone number. The only thing is that back surface is chrome-like and you can see every single little bit of oil from your skin or fingerprints. Seeing how that's my only complaint I think that's pretty good. Well actually I do wish it would interface seamlessly across windows and mac without having to reformat. However, I dont see myself using my pc with the ipod much at all. The only use my pc will be getting any time soon is for doom 3! Overall: 9/10 Of course I can't compare this to the previous generation ipods but now I can see why these things are so popular.
