Why does everyone like the iPod so much? Aren't there better products?

There are certainly cheaper products that function just as well. But hey, iPods are cool, a status symbol.

depends on the size it holds..but its a really good deal. Ipod Mini? or the ones that hold 20Gigs of music? It's a bargain, since Ipods cost between 200-500dollars.\n\nBuy it, then sell it on ebay. You'll make lots of money

Nope, what you bought is what you're stuck with.  Apparently there are ways to upgrade it, but its basically the same cost as getting a new ipod.

I heard a RUMOR that an iPod with digital camera is coming out. Also, wait a week after christmas, the RAZR will probably come down in price if you are looking in to it.\n\nI recommend you try other MP3 players, iPods are only good for listening to music....but have no built in radio, mic, radio/voice recording abilities, or you cant rent music (ie pay 15 bucks a month, download as many songs as you want. you can listen as long as you have a membership).\n\nTry Creative Zen (www.creative.com) or iRiver players (www.iriver.com)

Yeah, i use it all the time!\nI love it. I change the music on my MP3 player weekly with it for free. Ive downloaded and watched a few movies with it as well.  Been using it a good few months and never had any problems with it whatsoever.\nI'd definately recommend it     :-)

mp3 is a lot cheaper, but I would have to say that the iPod is better.

The iPod Invisa. It will hold 1 million songs and will be completely invisible. You can also watch video on it.

An iPod is basically an mp3 player which can hold a different number of songs (depending on the model and size of the memory). Since the term "iPod" can be used to describe the line of the product, I'll break it down into three of the basic ones: iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, and iPod Video.\n\nThe Shuffle is about the size of a pack of chewing gum. It has no screen or search wheel (a feature found on the other iPods). Two versions are the 512MB (which holds 120 songs - $69) and the 1GB (which holds 240 songs - $99). It only comes in a white color.\n\nThe Nano is the newest member to the iPod family. It's VERY slim and lightweight. It features a color screen, and the ability to import pictures from your computer. There are 3 versions: 1GB (holds 240 songs - $149), 2GB (holds 500 songs - $199), and the 4GB (holds 1000 songs - $249). It comes in white and black.\n\nThe iPod Video (or just plain ol' "iPod") is the main product of the line. It's about as slim as the Nano, but it can load video, pictures, and songs. It comes in two versions: 30GB (holds 7500 songs - $299) and the 60GB (holds 15,000 songs - $399). It comes in black and white.\n\nThe songs are not free... unless you steal them from an peer to peer program like Limewire or BearShare.

An iPod IS an mp3 player.  iPod is just the brand-name for it.  Which one is better depends on what you're looking for it to do.  Different players have different functions; some do more, some do less.  All of them, at the very least, play mp3's.  Which one is better and how much they cost is just something you'll have to shop around for.

This is most assuredly not true. Check the link below for some of Apple's most recent product announcements.  You'll notice the are not focused on the ipod.\n\nThe ipod is a fad.  Apple knows this.  Five years from now, nobody will even remember the ipod, and another company will be selling the "latest thing" in personal audio entertainment... perhaps with live wireless streaming from the internet or something.  But five years from now Apple will still be making computers.

An ipod is a great gift.. I love mine and I never really go anywhere without it..you will need to download itunes on your computer so she can get music for it. and since ipods have so many accessories they are always nice too.. the cases help protect the body and screen which is good and the ipod bose stereo docks are also very nice but are pretty costly. you could also pick her up an itunes giftcard(sold wherever ipods are sold) so she can get new music right away. \nI got my sister the new scene it dvd trivia game and its a lot of fun we have a few versions already and my whole family loves it.. also if she has a favorite tv show.. dvd box sets make great gifts.\nand digital cameras are definatley an awesome gift. you can even find them now on sale with included printer docks so you can just print the photos from your home at your own convenience.
