I have a Mac computer. However I don't have an iPod. This craziness about this MP3 walkman is something I never understood. I know it's a pretty object! But you should start as a costumer to think about why are you choosing. This was an important question for my decision: Can you record live sounds with it?
Anti-iPod groups appeared in the last few years. Anti-Consumerists and Non-iPod fundamentalists together with angry old consumers compose this Anti-iPod Movement.
In 2005, Yegor Saks, from Toronto, launches the website "SmashMyiPod.com". He collects through it ($400 USD) in donations, money enough to purchase a new iPod destined to be smashed wile all this action was being recorded. This idea, which started to be just a revenge against a defective iPod, reveals to be and intelligent protest against consumerism when afterwards, using the same idea, he launched "SmashMyXbox.com", "SmashMyPs3.com". (and... "SmashMyRevolution.com"??).
In May of the last year SanDisc launched an aggressive marketing campaign against iPods, with the name "iDon't.com", that was also a website, saying: "The time has come to rise up against the iTatorship ... Now is the time to break free from restrictive formats and a single source for music.".
Well, I have to confess that i never liked and understood Sony with ATRAC3+, "which is more advanced than MP3". OK! But so what! You cannot use it in a Mac. Or in other MP3 players. People trade music... That's the reality! They want a free culture! If they don't have to pay for it... better!!
