Anti ipod?

Been reading reviews on MP3 players recently. Thinking of getting me one since I now need to commute to work and need some music to brighten up my day. Came across a bunch of sites that seem to have lots to say about the ipod.

Personally, I have nothing against the ipod. I even think it looks pretty good. But I'm still doing more research so no comments fer now.
