Okay so I don't own pretty much any Apple-related anything, though that could change at any time. I find the conglomerate a little bit terrifying, even though that goes against my whole ideal that everything should be standardized to avoid conflicts (PC vs Mac etc etc)... My issue with iPods and whatnot has been the trendy, too-quick-to-change, sucker in the kids mantra, and the fact that they really probably aren't worth $400, but anyhow, this new invention makes me TOTALLY want an iPhone....
