It would seriously rival the iPod if it was an mp3player. I'd get one and I already have a Creative Zen.

Hmmm...not so portable.
Though you could put straps on it and wear it on your back! Now that would be cool!

Hmm. I quite fancied How Mumbo Jumbo Conquered The World by Francis Wheen, and a collection of the older Charlie Chaplin films (the very short ones). But I was hardly desperate for them.

Though if I get desperate I can get both fairly cheaply, so no problem.

I was under the impression that the device would be palm sized. If it isn't then listening to music with it on the bus would certainly be more interesting.

Assuming this image shows it and the iPod to scale, then I'm guessing it's not palm-size...

Don't mind him. Ipods are groovy. There are other groovy brands. I'm not Ipod-centric just because I have one. I still have my old Creative Nomad Jukebox. I have had good experiences with Creative players. *nod*

But Ipods are very easy and well-rounded players.

I have a Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB. Cheaper than a bloody iPod Nano, and four times the space. Controls can be a little fiddly, but after a few weeks you'll have no problem using it.

I know iPods are good, I have a mini that's broken. I thought I may aswell get an upgrade.

I recommend this one also. I got mine for £125 8 months ago and still have 10GB to fill up.

Awww! Seriously though, cheer up. You'll find someone at some point. A few years ago I was like you are now, couldn't see how I'd get a girlfriend, and now I have the most amazing girl I could ask for.
But yes, lovey-dovey friends are f--king annoying.

amen for that. last year i was a terminally (and clinically) depressed stoner looser with no future, no hope and no girl... i'd totally given up on "love" or finding "someone", and i hated the happy, smiling people i passed on the street (especially couples) with a burning passion.

now i have a decent job, prospects for the future, plans, and - most importantly - an incredible girlfriend who i love more than anything else in my life :)

so be down now by all means, but don't give up hope *nods*

if it can happen to fatso looser me, and i can get a girl as amazing as amy, it can happen to anyone *nods again*
