Lol i already got one
what is everyones opinion of them?

i got the 2nd Gen iPod Touch instead...

i got the 3G ipod nano, and that's enough for me nice and minimal.

Am I the only person in the world without anything "apple" or "ipod" in their lives these days? =)

Nope I'm still here and kicking. Although I do have a Zune which I plugged into my ears for the majority of the time I'm awake. Or it's playing via Sync whilst I'm driving.

try finding someone without microsoft or macintosh then

My MP3 player is a Sony NW-HD5H (not that I use it much), my mobile is a Sony Ericsson K800i (although I do have my eye on a Windows Mobile device...). Although obviously my laptop & desktop run Vista, and I have an Xbox 360... My server runs Ubuntu Linux, though.

I can't claim to be totally Microsoft-free, but I'm certainly Apple-free

But at the end of the day, I don't think there's anything wrong with using the best product for the task. Hence, Windows on desktops/laptops, Linux on servers, Xbox for gaming (the PS3 has only recently even approached the 360's level, in my opinion, and I don't think that it's really possible to argue against that). For mobiles, there are a lot of good choices, and hardware is usually a bigger selling point than the software. For portable media players, I can't help thinking that perhaps Apple has a big advantage with the number of iPod-compatible accessories, regardless of the possible merits of the iPod itself (which is, admittedly, very nice hardware - but iTunes on Windows is still a pile of crap).

Back on topic, I have no idea what a Nano Cromatic (is that even spelt correctly? Shouldn't there be an 'h' in that?) even is!

I don't own anything Apple! Very tempted by the iPod Touch mind you, what's holding me back is that I will probably get bored after 5 minutes and since I've been driving I don't use my mp3 player. Hmm although my stereo is iPod compatible hmmmm.
