I would love to see the iPod, but I really doubt I will be buying one. If they were $300-400 CAD, perhaps, but even that would be a stretch for me to spend that much to listen to mp3's.
I have no doubts that Apple's product will be one of the slickest and best performing, but for me it's just too much money for a that kind of device. I'd rather spend the extra money on other toys... Having said that, I went out and bought a Rio Volt yesterday ($149 in Calgary). So far I love it. I downloaded a bunch of Old Time Radio shows off of Kazaa, and they are most encoded at 32 Kb/s, so you can get 40-50 hours onto a CD. Great for long drives, when music sometimes makes me drowsy... Since this device reads Adaptec DirectCD's directly, I can add/delete mp3s without reburning a new CD each time... I just need to find DirectCD for the Mac so that I can keep all the mp3's on one of the Macs. For the money, I couldn't be happier.
