    PS can this thread not be turned into a slating of the iPod or the iRiver is better as there are other threads that have discussed these

    1GB to manufacturers is 1000mb, but we all know 1 GB is really 1024mb

    same with PC hard drives, 120Gb = 114 or something like that

    life is a bitch, then you die.

    right click on it in my computer and choose properties, you should see it listed as 4,000,000,000 bytes there. which is every hard drive manufacturers idea of 4GB
    mathematically they'd right of course, but you still can't help felling ripped off :confused:

    right, whats all the hassle about battery life? and how much is it to replace them, how long do they usually last?

    would it be wise to buy the ipod protection plan? can u do it back in ireland when its brought back home from america or do u have to do it when u buy it
