I bought one the other day mostly out of spite towards Apple's general BS and so far am enjoying the heck out of it. Of course I wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot pole if a) it wasn't 99 dollars or b) I hadn't ripped my 14000 songs as mp3s so I could use them with any player. The built in radio sounds tunes in the local stations very well. I don't like the software interface but it is definitely easy enough. I am at the same time frightened and interested in the possibilities of my microsoft identity remaining the same across platforms. I had no idea my XBOX live tag would be my zune username as well. So now people can see that I not only play crappy games but listen to crappy music.

"In an attempted anthill coup that would not have been out of place in a tragic Discovery Channel special, the red ants in my backyard, owners of one of the largest anthills underground in my backyard, were doused with gasoline this weekend after it was discovered that a faction of the worker ants were plotting a coup. The plans included an unprecedented and sneaky incursion into my kitchen trash containing an old big Mac, cereal, and tasty junk. In an unexpected move I placed some honey-soaked borax in their trail and the poison infiltrated into the highest levels of their underground empire. Then dousing thier anthill with gasoline I ended their reign of almost two years, and thus they were foiled before my wife got home."

Honestly, I think my story is more interesting.
