Alright i'm gonna open my mouth and probably get flamed but whatever..
IPODS are highly overhyped and overrated.

-Way too expensive for a decent sized hard drive. 300 bucks or so for a 20gig drive.. At least it used to be..
-The other resort an IPOD shuffle.. Still expensive 100$ (bang for the buck-wise).. And you can't even control the music thats playing (it "Shuffles" the playlist)
-They can't play wma files.. "Windows Media Audio" files.. Which can be encoded in much better quality with less space than mp3s.

If you wanted something small.. and relatively cheap i'd go for something from creative. A little creative labs muvo.. in a 256mb size is pretty cheap.. and has extras like an fm radio and mic for little voice memos and stuff. They also play wmas.. They may not have the DRM capability however.

I'm just not very fond of IPODS.. Just my opinion.
