My experimentation with apple products started and ended with ipods. Their insistence to use itunes for putting music on the device eventually turned me away. I've used about a half dozen hardware music players. The ipod UX was easily the worst because of this, even compared to the Diamond Rio PMP300, which was powered with an AA battery. I don't doubt the apple has good UX for some things. But if you think they're much better at everything, you might have blinders on.

No, they're that good, overall. They do fuck up or do annoying things pretty often (requiring iTunes for iPods would be one of those things) but every other option (and there... aren't that many, really) is so much worse that they've yet to push me to switch. I'd love to see a real competitor.
