eh don't buy it! Its a waste of money! disk space is over rated (who listens to more than 1000 songs???) and who wants to watch a movie on a screen that size??? Get a PDA instead! Hehehehehehe (actually that was a serious comment)

Hmmm yeh but, 30Gb is enough for 5000 songs at a decent/good quality, do you really need that much? Plus the fact the screen may be colour, but what are you going to watch on something that size? Don't you already have a PSP? O_O

Not only that.PDA,i nid SD cards, watever cards....not gonna spend on tat.Ipod works as a external hard disk for my files. I bring my work home. 1 GD of files. Thumbdrive?-Gadget 1. I store my photos in office n i nid to bring them home. External hard disk?-Gadget 2 I can view fotos while i'm travelling.View n store.
I listen to mp3.Plays them WHOLE DAY in office and at home. Mp3 player?- Gadget 3 Each songs is around 3 mins. 1 day 24hrs. imagine i listen to 12hrs. 12x60mins=720mins 720/3=240songs. continue counting with 1200 songs n do abit of logic maths u will realise ur songs repeat only after 5th day.

Heh, I am sorry if I seem arrogant at all. My apologies for that. I only wanted to get to know you better using a topic we both enjoy.

As for finding better products than iPod, thats up to you. I don't think it is a good idea for me to advice you on it anymore as you don't seem to like my advice. I read a nice review of a Sony device today which made some valid comments about iPod. This was about non-video versions but it still points out the main thing wrong with iPod - people only buy it because it is cool, and everyone is made to believe its best because of good advertising that apple used. You can read the main bits of that here:

My LJ entry about iPod

All I can say from personal experience is I have just as many files as you - actually more - how does 300Gb of video sound to you? I'd love to have a device which I could use to carry all that around portably so its never far, but alas I know that buying any hard drive player, including the video ones, right now is a rip-off. They are still so new on the market and because apple set the bar, the prices are so high. If carrying files around is so essential for you, buy a removable hard drive then - you can get 200Gb portable hard disks for less than a third of the price of that 60Gb iPod you are wanting, and it is also small enough to fit in your hand bag or whatever. Maybe that is something for you to think about.

In anycase, I never had any intention of 'telling' you to not buy an iPod or tell you that I am right. If you love iPod so much then thats fine. I'm not going to call you an idiot because of that unless you don't actually have any proper reasons to buy other than that everyone else gets them and they are cool.
