If I wasn't laughing inside myself, I'd cry. For one time in my life when I bought something trusting the wide market success and random opinions, rather than gather data and facts, I am paying it as I deserve. I am such a Lemming.
I bought a 160GB iPod Classic as soon as it came out, not expecting to like it too much, simply because it was the only player of such a capacity available in Croatia. I might have bought Archos 605 WiFi (a definitive overkill, since I am not into portable video) if someone was selling it locally, just to avoid Apple bandwagon.
That said, I am more satisfied with iPod "experience" than I thought I would be. That includes the sound quality. I guess this means I am not such an
audiophile; I just like music

.
Of course, the observation of weirdness of having Hugo in the company and still selling the flagship product with UI years behind his ten years old creation stands.

Sigh, I miss the days of rapid succession of betas accompanied by even more rapid stream of HiJacks and assorted other goodies...
Cheers!
