Yeah, I do think that some Apple products aren't as good as the competition and yes, you can get better but thats not being agressive, derisory or anything like that, I just can't understand the following they have - looking at it objectively for a moment, why would anyone want an iPhone when it lacks 'basic' features and costs the earth for it?! The iPod has a horrendously flawed output stage which is audible (to me, for the music I listen to) despite an innovative control system. I turn on my MP3 player, hit play, put it in my pocket and forget about it - so the UI isn't all that.

The iPod Touch is kind of a hybrid device and the stuff it does makes it a fantastic device, but thats because its more than an MP3 player despite the iPod tag (imo).

Oh and for the love of god, I do not have a U in my handle.

Hang on...I'll get my oscilloscope out and try to tell the difference between players.

As has been said - the Ipod is good. It plays everything I throw at it, it lasts ages and has good audio quality.

I'm not about to go testing frequency responses and such like.
