It's too expensive for what it is, a 40GB 2.5" HDD is about £40 now, put an external hard drive case on top of that and that's about £50 altogether for a drive you can carry around. So why the extra £100+ for a battery, LCD screen and the ability to play MP3's?
Because it's a damn sexy piece of kit, that's why.

I don't understand how you can compare a CD player, even one that plays mp3 CDs, with a 40gb hard disk-based device. And while I'm sure you can mix playlists and put them on your CDs, I can't believe it's as effortless as doing it with a HDD machine. Plus, of course, an iPod is smaller seeing as it doesn't have to have a CD in it. Does your CD player fit in your inside pocket?
