Indeed. I would have been tempted if it wasn't so over-priced, and (AFAIK) less functional than the Creative Zen. It would be nice to have some Mac drivers for my Zen (USB harddrive ones maybe?). The Ipod though has been nothing short of a marketing masterpiece. Especially when competitors with a stronger brand name and experience are cheaper.
But I am not rich and saving nearly a 100 quid is a big deal to me. Like a month's food bill.
