Personally i hate the click wheel thing, whenever i use someone elses ipod ,which seems just about everyone, i find it takes ages to get to the song i want, with it constantly going one either way. Commpared to my sony mp3 player which i find is much easier. Don't get me wrong i do like them and would be tempted to get one if they weren't so much and didn't seem to have a battery problem every year and 1 day.
