A popular, high capacity mp3 player developed by Apple, reviled by many users of Urban Dictionary as a loathsome object of inexaustible hatred. Despite being nothing more
than a fairly expensive music player, the Ipod appears to have fomented a vicious social conflict unseen since the French Revolution.
Husband: "Honey, I bought you an Ipod for Christmas!"
Wife: "An Ipod!" "You Goddamn prick, I want a divorce."

I am I the only one actually satisfied with my iPod? Yes, it can get loads of scratches but if you look after it PROPERLY, as in not chuck in a washing machine, then it will be alright. I have just filled up my 80gb 3rd generation iPod, so no, it doesn't hold 'more songs than anyone could possibly listen to in their lifetime'. Of course, there are cheaper mp3s on the market, but for me, it will always be the iPod that comes first.
iPods are missunderstood creatures, give them a break!

The definitions on this site have been used to discuss the pros and cons of the iPod. The fact is, it is a music player that is priced reasonably when compared to many other portable music players on the market today. The black and white screened iPod were somewhat overpriced, and the original iPod photo was far overpriced in comparison to other players, but with the introduction of the iPod with video it has become much more reasonably priced for a video player.
Also, many underaged children have a strong desire to own an iPod due to Apple's extremely successful advertising campaign, and as a result many people buy these players more as a status symbol rather than for practical use as a music player, leading people to purchase the most expensive model which holds 15'000 songs while only filling it with 200 songs.
Student #1: Hey, cool iPod.
Student #2: Thank's, it's a 60 gig.
Student #1: Oh, nice! I have that one too. How many songs are on yours?
Student #2: Oh, like 13'000, how about you?
Student #1: Wow! That's so many! I only have like 350!
Student #2: ...well then why did you get the 60 gig version?
Student #1: Oh yeah, well why do you have all of that music!?
Student #2: Because I really appreciate music and this was the best piece of hardware I could find that would hold it all with an easy to manage user interface.
Student #1: Well... You suck!

The iPod is a brand of portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Computer. Devices in the iPod family provide a simple user interface designed around a central scroll wheel (with the exception of the iPod shuffle). The standard iPod model stores media on a built-in hard drive, while the smaller iPod shuffle and iPod nano use flash memory. Like most digital audio players, an iPod can serve as an external data storage device when connected to a computer.
Discontinued versions of the iPod include two generations of the popular iPod mini and four generations of the full-sized iPod, all of which had monochrome screens except for the 4th generation iPod with color screen (previously sold as iPod photo before it replaced the monochrome iPod in the main line). As of June 2006, the lineup consists of the 5th generation iPod, which has video playback capabilities; the iPod nano, which has a color screen; and the iPod shuffle; all three models were released in 2005. The iPod is currently the world's best-selling digital audio player. The bundled software used for uploading music, photos, and videos to the iPod is called iTunes. A music jukebox application, iTunes stores a comprehensive library of the user's music on their computer, and can play, burn, and rip music from a CD. The most recent incarnations of iPod and iTunes have video playing and organization features.
The iPod's mainstream use and popularity worldwide in the MP3 player market has led to iPod becoming one of the world's most popular brands of MP3 player. Apple's proprietary actions regarding iPods and iTunes, however, have led to criticism as well as legal battles.
