1. An MP3 player produced by Apple Computer, Inc. Its nice features include its small size, easy-to-use interface, clickwheel (bar none the best navigation system to date), syncing with iTunes, iTunes itself, polished looks.
2. An MP3 player that is constantly ripped on by people because:
a) It's popular. These are the same people who stop listening to artists because they've "sold out". Shut the hell up.
b) They don't have one, or can't afford them. This is understandable, as they can cost a lot. Buying a second-rate player like a SanDisk, iRiver, Rio for cheaper will end up hurting more than having patience and saving up for an iPod.
c) Sometimes things go wrong with them. This is called 100% of products on the market. Seriously, you expect iTunes, a software made by a company that designs all its own hardware and software, to work on a PC with all of it's mixed-and-matched components, drivers, and parts. Puh-lease. Also, there's a simple reason why more people have problems with their iPods than people do with other players: Because more people have iPods! Duh!
d) They don't come built in with features like an FM tuner, Ogg Vorbis playback, or compatibility with Napster/WMP/etc. Listen, you don't buy a toaster and expect it jerk you off, why complain about something like this. The features that other companies put into their machines to try and excel over the iPod are so trivial and pointless, that it is easy to see why Apple left them off. Have Ogg Vorbis files? Convert them. It's a sucky format. Use Napster? Switch to iTunes, where you actually get to keep your freaking music! If you really think that other players like iRivers and Zens are making up for their huge size, clumsy interfaces, and second-rate software integration, with a goddamn FM tuner and streaming radio, then fine. Just make sure to tell your nurse at the asylum to add a little cyanide to your pudding, you fucking idiot.
Oh yeah. To the guy that said that iTMS was hurting the music industry, take a look at illegal downloading services. Those are what take money out of the artists' pockets. And iTMS is the reason the music industry is thriving. Do you not realize how many more people are purchasing music now that it is immediately available from their computer?
My only regret is that there is no level of logic, facts, or evidence that can counteract the supreme level of stupidity in the people that have defined this word before me.
1. "How do you use the Click Wheel?"
"Spin it around."
*Head explodes in simplicity*
2. "Dude, the iPod sucks, I mean, everybody has one. And, my iRiver can summon Croatian midgets from the dead. Too bad it's fucking impossible to sync and navigate my music, but oh well, I guess little people are cool too."

The end of the world as we know it. These little things of doom have brainwashed people through high pitched frequencies that can not be heard through the human hear directly from the pod itself. These sounds make you want ipods more and more. You will have to pre-pre-order the next model from Japan. These people who have the ipod will not tolerate insults or the tolerate fact that they have been brainwashed by the evil music device. They will call you a liar and try to harm you verbally and/or physically (trust me, i know). In fact, it is more than a music device. Thanks to hackers, you can get INTERNET and EMAIL on these things simply by loading a small program to it(no external hardware added)! Why, and how, could something only designed to play music pick up a wifi Internet signal? Hmm... Remember when you first bought that ipod, you give appple all your info (where you live, phone number, etc) They put that info in to the ipod and their data base so they can track you any where on earth! Ipods most likely have GPS in them to track you. And one day they are going to send you a signal to your pod of death and you will do their bidding. Kill, destroy, ruin all mankind as we know it. So don't support the apocalypse and get a NORMAL mp3 (or mp4) player!
i-person: Check out my 60gb video ipod!
me: those things brainwash you and are a sign of the apocalypse.
i-person: YOU LIAR! YOUR LYING! YOUL NEVER MAKE ME BELIEVE THAT!
me: You're just mad because brainwashed!
i-person: I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR FREAKIN' ARM OFF THEN PUT A PICTURE OF IT ON MY IPOD!
me: :runs away:

A relatively small device that allows a consumer to convert their CD collection into MP3 format and download their music collection for portable listening pleasure. It costs a lot of dough (buy a Rio or whatever if you’re still mad at the price) because of the exceptional audio sound of not only the device itself, but the home, office, and car accessories it has. If you travel, have a very large music collection, or desire to utilize all of your friends’ and relatives’ music collections, then you should probably invest in an ipod. ipod’s are God’s gift to mankind.
person one: Well, off to work, I'd better make sure my ipod's charged up.
person two: ipods are dumb and expensive.
person one: Oh, what kind of ipod do you have?
Person two: I don't have an ipod, I just like to bitch about things that aren't directly related to me.

Worst and most expensive mp3 player on the market, sold to the brainwashed public with phony ads. Comes with free DRM, self-destruct software, and will give you arthritis if you keep scrolling through your songs with it. It automatically encrypts your songs once you put them onto your ipod so you can’t dump them onto a friend’s computer without hacks, or wasting a week re-naming tracks. Also has the most soulless interface ever, you can’t even set backgrounds- You do get to be like every other loser with an ipod though with your plane white background. It has midway audio quality and god awful battery life, and doesn’t support some of the most commonly used formats. The only good ipod, is a hacked ipod- but its still a crappy ipod.
Ipod Guy: Hey I just bought a 200 dollar 1gb ipod mini
Cool Guy: Umm… I just bought a 40 dollar 2gb micro SD card, for my phone.

UD user: ....SILENCE! I SHALL ADD TO THE DEFINITION SO THAT EVERYONE WILL SEE MY GENIUS!
Normal person: .....okay....

A trendy, overhyped version of an mp3 player that helped save Apple from bankruptcy. As all Apple products, it is overpriced. Buying yourself a generic mp3 player or even one from Creative saves you 100 bucks as well as a piece of mind.
I used my entire paycheck to buy an ipod and play tasteless watered down music because my friends have one.

The greatest piece of electronic equipment ever invented, the iPod, since its release in 2001, has made easier the lives of music fans everywhere. Yeah right, hahahah. In reality, the iPod is a complete piece of horse feces. The day that mine broke was the best day of my life, and it was also 3 months after I bought the stupid thing. Ask any Ipod user and they will say that they spend more time sorting out the kinks with the piece of shit than they do actually listening to it. The only reason that iPods are so popular is that Apple has so much money to spend on advertising that pretty much the whole of north america and the u.k. don't bother to research alternatives. The average lifespan of an iPod is about 6 months, and these things cost about 3 times as much as the sansa e200's, which in fact are infinitely superior in design. The only good aspects of the iPod is that it has enough disk space to hold every song ever made,it can be used as a form of compensation for those cursed with small penises, and it's small enough to fit in your asshole, which is what most people become once purchasing an ipod. Undoubtedly the biggest waste of money and time since the invention of collectible action figures. I just want to add that I am the proud owner of a cd player, and my life became infinitessimaly more simple and happy once my iPod broke. The only way to ensure that an ipod does not break is to not take it out of the box.
Bill: Hey guess what? I just got an Ipod!
Joe: Oh, you poor fucker.
Bill: Here, you want to listen to some music on my Ipod?
Joe: *sigh, with a feeling of great sadness at the fact that his best friend has become an ipod zombie*
Bill: I'll take that for a yes. *pullign Ipod out of his asshole* Hey, why wont it turn on? How can the battery be dead? I charged it this morning! What's that it says on the screen? Oh my god, it says "congradulations, you are now the owner of an ipod, which now that you have tried to use it, will spontaneously combust"!
*ginormous boom as the ipod bursts into flames*
Bill: Aw, c'mon, I paid 500 dollars for this thing just to have it explode when I try to listen to Journey?
Joe: *Loads Journey cd into his cd player and walks away, slowly shaking his head.*
