My company gave everyone 20GB iPods last year for holiday gifts (no bonus, but this was better :-). I had tried a Rio MP3 player way back when 64K was a lot of memory and hadn't really thought about MP3 players since. But, what the heck, I burned my ent

I love my iPod! I take it everywhere with me. Attaching an iTrip to the top makes it almost perfect. I use the iTrip in my can and the earphones on the train. I have stopped using my Palm, b/c this holds my contacts, calendars, & music.

Pros: included features (calendar, contacts, etc.), accessories
Cons: battery not easily (or recommended) removable
