Just seems a bit of an 'announcement' really.
| how don't you get the concept that 'ipod' has fewer syllables than "mp3 player," and therefore is more convenient to say regardless of what you think of branding? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Yeah, you asked why people "need" to call it an iPod. I don't need to call it an iPod, but I need to call it something, and it's easier than MP3 player.

Rubbish, I just don't believe that that is the only reason people call them iPod's. Maybe I just live in an area of annoying, fashion-hungry students and it's made me cynical.
It was just something I was talking over with a mate the other day and I thought it was a valid comment, it seems the majority here don't seem to think so. But then again, most people who have replied here own an iPod. Whatever difference that makes...
Oh well.
I'm never going to shake this iPod crap am I? I guess you can say 'mud' sticks. Ha.

| That's not the point he is making. He's annoyed with the equivalent of people who own hoovers and call them hoovers.
Even more bonkers.

What these guys said. It's not rocket science, ffs - people are lazy, and therefore take the shortest route from A to B in pretty much every respect.

Mudweiser - "Hi mate, see you on the public transport in 10 mins"
Mudweisers mate - (who has an Ipod) "What? The Bus? Train?"
Mudweiser - "No, Public transport"
Mudweisers mate - "F**k off"
