Ahhh, it's refreshing to hear a different point of view for a change. Over at TheTechZone.com, they recently posted a review, titled "Why the iPod Rules and Everything Else SUCKS," so you can kind of guess what the conclusion is. Here's some of the highlights:

• On an iPod, the sound comes out as clear as glass that has been newly polished. It’s THAT good.
  
• The regular iPod color is milky white, which is pretty cool, considering most MP3 players are silver or any other color that’s not WHITE.
  
• You can always switch the ear buds to something else, like head phones, for instance! It doesn’t really affect the music because you can always switch the ear buds, but if something else was bad, like the actual music coming out of the iPod, then that would make the iPod not so good, but it IS good.
  
• People can get really jealous of you if they don’t have an iPod and they see that you have one. One way you can really tell that people are listening to music on their iPod’s is their ear buds. They are white, and that just automatically makes it unique.
  
• Most MP3’s that people have only either show the time left or the time elapsed. Now if you combine that, you get the iPod. Yes, the iPod shows the time left and the time elapsed, not OR. Now you can see how long it’ll take for you to get to your next song and how much has been sung or played!

There's quite a bit more worthy of quotation but we have to stop somwhere. And no, it's not a joke. To be fair, we'll point out that it was written by a 13-yr old girl, but even then, it's a very depressing reminder of the state of education here in the US. We weep for the children.

Read the whole thing HERE. It's good for a smile if nothing else.
