i look at it from both sides, and i do believe we, as in the consumer, shouldnt have to pay for this shit. On the same note though, I dont fault apple for this cause its their hardware and they have the right to charge anyone that wants to fuck wit it. Just like third party controllers and stuff; the companies that make these things have to pay royalties and pass certain quality tests in order to use a companies hardware as a vehicle to market their own product.

Their trying to protect their own intellectual property......

On a side note, doesnt Apple already pay MS for royalties on the iPod?.....lol

WMA's have some of the best quality per bit rate out there.  Much better then mp3's.

It converts WMAs in my iTunes Library so they can be put onto my iPod. You can completely use it as a portable hard drive. There are many other programs and plug ins you can use to  sync it. And once again there are many software apps to upload songs from iPod to your computer. Im sorry but you are very misinformed on a great product.

I'm referring to stock ipods, for freak sake.  I realize that you can accomplish my of these things with hacked downloads.

My brother bought his wife a 4GB ipod mini and is getting the x360 for this christmas. I'm sure he will try to avoid apple's products in the future if they keep rejecting MS' offers for interoperability. Way to shoot yourself in the foot there Jobbs.

and so am I... stock iPods and free software that isn't "hacked" it's just something someone wrote to share... you aren't violating anything... much worse to mod an xbox yet we are all here most of us anticipating doing just that and we don't see that as a violation.  I have never installed anything I didn't want and get lots of use out of that iPod I have, my only complaint is that most people don't have firewire ports so for me and my old iPod that is a problem... but that's life.

True, but a stock ipod does not come with this software, and most idots who own ipods are unaware of such software.  Apple does not intend their ipod to be used in such a way.

Yeah, I can't see much NEED to go over 10 gigs really... I had a computer client of mine that saw me pull out a usb mem stick and was like "oh is that a 1 gig one?" I was like uhh, no just 128mb for what I do with it I really don't need much more than that... she was like "oh, I got a 1 gig one... what does that mean anyway?"
