I am a student in the UK currently doing my dissertation about the iPod and I would be very greatful for your feedback through doing the following questionnaire:
For music, any 3G or later iPod wins. I'm not sure about video yet, as I have a 4G iPod-and I'm not big on watching video on very small screens anyway.
I think this page at Daring Fireball sums up my feelings on the subject. To summarize, the iPod has achieved a kind of critical mass that will make it very difficult for other manufacturers to beat it. Even if they come up with something that works as well and is as easy to use as the iPod (something that is apparently very hard to do, given the lame attempts by most manufacturers to "out-feature" the iPod instead of beating it where it really excels -- ease of use) these manufacturers still have to deal with the inertia of the iTunes music store.
