I do not have an iPod, but will be picking up an iPod shuffle.

Reasons:
- I could never justify the price.
- I don't listen to that much music when away from my computer.
- I felt that is was "one less thing to worry about" (Cell $250; Digital Camera $500... I can't temp putting another $250 - $500 product in my pocket)
- I would feel uncomfortable with an iPod jogging, hiking, biking.

I'm NOT saying the iPod and iPod mini aren't amazing products, but $100 - $150 is my cut off... and 240 songs is more then enough for someone that rides the metro to work.

A screen would have been nice... but it's only 240 songs or 20 albums. It's not like I'm going to load various playlists in to a 1GB iPod shuffle.

Just my 2�
