> they give their owners a warm fuzzy feeling you don't get from the junky pieces of plastic sold by creative, et al.

Warm fuzzy feelings turn into rage and hatred relatively quickly.

My girlfriend: "OMG, a cute engraved ipod! It's so pretty!"

Later: "I can't copy music from your macbook onto my ipod without nuking my music? But they are both apple! How come your cheap chinese knockoff ipod works better than the real thing?"

yet it's apple that owns something like 80 percent of the portable music player market, rather than chinese knock-offs. go figure!
