The iPod, of course!
QUOTE "Whenever someone says college students, the first thing that comes to mind is drinking beer, right? Wrong, says new research by Student Monitor, which claims than in 2006 73% of students it surveyed said iPods were in, while beer drinking and Facebook.com fought for the second place with 71% of popular votes." Source Facebook is also ranked pretty high on the list. |

iPod nano and Facebook, great combo. Honestly, I have to admit Facebook saved my life many many many times, idk if I can say the same for the ipod though.

Well, the MacBook is nearly as good as the MacBook Pro, and costs a lot less.
I've really liked both iBooks I've ownedthey're probably the best computers I have ever ownedbut from the models I've used at work, I can say the MacBook is a huge improvement. |

You might want to pay the extra $100, though. Not so much because the MacBook is worth it, but because Apple is switching the Mac line over to Intel processors, which the MacBook has (the iBook uses the older IBM PowerPC G4). |

Morning talk shows are okay when you're in a car, but I'd be surprised if a significant number of people actually listen to them on a portable radio sort of thing--especially not when you have your entire collection of music with you.

Sometimes when I listen to the same thing everyday, it gets tiring, so in that case I just put on the FM Tuner to see if there's anything new I should download for the day, and while I commute in the morning, I listen to Morning Talk Shows.

Meh. I use my music player in different ways. I've been pretty happy with my iPod over the last three years or so. I don't want a device that does a million things. I want it to do one thing--play music--and do it well.
Anyway, my morning commute consists of me driving, so I can't very well listen to a music player with headphones, anyway. Hence, the radio in my car. |

Why don't you just get an FM transmitter for your ipod? Or if you got a tape player in your car they have those adaptors that let you play your mp3/cd players. I don't have an mp3 player so I use it for my cd player. |

Long answer: I don't mind listening to the radio on the way to work. My point is that I have no desire to listen to the radio when I have my iPod, because I have all the music I want to listen to. |

And to whoever said they get tired of listening to the same thing everyday; honestly, the radio repeats music much more often than my ipod does. I have 12gbs of music, so shuffling is always good, plus I can listen to albums or make playlists all I want. The flexibility of the ipod is perfectly fine for me; my radio feature would go untouched. |

Well if that's true wouldn't radio stations go out of business?[assuming it works the same way that television programs do, but iono how it really works out]. Maybe you just have shitty radio stations. I agree to an extent, they play some shitty music, and they really do miss out on a lot of other great stuff which mondo sucks. Plus I hate the censorchip. |
