Hell, my old mp3 player does a lot of great things, but it's not seamlessly integrated into my life in ways that allow it to be both an independent machine and tether to the desktop with no problems. No other hardware/software combo does it this well. Sorry, but it's the plain truth, and I've worked with a lot of systems over the years. I've had more handheld OS's than I care to admit (some damned obscure ones, too), and nothing is like the mobile OS X in the iPhone and iTouch. That sais, there's a ton of power in the jailbroken version. So, uh, yeah. It's not just lock-in. You can do an amazing amount with it. I recommend you actually check it out. Hi, Harri,

Apple's products are note designed to make you happy, but to lock you in, and to squeeze the last cent out of you. Look at all the missing/weird features and the horrible price. Even my old Iriver player from 4 to 5 years ago could be mounted via USB, had long file names, and could play almost every type of audio file, including ogg, of course. I am still using it.
