Then again, I doubt I'd have picked up any iPod since I feel the design utterly bland and boring. Comparing the iGP with the iPod is IMO like comparing the previous LL forum design with the current. One looks great though it may have fewer features and the other looks bland but is comparatively feature rich.

Form over function? Eh. I like the design of the iPod.
CNet's review says:
The good: Sturdy design; wealth of playback options; FM tuner.
The bad: Unintuitive interface; has a lower capacity than some microdrive players; doesn't play purchased WMA or AAC files."
I'm guessing the purchased WMA part will be fixed with a firmware update down the road?
Where do you live? Because the iPod Mini is $250, on Apple's website. I'm pretty sure they ship internationally as well. Not to mention Student Discounts on iPods as well (I am looking at the students page, which has the mini at $230).
