5 Reasons You Shouldn't Use an iPod

5. Apple

Come on. You've got to be kidding me. Don't buy things from the company that made the friggin' Mac and uses vicious marketing techniques to get you to buy. Plus, we all know that Steve Jobs is plotting to one day take over the world; don't support him.

4. Confusing

With all the licensing crap and complex features and 30-page instruction manuals, it'll be a few years before you can really use your iPod.

3. Addicting

Once you get a small iPod Shuffle, you'll want to move up to an iPod Nano, to an iPod Touch and soon to the iPhone. This is exactly what Apple is trying to get you to do. You won't be able to stop throwing money at iPods and soon every birthday, christmas and whatever else present will be iPod-related.

2. Expensive

$0.99 per song on iTunes is more than a real-life album. As well, because of the massive popularity of iPods, Apple makes them especially expensive. Then, there's the applications if you own an iPod Touch or iPhone.

1. There are better MP3 players

Some people may not appreciate the beauty of the Microsoft Zune or other MP3 players but it's true that there are more advanced ones.
