oh, but the Altec Lansing InMotions are really cool:
1. It's really compact.
2. Good sound
3. The iPod docks into it
4. It's also an alarm clock
5. Better sound than anything $100 cheaper (These are $150)
6. The iPod charges in it.
7. You can plug the thing into your Firewire port to sync the iPod
8. Has audio in for other devices
9. AC adapter or battery powered (4 AAs)
...and that's the point I was going for. Sure, you can find accessories for everything that'll do anything. But because the iPod is so dominant, you can find some really cool accessories for it.
As for OGG Vorbis, I can understand Apple not being much of a supporter of it, as they prefer to push their own format, but in the audio world Vorbis is considered one of the best formats there is, plus it's an open source format, for the regular user that just wants his Kenny G collection in a pocket format I can understand Vorbis isn't important, but a serious geek doesn't listen to Kenny G
I think this makes you a 6.
