I have joined the ranks. Now, I too, own an iPod. I broke down. 
It is a purchase I had contemplated for some time and this weekend took me to the breaking point.
The plan all along was to get the 40 GB model, but Apple has since discontinued production. My contingency plan called for the 20 GB model. Even that idea went out the window. I am what is affectionately termed an "impulse shopper". Now, I know what you are thinking, but no, I did not get the 60 GB. I bought myself the 30 GB iPod Photo (the price when compared to the 20 GB made this a no brainer).
When I am in an airport and on an airplane and do not have enough time to watch a movie, I have my iPod. Thanks to my iTrip, when I am in the car I no longer need to carry around a huge cd case that only scratches my cds anyway.
I am immensely happy with my purchase. Though the process of getting the music on the iPod can be a slow one, I have nothing but time. If I had the decision to make over again, would I do it differently? Yes. I would not wait so long before buying my iPod.
