Creative Labs has just rolled out what looks like the first real competition for Apple's iPod -- the NOMAD Jukebox Zen. Same tiny form factor, same FireWire connectivity, same brushed-aluminum look, but $349 scores you 20GB of storage with the Nomad. (The same size iPod for Windows runs a hefty $499.)
I've been a fan of the Archos Jukebox line of MP3 players forever -- they were the first ones to roll out affordable hard-drive based MP3 jukeboxes, and they've led the price-performance equation ever since -- but this thing might lure me away; the equivalent Archos Jukebox is cheaper, but also bigger and boxier. Although for a little more than the Nomad, you can get an Archos Jukebox Multimedia, and that one plays back video too... aagh, too many choices, not enough money!

If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
