so much venom in this comment from Taojones...

Dell is looking to sell a commodity as cheaply as possible, they would use for instance a molded plastic case that would no-doubt crack if you look at it not to mention the way it feels in your hand while you adjust it . I ran my car over my shuffle and it is fine except for a minor scratch, Dell does not get user experience on that level, the very reason the i-pod was a lifestyle changing success! crappy interface and cheap components will not even get my attention long enough to consider buying one.

Good luck (rhymes with Hell)
