    I'm not too sure, but they both play and support MP3 music files, (tunes to us)</p>

    iPod is rhe registered name of the Apple format, whereas others have their own brand names of MP3 players. I think to play on an iPod you might have to usethe iTunes system, which I'm not keen on, confuses me and I don't really understand, so I stick with justnormal mp3 file, which I keep in a massive directory on my PC and download what I want, as i want it.</p>

    Neither format will prevent a heart attack though :D </p>

    Yes.

    The iPod is just a glorified MP3 player.

    But..

    once a file is on the iPod it is stored in a different format you cannot play on anything else, I think

    An IPod is just an over-priced MP3 player.

    If you want a humungous one (mine's 30Gb) get a Creative Jukebox, the sound quality is better than the IPod and the earphones are far better. If you just want a memory-based one, they are getting bigger in terms of memory and smaller in terms of price all the time. Only buy an IPod if you are seriously wealthy or seriously image concious.
