The thing they had going for them is it's idiot proof to the point where it pissed off anyone who knew what they were doing.

I'm solidly in that group lol. I had a 5th gen iPod Video in high school, and you bet your ass it drove me absolutely insane that I couldn't just drag and drop music onto it. The "manually manage device" setting was an absolute godsend, for sure, but I ended up installing RockBox anyway.

I still have that iPod somewhere...
