require this.
each portable audio player has its strengths & weaknesses -- you have a
choice; but if you want to copy files directly to and from an iPod, it's
slightly hidden (because apple is ruthless about simplicity, something i

phone/touch/pad devices are harder; you have to jailbreak them, which is
a high barrier for most people; the iPhone is part of a more
highly-integrated system than the iPod; overall that integration is part
of the value, or not, which you evaluate when you choose to buy, or not
