iPods/iPhones are a status icon and most of the people want the status regardless - look at how many people wander around like an advertising board with a piece of their clothes advertising the brasnd they bought. Unfortunately they don't realise that people with style don't need to advertise they clothes they buy - same as the iXXX generation.
