1. Everyone has an iPod. You won't be popular without one.
2. It's a fashion accessory. You will look out of place without one.
3. What other device has a custom areola to diddle with?
4. Who cares about investing in proprietary AAC content when you can support 
the cult of Jobs!
5. Girls (read: people you want to attract) notice you when you wear those 
special iPod earphones.
