While there are millions of iPod fans around the world, there are also a growing number of people that think the iPod hype is overblown.
An example of this trend is Smash My iPod, a site dedicated to iPod destruction. The site set out to raise enough money via donations to buy an iPod, so they could immediately destroy it.
According to the site, "This project only exists for the sole purpose of providing satisfaction to people who always wanted to see that thing smashed and seeing the reaction of the people who just cashed in half their paycheck to buy one of these. Entertainment, nothing more!"
The site managed to raise $400 to buy an iPod, and has documented its complete destruction.
