iPod Color? What is it suppose to do? You mean the iPod Photo with it's color LCD or the iPod Minis with different colors?
I don't understand why people prefer the expensive iPods. Maybe it's the subliminal messages they put in their flashy silhouette ads that make people prefer them over other devices or because they support the AAC format which is pretty efficient (but wouldn't people rather have a microphone, FM radio, etc. instead?).
Oregon Trail? The original one for the Apple II computer or the more "graphic" one?

Why people prefer Ipods:
Build Quality - Beats the hell out of any other player
RELIABLE
Weight - damn light
Layout - Very efficient, simple
Interface - Unbeatable, period.
iTunes - f'ing fast transfers + reliable
Excellent sound quality for a DAP (although not the best)
Supports MP3's, AAC, WAV, AIFF
Can be used as an external HD
Battery life has been improving over time
If you want FM radio get a an adapter. As for the microphone, its an MP3 PLAYER, not a recording device. If you want a mic, get a tape recorder
