Expanding the theme a bit.

They are all great and well worked. Could have a hardcore for hardware and softcore for the software on the online store.
Great stuff.
Most legitimate companies don't design their own logo. They pay professionals to do so. I'm not going to say don't try to win an iPod, but to the OP, you get what you pay for. These contests are run all the time by people looking to take advantage of the design market. My advice is that unless you are a student trying to get a 'real world' portfolio piece, don't sell yourself short. Real identities don't cost $300.
Thanks...
...I just wanted to say thank you to everybody that has submitted a design. They are all very high quality and it is going to be hard to chose a winner.
Thanks again

Nice to see some people starting in strictly black and white; the most fundamental use of a logo/symbol/logotype.
AndyClarke: If it's not going to work in one colour and at the size of a postage stamp, then that can cause problems down the line with different media i.e. bags, pins, signage, faxes, pens and promo items, one-colour work like invoices and compliment slips, word documents run out on mono lasers, etc.
If the intended enterprise is a small business, then reproduction costs for colour across a diverse range of media can be prohibitive.
BT, for instance, can afford to have their brand reproduced everywhere — vans, signage, you name it — in full colour with gradients; a small-to-medium-sized computer shop would find this outlay expensive to maintain.
Just passing these thoughts on for guidance.
Blue Velvet, thanks for your guidance . You're right, logo's should also work well in just black and white.
So here's mine, reworked in black and white.
I also made an alternative which ads a reference to Apple. Hope you like it!

Ch-ch-ch-check these out!
The first bunch go with the Apple/apple theme. The second is a more masculine, less 'coffee shop' alternative. The third is just for good measure.
Now give me the iPod.
If for some crazy reason you don't like mine, I think the second of J2H's (post #71, with the apple leaves over the 'o') is the best so far. It reminds me of the little ball-shaped speakers you got with a G4 iMac or eMac.
