Our good friend Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple was talking about how the iPod is going to die out and why the iPhone sucks. He said this nonsense:
Quote: | Wozniak told The Daily Telegraph that the iPod has had a long time as the world's most popular media player, and that it will fall from grace due to oversupply.
"The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one. Things like that, if you look back to transistor radios and Walkmans, kind of die out after a while, " he said. |
Is he retarded? Those things didn't die out because of oversupply. They died out because a superior medium for music was released...namely tapes and then CDs, respectively. The iPod is not going to die out due to oversupply, it would die out for a similar reason, if some better technology comes along.
Fuck that guy. No wonder Apple got rid of him. |

Yeah, because it's a fantastic device.
Oversupply? Is he dumb? |

So, I don't buy a new one every time I leave it in my backpack and think it's lost and frantically email the house.
I merely update as the memory gets better. |

I've had the same 30 Gb iPod for 5 years...what kind of memory improvements are you even talking about? |

Well, first I had the old-school 4 GB mini with a battery life of about 3 hours, then the nano that came with my mac that had maybe 2 GB, then I finally got tired of cycling through my songs all the time so I got a real iPod last Christmas. |

I've had my two gig nano for about 4/5 years (since right after they came out).
Unfortunately... it's been dying a slow death over the past few months. I plan to replace it in some way over Christmas. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.
