Re: iMusic So the unit will only be of use to existing Mac customers? If it's just a "cool" $200 Mac add-on I don't see how it will make much difference. Apple's been preaching to the choir for much of their history and that seems to be their main problem. They've never quite figured out how to address the mass market.

iPOD doesn't live up to your billing... It looks like Apple is still playing catch up. apple.com Break through device? #reply-16533889 Absolutely. Watch for Apple's announcement on October 25. If it's what I think it is, you'll be pleased. My prediction, based liberally on rumors, hearsay, and baseless speculation, is that their new device will be a stereo component that connects wirelessly via 802.11 to a Macintosh acting as a digital hub. The device will be called iMusic. You'll control iMusic with an IR remote control, whose commands will be sent to the Mac to change Internet Radio channels, or to select playlists that you have created in Apple's free iTunes software. The iMusic device will cost under $200. As usual, you can expect Microsoft and its cloning cronies to try desperately to catch up over the next year or so.
