Re: iPOD

Looks like a $399 device that only works with a Mac. Nice form factor, but with a 5Gb drive it doesn't compare terribly well with products like Creative's Nomad player. The 6Gb version, which has been out for well over a year, costs $150 less, while for the same price you can get the 20Gb version. Nomad supports both Mac and Windows since they want to accommodate as many potential customers as possible.

iPOD doesn't live up to your billing

I know.

As I said, my prediction was "based liberally on rumors, hearsay, and baseless speculation." I forgot to mention "wishful thinking." iPod is kind of neat, but it's hardly earth-shattering. Its advantages over MP3 players include its very fast Firewire interface (whose single connector both syncs your music selections and recharges the iPod's batteries), and its battery life. But who cares? It's a Walkman.
