Style is completely subjective. In my opinion the Ipod styling is superior to any of its competitors at the moment. To you your Sony is the epitemy of style but to me it looks like a purple bar of soap...
As for the technology well you seem to have refuted that in your last paragraph. You say the Ipod has basic and far from revolutionary technology yet you are happy with a 'pretty basic design' because thats all you want.
Style is subjective which is why I made the design of the Walkman a lower priority. What I was arguing is that a few people earlier claimed things like the iPod is a revolutionary design or one of the greatest music devices ever invented. It's not at all and that's what I was saying. There's nothing wrong with a basic design but it's when people try and claim that the iPod is superior to other products I have to point out their mistake.
es true but nobody was listening to them
Itunes opened the market
I advertised all last week on college campuses with 1000 flyers
and I bet out of all the listeners almost 3/4 of them downloaded on I tunes
This is a somewhat invalid argument. Itunes is so widely used because it is the software of preference for the iPod user. I don't have the facts to hand but it wouldn't surprise me if 75% of mp3 player owners have iPods so it's not surprising that 75% of people use Itunes. This doesn't make them better, it makes them dominant.
the screen is very screwed up and it doesnt show anything...it also doesnt light up or even turn on sometimes. a very big crack runs down the screen. there have been aq lot of complaints that ipod nanos break too easy.
