![]() ![]() More people will realize this and what Apple hopes is that more people will come over to the Mac camp to take advantage of it. Yes you can do all those things with PC's, but not as easily, and I don't think nearly as well. The easiest to use DVD authoring system is made by Apple. The most cost effective DVD authoring system is made by Apple. The most cost effective digital video editing system is made by Apple. ![]() The smallest self powered 5gig file transfer device is now made by apple.īoth of the very best laptops on the market are made by Apple. The very best MP3 player on the market is now made by Apple. The iPod is just one more small product to increase the "Ooooh! look at that!" factor of the Apple lineup. I honestly hope Steve and the boys have something else up their sleeves. They do need a real breakthrough product soon. ![]() I love the quality of the hardware and the elegance of the OS, but I'm afraid that the clock is ticking for my favorite computer company. Some will buy a new Mac so they can get an iPod, but if Steve was counting on the iPod to be a breakthrough, he is sadly mistaken. When you combine this with the price the analogies to the Cube are scary. Most Apple products are, but if there is no market it just doesn't matter. I'm not going to discuss the quality of the product. There is almost no market for it today, and things arent't going to get much better. Even when the iPod is made compatible with a PC it is going to be shelved in Apple section of CompUSA or Circuit City and it will be buried. You have to wonder what kind of research and test marketing Steve and the guys did for this. And from what I have read in this forum, the people to whom Apple is marketing this "revolutionary" product think it sucks. Currently the iPod can only be used with a Mac with Firewire. ![]()
