Re: Microsoft's Ipod Killer

LMAO... apple now have 40% of the entire world portable MP3 market... not
bad for a single product. Do you really think they are resting on their
laurels whilst the evil Bill Gates tries to dominate yet another consumer
product market, I think not. Apple already have a prototype mp3 /
quicktime/ media player in the pipeline. And if brand loyalty is anything
to go by, Microshaft / Creative can kiss their sorry asses goodbye. I
looked at a 40Gb Creative Zen, I looked at a 20Gb iPod...guess which won?
Clue.. Its white and shiny... Yup my iPod. There are few consumer products
in the world that have generated such an intense feeling of more them just
ownership and the iPod is one of them. Yes you may poo, poo this notion (I
did) but when you hold your iPod for the first time it is a very personal
experience, it feels like something more than just an MP3 player (/shrug),
I have no idea why, but it does. I have no doubt that when the iPod IV
arrives it will instill the same kind of loyalty... how any people have an
y kind of loyalty to Microsoft ?? (except for its shareholder) not many I
guess. Anyway, just my thoughts on the subject
