Is that irony?
I like the iPod- it looks like a cool MP3 player. It'd probably be more
useful to me if I had a Mac.
But it's hardly revolutionary. Has no one seen something like this before?
Like the Personal MP3 Jukebox?
"The unit weighs 9.9 oz. and is easily tucked into any palm-sized space with
outside dimensions of 150 x 80 x 26 mm"
"high capacity lithium-ion rechargeable battery... 12 hours playback time"
It uses playlists, too.

Admittedly, it's bigger, but not that much, and it's only 50% heavier. And
it holds _four times_ as much.
Oh, and it's been around for a couple of years now. (at least the 6 gig
version has)

Oh, yeah, I guess it does cost $100 more ;O
Sorry, SJ's hype just bugs me- "There's been nothing like this before. And I
don't think there's another company that could do this" Yah.. .whatever.
