Re: The New Ipod

The massive takeup of these iThings in the US was very apparent when over
there last week. Probably about 90% of people with headphones had the
telltale white cables (yes, apparently there are companies out there selling
white earplugs so those without iThings don't feel left out...)..
Just look at Apple shares recently, thru the roof...

Re: The New Ipod
It's the same here in the US. Every newscast on every major TV
network is providing free advertisement for Apple's iPod. After the
Apple-provided clip, when the focus returns to the newscasters, they
happytalk each other about how they really want one. I don't know how
Apple does it. It was the same for Segway, which seemed to be
associated with Steve Jobs. Followed the free introductory campaign, no
major network advertising followed, so it's unlikely the promise of
that was the motive for the networks.

Re: The New Ipod
I would say it's a violation of professional ethics, if that's what
the networks did. But I'm not so sure that that's what they did.
Maybe the news show producers don't understand consumer electronics,
and when The Great Visionary Jobs tells them he has something
revolutionary, they buy his line. The mythical reputation Jobs has goes
a long way -- but it won't be enough to make a success out of a
feature-poor TV with a cellphone screen.
As many others have pointed out, there already are several little
TV's, e.g.: http://www.pocketdish.com/getone.jsp . A
"revolutionary" product introduction would be something with a
*new* killer feature. I like mobile wallet :
http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/1115/p13s02-wmgn.html , which already has
a foothold in Japan.
