nah, I can see it being still somewhat... usefull. I can understand them not putting a lot of time or money into the line though.
I can still think of some remote case where iPods are more practical. For example, young kids < 16. I wouldn't buy them an iPhone, but an iPod might be a great starting place into mobile media. I know I was listening to 'portable music' when i was a kid, with walkmans. But I would never buy a kid an iPhone.
or when playing specific sports. where you don't want to have your phone on you, but music might help. Like downhill skiing or skating. Heck, I used to take a really tiny bluetooth player out when I played goalie, that i could put on top of the net and listen to tunes.
yeah, the usage cases have shrown considerably, but some still exist.
