if apple's new mini ipods are in the 100-200 dollar range, we can expect to see nearly total domination in that top five.

I heard, on a UK website of course, that Apple *HAS* announced a Mini Tablet and that all the folks who bought iBooks and Powerbooks should be upset. The new mini tablets come in every color, including 'Mood', except for white.

With statements like this:
I find this odd, seeming as the same article states that the #2 seller (units) is the $140 Digitalway 128MB.
GRAIN OF SALT. I hate stupid reporting like this. Journalistic responsibility? Heh.
I guess there is no player costing between US$101 and US$149.

I read somewhere that a engineering issue that has yet to be overcome occurs when one attempts to run with this tablet for more that 45 minutes (who has that much time anyway?) the screen skips.
It this is true, I wouldn't expect to see these anytime before the end of summer 04. Powerbook owners should start feeling better again.
US Figures
The last line of the article notes that figures are for US sales only. Living outside the US, I can safely say that I have seen no advertising for other HD based MP3 players other than the iPod (which has been advertised everywhere).
Also, working in an Apple Store in Australia, I can say that iPods sold out state-wide, and most probably nation-wide by christmas eve.
So I would assume that Apple's worldwide figures would be even more impressive than these show.
.....let's hear it for my first post!

Maybe I missed something, but you don't like the reader because it looks too clunkly yet you still carry your laptop w/you to dump your pix onto? The reader is a bit larger than the iPod, and the xfer rate isn't too fast so on-the-fly use would be so-so, but it works great if what you need is a nightly dump of all your pix onto your iPod.
Lethal
As a new owner of a 10 GB iPod I want to say that Apple can capture the low-capacity music player market by:
A) Making it cheaper than other players in the price range (either low capacity hard drive or flash)
B) marketing it like hell
and the reason why the iPod has done so well:
iTunes Music Store

Off topic, but I love your sig. I have seen many on here and I must say that most require you to have a slight bit of knowledge to understand.
Yes, I know mine are not all that thought provoking, least I don't think so.
Back to topic.
TV Spot for Dell DJ
I saw a TV commercial for the Dell Digital Jukebox today. Didn't make me want to have one. I still think the thing looks like the front end of a Buick.

This is kinda the point. The free music is no good if nobody has the over priced player to take it with them. So, a consumer level iPod is needed. Still, it can't be a loss leader, otherwize the entire music division of Apple is a money pit.
A 5 gig would do just fine for me. I don't belive there is 40 gigs of music in the world that I need in my pocket.
