iPod The New iPod Killer

Further proof that "the devil is in the details". It is not just the specs that determine the quality of a product. There are other factors. Too many people tend to get mired down in the numbers, especially when it comes to comparing competing MP3 players or computers.

True, and there are plenty other key selling arguments that you can't find in specs. Like the fact that millions of people are using the same product as you, which means you can get a lot of help in forums like this -- more help than with the company's own hotline. And the fact that hundreds of third-party companies are creating every kind of accessory you can think of for iPods, from Gucci cases to specialized speakers to helpful hackware.

It's nice, but it's ...not an ipod killer. You'd think we'd seen enough "ipod killers" by now to realize it's not going to happen.

Mmmm. Don't get complacent - nothing is forever. Especially in the hyperfast consumer technology market.
