My Analysis-Questions
OK, first- SWEET!!!!!!!!!! More/cooler ipods, more itms, more software all equals more customers. Way great. And, black U2 ipod, not a bad deal in the least, as even if I don't want the WHOLE catalog... it's worth a lot more than $50.
Now, the questions (and a few comments):
1. What is new in itunes 4.7?
1a) For those who aren't getting new ipods, what are the new features/functionality? They're had better be SOMETHING.
1b) If it didn't break rhapsody, I'd say tomorrow microsoft would make windows open source. But what else does it break? Gettunes and Ourtunes, anybody know?
2. Man, I love the additions to itms, even though I'm (gulp) an american. (hopefully I can say that with a much smaller gulp in a week!!!!). But, no Japan and Canada! Those are no brainers?
3. Also concerning itms additions: is the .99 euro price increasing or decreasing the price of any of the old european music stores? How do prices compare, now, between US, Britain, rest of europe?
4. GRRR.... a b+w screen, 60 gig ipod would naturally have fit into the line at 499. I understand that the photo will sell (I don't see why, but people buy phones that take pictures that can only look decent on the phone's screen, so...). But please, the ipod is first about music, why should I have to pay an extra hundread dollars for a feature I don't want, (color) before I can then spend another hundread for what I do (size)? Hopefully next gen. will have a larger size ipod without photo, instead of adding photo to lower sizes.
