iPod’s Competition.
Australian IT has a dandy little article that gives a run down of iPod history, but more importantly, the competition that the sexy little device has. They don’t overly rave about many of the other music players out there. The Philips Micro Jukebox just doesn’t have the space, the Sony HD1 currently doesn’t play MP3s, but they do hold out hope for one other.
“If there is an iPod killer gathering strength out there, it is the Zen Jukebox series, which includes the 20GB Zen Touch retailing at $499. After all, Creative practically invented computer sound. True, it missed the boat in the first place with the basic idea of the iPod, and it lacks some of the style and almost all the cultural cache, but it makes up for this with lower prices and a much broader product range. Creative recently introduced the Portable Media Centre, for example, which adds video and photos to the portable music equation. We don’t know for sure, but it looks to us like the latest iPod photo, which stores still photos as well as music files, might have been a reaction to this device, surely a sign of a king nervous about his throne.”
The truth is, we just loved the photo.
