My Palm LifeDrive has a 4Gb HD, plays videos on a screen 4 times the size of the iPod, plays music at a higher bit rate than the iPod, handles my contacts, diary, digital pictures, email and web access when I'm on the move, handles MS Office documents and even plays games... and it costs less than the one-trick-pony iPod

Marketing over substance wins yet again.



The difference here is that Apple is again trying to create a new business model. Look behind the box - the "iPod video" is not about hardware at all. Paid music downloads never worked before iTunes; now they plan doing the same to video downloads. You will find a lot of substance here, if you just look a little closer.
