  „Jobs spoke of the 30% of the MP3 player market that is "high-end flash players." Apple will own this market in 6-12 months.“

My take on Apple's iPod mini

  „Calling the iPod Mini a near-perfect MP3 player, Eliot Van Buskirk writes, “The iPod brand has become synonymous with excellent portable audio players, and the 4GB Apple iPod Mini carries on the tradition with its fashionable, intelligent design. Its hard drive holds about 74 hours’ worth of music and shares the same impressive graphical interface and sound specs as its larger sibling, the white iPod. Meanwhile, the earlier device’s strongest design point — the scrollwheel — has been improved to help you navigate menus and music with even greater one-handed ease.” [Feb 16]“

Mossberg on Apple's iPod Mini

  „After two years of market dominance, Apple's iPod is finally getting "a run for its money," according to Wall Street Journal columnist Wall Mossberg. Mossberg's latest Personal Tech column, entitled Attack of the iPod Clones , discusses the burgeoning threat of Apple's MP3 player market competitors. Though mainly of interest to Windows users -- as two of the devices Mossberg mentions are, for now, for Windows only -- it's worth comparing how Apple's own offering shores up against some big names in the high-capacity MP3 player space.“

Hype and backlash on the iPod mini

  „First, they could bring out a lower-end mini that maintains their margins, but holds 2 gigs, or 1 gig, or even 340 megs, the original size of the microdrives. Second, they could adjust their prices down on either the mini, or the full line of iPods, but right now, that just doesn't make sense. Finally, since the standard interface for the microdrive is through a CF slot, I have to think it would be simple for Apple to swap the microdrive for flash memory, if the market were to demand it.“

Lessig v. Winer

  „Even if they did all have'blogs, it wouldn't signify a greater likelihood that they would come around to the consensus net position that Fair Use Is Protected Use or that Copyright Shouldn't be Forever. I'm sure they all use the same word processors we use, too, but that doesn't make them agree with "us".“

Apple Fanatics

  „As for the iPod Mini, I have to admit that I thought that Apple would come out with a flash memory based unit that mimicked its big brother's capabilities at a cost of something more like 100-150 bucks.“
