The Nearly Perfect iPod
David on 2004/03/26:
„I owned portable MP3 players before the iPod, but I compare getting the iPod to the day in 1996 when I discarded my Casio Boss PDA for Palm Computing's Pilot 1000. In fact, the iPod is similar to the Palm: smooth integration with the PC was a key enabling innovation for both devices.“

Napsterization: What it's meant to do
Mary Hodder on 2004/01/13:
„That could lead to either massive piracy--the Napsterization of Hollywood--or, with the right copy protection, supplant DVDs as Hollywood's richest revenue stream. Better video codecs also open the door to portable video players, much the way MP3 led to iPods and the like.“

Christmas Gizmo #2364
damian on 2003/12/24:
„I've delved into portable mp3 players and have one in my car, but the thing that's always bothered me (besides the limitations of the mp3 format) was that when I got a new car (eventually) I'd have to kiss goodbye to a convenient in-car mp3 player and that more than likely there would be no auxilliary input for my portable mp3 player in the new car.“

I hate the Beatles
Tom on 2003/12/02:
„I grant you that a portion of the downloaders are crooks who just want free stuff, but more than that it is a population that is increasingly digital. From MP3 players to Tivos, the downloaders want their music portable, transferrable, and digital. The RIAA member bands have been slower than a DMV line at offering this service that the market obviously is demanding. People searched elsewhere for it.“

Teens want phones for Xmas
atmasphere on 2003/11/06:
„As expected, the results reflect how teens are actively embracing a wide array of technology and that they recognize technology influences almost all aspects of their lives." In addition, the survey shows that teens plan to purchase portable CD players as a gift to others (49%) this holiday season. Other products targeted for gift giving include game consoles (35%), cell phones (30%), hand-held game systems (28%) and portable MP3 players (27%). Just over half of the teens surveyed (51%) said they were planning to pay for all or most of the gifts with their own money.[Cellular News via textually.org]...“

Digital Living on the move
yme_bosma on 2003/09/04:
„"Sales of digital audio players are surging. According to market researcher Gfk, the market for MP3 players in Europe has grown 200 per cent in the last six months." As long as there's no broadband internet access everywhere (wired or wireless) there will be a need for portable storage of entertainment content. Today it's primarily audio, but the possibilities for video are increasing as well. These portable storage device typically use a headset and display as interface, but more and more they will also source other HiFi devices like the car-stereo, a friend's HiFi system or the living room TV....“

Bug Sex, Buggy Car, and Frog Poo
batgrl on 2003/06/03:
„I finally have one of those "things" (adapter, whatever, the word escapes me, early senility, etc. etc.) that allows you to hook up cd/mp3 players to a car stereo, so I can listen to my little portable players now when I make my big trek(s) to San Diego. Also I am about to try the infamous (on late night infomercials anyhow) space bags - you know, the things that you can vaccum all the air out of and they compact clothes and blankets and pillows into tiny amounts of space? I bought two to see if they'll work.“

Best Portable MP3 Player?
rodd on 2003/02/07:
„David Coursey, editor at ZDNET , is reporting that the best portable MP3 player for an adult is a boring multitasking device like the IPAQ or the Sony Clie. He seems to think that portable mp3 players that don't function as PDAs are for children. WRONG!“
