small size, big price

„If the point was to compete with the flash MP3 players (and according to his comments during the keynote, that was exactly the point) then why price the thing so much higher? If you offer iPod quality and a much bigger capacity (4 gig rather than 256 meg) but at a similar price point, you wipe the floor with your competition. And you stand strong even after your competition comes out with 4 gig models of their own (which sounds like it'll happen soon).“

„Tim Lauer has an interesting tidbit on his site about Apple's new app Garageband , and how this new application exemplifies Apple's approach to computing. Apple hardware/software lets technologists "jam" with their IT solutions at work--it lets us come up with more creative solutions that just work better for our users.“http://www.splitfocus.org/archives/ cat_technology.html#000474 - Cached

„I'm working on another trick right now to try and smooth out the honeycomb stitch, because that's the slowest pattern in the sweater right now. It's all 1X1 cabling and it takes for frigging ever.

„But the neumos staff were laden with rules, there was unfinished scrap wood on stands for a bar, a hundred foot tall man wedged his body between patrickt and I and remained lodged there for the better part of an hour, an extremely greasy man with mommy coddled hair asked me if my copy of Breakfast of Champions was the Holy Bible, an MC tried to make me say'Yeah', then he tried to make me say'Hell Yeah' several times. He was relentless in his request for me to say'Yeah' and'Hell Yeah'. Listen buster, I didn't come here to entertain you.“http://www.noematic.org/implode/archives/ 2004_02.html - Cached
„Flash MP3 players may not be cool enough for Steve Jobs, but for those of us on a budget they are a great way to carry a tune or two.“http://www.stargeek.com/item/73800.html - Cached
„Sony has lost the edge in digital music players and is way behind in the release of their service, Connect, which analysts didn't like much. The company is also being labeled as being too big and unfocused as they are losing leads in other product categories such as flat panel TVs. The company has lost $100 billion in market value and is struggling in the digital age.“http://www.dsounds.com/archives/ cat_hardware.html - Cached
„The iPod mini is a slick product, but it seems more likely to eat into Apple's own low-end iPod sales than to compete with high-end flash memory mp3 players.“http://www.kottke.org/remainder/04/01/4935.html - Cached
„The high end flash players are $199 and the iPod mini is $249. It does have 16x more storage than the Rios and is much cooler looking and it has the iPod software, but like i said, cough up $50 more bucks and get the full thing. There was much speculation about these babies prior to the keynote and most people were hoping for something under $200 or even $150.“http://brokengoalie.typepad.com/eyv/2004/01/ macworld_keynot.html - Cached

„Wrapup: the updated Xserve and Xserve raid were sorely needed and should be very popular for that market, the updated iLife suite is sweet and should have a lot of people drooling, and the biggest news on the iPod mini will be the price — no matter how happy people are about having the smaller player available, and no matter how cool it is, too many people were hoping for the $100 price point. At this point, the 15Gb full-size iPod is only $50 more than the 4Gb iPod mini…is this really going to go over well? Only time will tell, I suppose, but I have to say that I'm fairly skeptical.“http://www.michaelhanscom.com/eclecticism/2004/01/ macworld_sf_200.html - Cached

„I mean come on, with this price and capacity difference between the mini and the standard 15GB iPod who in their right mind would buy a mini? You're really much better off buying a standard iPod for the price and even the size factor is not really in Apple's favour. Also the mini is not a flash player, it uses a disk so there is some skipping potential there.“http://nowhereland.nunonunes.org/archives/ 000475.html - Cached
