I still use an old-school Sony Walkman CD player for my listening pleasure. I download mp3 files to my hard drive and copy them to a rewritable CD. I can’t help but think how archaic that sounds.
So I might take the plunge and buy one of those extremely cute gadgets on the left. I hesitate, though, because the head-geek-in-charge has issued a warning:
“I don’t think the success of the iPod can continue in the long term, however good Apple may be. I think you can draw parallels here with the computer — here, too, Apple was once extremely strong with its Macintosh and graphic user interface, like with the iPod today, and then lost its position.” (Source)
I once had a crush on the PowerBook, but the price cooled my ardor. Perhaps I shouldn’t become involved with the iPod, which is still relatively expensive. Should I buy a different brand of mp3 player or go with the iPod?
