Okay, so you'd rather have a brown turd than a sophisticated mass-market Apple product just because one protects has a rubberized back? At least the front is made of durable, good ol' Aluminum and those scratches can be literally transformed into 'brush metal' (look) with a simple sponge, believe it or not. I gotta admit though, I was perfectly happy with the all-aluminum design of the former gen. Nanos.

Unless Apple fucks up hard in the near future, the iPod will remain king, just like Microsoft remained king amongst operating system makers for over 9000 years (Vista isn't a bad product overall, but lack of decent drivers and reasons to upgrade from XP might make people turn themselves to Apple... Actually, the only thing that Apple could use is product awareness - my mother didn't even know the iMac was an all-in-one, she thought what was shown was the monitor alone o_O).

It takes a long time for established brands and products to be replaced, the auto industry is a great example of this.

Cellphones... Um, well, I have no use for say, an iPhone, and my cellphone (a Samsung A640) serves 3 purposes, communication when necessary (I'm not under a contract, contracts are horrible financial decisions the majority of the time, my parents took three phones and a family plan which we almost never used and paid above a 100 bucks per month, which is extremely ridiculous given our usage, go figure why they're giving the phones away for free), being a camera when I don't have my digital camera in hand, or being my watch (guarantees accurate time, too). So I'm rarely using it unless I have an emergency or need to communicate with my family or friends, I put about 8 bucks on it each month / a $100 card per year, which is the minimum I can add to it, and it's all I need. The thing that annoys me the most is them spoiled girls with their over-personalized cellphones who feel like they need to say hi to their friends every 6 minutes... As for kids... Well, I don't know, it can serve a purpose every now and then, but yeah...


FUCK
