Yeah, it should be fun. 
I'm kind of wondering how this will affect the sale of iPods and other standalone MP3 players. If basically anything with an Internet connection and headphones can be a music player now, people aren't going to need to deal with buying 80GB music players. My phone was free with contract, and it'll do just fine as a music player, even if I didn't have a micro-SD card for it. |
Ok you just made me spit out my coffee. that was hilarious
Ipod's and other stand alone mp3 players are quickly turning into two groups. One for the exercise/gym. They will always have their place in that market. and two the audiophile that won't give up the medium.
As smartphones become more and more common and even feature phones offering an mp3 player, I think the days of the iPod touch and other non small player will be regulated to the teenage crowd.
but I do still use my Sansa fuze though when commuting. The one thing holding me out on using my Droid X as my primary player when out and about is battery life. I have my Sansa clip+ for working out etc.
I see the nano (current size) being Apple #1 ipod seller in the coming years
I think the shuffle's days are numbered. Once the nano was cut in half, you can see the writing on the wall
the iPod touch will be more of a teenager product with it being more of a niche market to older people.
