That is a bit sad. It has irritated me for many years that portable audio players are always described as an 'iPod'. Manufacturer's of headphones and other accessories advertise their products as being 'iPod Compatible'. As if the consumer really needs to know that the Sennheiser buds they are looking at are 'iPod ready'... Steve Job's company - after Twitter and Facebook - probably gets more free advertising than any other business.
