- X-Istence 16y agoMy friend has an iPod and on more than one occasion people have come up to him and asked him if that was a skin for an iPod. Personally, I consider that a failure. Even in the poop brown colour people still assume it is an iPod.
- jacobolus 16y agoMicrosoft hyped it (like so many such devices) as an “iPod killer”, and dumped massive advertising at it. It has 2 or 3% market share, is perhaps nominally profitable but barely makes a dent in Microsoft’s bottom line, is only available in the USA, and is mainly known to the public as a joke punchline. I don’t see how that can be called success.
