I found the links to be interesting as well!
I had never heard of aimfight.com, or the lady who turns pets into pillows. Also interesting that Boeing adding wi-fi was news at that time, something taken for granted on flights in 2020.
More comments from ^ iphone link:
"I would be much more excited about an Apple-branding smartphone with iPod level storage capacity. This is neat, but doesn't appeal to me."
"lol, i think that the target demographic are the crazy consumer who since the Ipod have been running rampant buying up any and all things related to "i" or "pod". just look at the naming of podcast or the iscreen and u can see that a lot of ppl are hopping on the i bandwagon. they probably just see a way to make some moneys with their iphone. altho, i must say if the phone looks like the 1 in that picture, thats kinda cool."
- SPascareli13 6y agoWait, podcast is named after iPod?
- Macha 6y agoYes - a rival mp3 player producer pioneered the idea of episodic audio content that was automatically downloaded to the device to listen to on the go. But then they went bankrupt, and other developers implemented it for the iPod, which was the most popular device and that's the medium on which they caught on first, hence the name. Especially helped when Apple added actual support for iTunes. Also why the iTunes directory is the defacto podcast directory used by most independent podcast applications.
- ironmagma 6y agoUsed to be the idea was you subscribed to a podcast, and that meant your computer would download the files and then when you synced your iPod next, it would have the latest episodes, since iPods didn’t have WiFi back then.
