I was in college and it seemed that the first IPOD was overpriced and just a "cool" thing to buy. There were other MP3 players that were cheaper coming on the market. But I quickly realized the risk is too high if AAPL continues to be popular even if their hardware is overpriced.
- pstuart 5y agoThe famous ipod review by CmdrTaco (creator of Slashdot): > No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
- dylan604 5y agoTrue. True. Opinion. So a fairly accurate review, and the opinion is totally fair. Maybe a bit short sighted now with hindsight and what not, but at least he compared a nomad instead of a zune. That would have caused the review to not age well.
- marvin 5y agoI don't think most people would argue that his review aged well, in spite of getting the direction of gravity right.
- Someone 5y agoThe first Zune was released in November 2006, just over 5 years after the first iPod. So, it wasn’t hard for him to not compare it with a Zune. It also isn’t surprising that that Zune was better than the 2001 Nomad.
- cmdrtaco 5y agoBoo!
