But would a Nomad it in your pocket? I have never seen a Nomad IRL, the pictures on wikipedia make it look like the size of a CD player, not something that would fit in my pocket.
- scarface_74 3y agoI can’t blame you for not getting the reference. It is over 20 years old now. https://m.slashdot.org/story/21026 https://m.slashdot.org/story/21026
- 1-more 3y agoYeah the key differentiator was that the other hard disk MP3 players up to that point used 2.5" laptop harddrives and removable AA batteries and fit in a cargo pocket. The iPod used a 1.8" harddrive and a slim built-in rechargeable battery and fit in a jeans pocket (it was pretty huge for a shirt pocket but could fit in there if you didn't care about it ruining your lines). The term "laptop harddrives" of course confuses the issue: the Macbook Air first shipped with a 1.8" harddrive before it changed to flash storage.
