You're comparing the iPad with the Nomad? A curious analogy.
EDIT: I do know about the old Slashdot meme. I just think the situation is drastically different here, hence "A curious analogy".
- DigitalJack 14y agoIt's an old slashdot reference. When the iPod was announced (the first one), that is what CmdrTaco said. CmdrTaco being the founder of slashdot.
- freehunter 14y agoGoogle that quote. It's from a comment on Slashdot a decade ago predicting the swift death of the iPod.
- prodigal_erik 14y agoDid he ever claim it would die? http://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-ipod http://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-ip... just called it lame, which it was, not that people wouldn't buy it anyway.
- freehunter 14y agoMaybe swift death was an overstatement. He certainly wasn't a believer though.
- rblatz 14y agoIt's a slashdot meme. When the iPod was announced CmdrTaco said that, it stands as a classic example of tech geeks' tendency to focus on the details (specs, price, etc.) while missing the bigger picture. In that case superior design beats out a spec check sheet. http://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-ipod http://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-ip...
