You can do so much better than an iPod at such a better price.

[Revolting cat!]

The insiders I know, whose info has always checked out, tell me in strict confidence that the next iPod model will have a keyboard, a 17'' screen, willrun Apple's version of Linux, and will be smaller than the current iPod nano.

" It tumbled another 4% in after-hours trading following the report."

Didn't "outperform" enough.

[cmsgop]

Yes it did, and if you look at AAPL History it the stock always fall on good news. Apple got picked on today for a delay in the pipeline for the intel machines. This stock has brought me happiness since 98.

Can you see your post now, lol?

Who the hell wants an MP3 player built into their cellphone? Last thing I want to have happen is to have a phone call come through my earphones when I'm halfway through a Beethoven symphony or even George Thorogood's greatest hits for that matter.

[BunnySlippers]

Happens often.

OMG, Apple fell to a price they were selling at on 1/09 - ahhraugh, sell everything! Save the children, the sky is falling!

[BunnySlippers]

Hmmm ... well, I'll just say I love Macs.
GREAT machines!

[A CA Guy]

Yep, though I'm sure some clones will happen by soon for a quarter of the price.

[BunnySlippers]

Well, one of the biggie analysts came in with a price target in excess of $100. I have no doubt we'll see it. ;-)

iPod is about content. Will they be able to provide the large array of offerings that Apple is?

[cmsgop]

That they are, I have a Bondi-Blue 233, a 400 DV, and a G-5 iMac at home,and for my business I have a G-4 iMac. I have never had a PC in my life, although I do want one for fun :*)

[BunnySlippers]

:-D

I have 5 ... never had a PC either!

Do me a favor and send me up a Tommy's Burger,God I miss those.........

[BunnySlippers]

In-n-Out Rulz!

The iPod is neat but:

1. If you're a PC user you have to learn how to use iTunes, a fairly complicated and finicky piece of software, just to copy music to the iPod.

2. Apple should offer a separate battery charger for their newest iPod models at extremely low cost--a lot of people don't want to hog a USB port just to charge the unit.

I DEMAND Congressional hearings immediately on these obscene profits!

I have a Creative Zen Touch, 40 Gb. Paid $250 for it and so far have 725 full CDs loaded on it (almost 8,000 tracks) in high-quality WMA, with 76% space used, so plenty of room for more. I have another 100 or so CDs around the house somewhere to get to. My entire collection in one box, with better sound quality than the iCult provides, at a lower price, with a battery that'll last 20 or more hours.

For the life of me, I can't understand why someone would pay upwards of $200 for something that only holds 20-30 albums. Unless they're making some kind of weird gay fashion-slave statement, I suppose.

Man, I could go for 6 or 8 of those, too. It's been almost 30 years . . . . . .

I'd probably even get chili on one or two for old time's sake.
