I don't think the 10 seconds that the HDD runs when caching songs on the iPod sucks down the batteries as you think it does.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11767634 Wed, 03 Nov 2004 17:40:25 EDT Re: They're already making "a bit" of money ... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11670836 joetaxpayer :

Some people aren't cut out for Apple products, either.

That's a very simple and obvious fact.
Not sure what you're implying. Do you feel that flash-based is somehow inferior? Or is it that since flash will likely mean a lower end (in terms of capacity) that there's something wrong with that? How is this advance anything less than a quality Apple product? (and would your view change if flash technology suddenly took a leap to where 50GB cost Apple pennies to put in the iPod and lose the HD?)

Okay, a bit more money then :uhh:

Some people want the "ultimate in features" but don't want an HD-based player because they don't own gigabytes worth of music, or they want to use the player during high-impact exercise. Flash-based doesn't necessarily imply disposable.

the weakest link (i.e. a mechanical HD which sucks down batteries) is eliminated. Seems interesting to me that a device that can hold like 2 years worth of music has an 8 hour battery. Give me a week's worth of music, a week's battery charge, and the Apple logo and I'll be happy.

Too right. Some people don't want or need a HD-based player, and if Apple can deliver a flash-based player that has the iPod interface and quality of design, plus seamless integration with iTunes they just might make a bit of money.
They're already making "a bit" of money :uhh:

The iPod simply isn't marketed to those folks that don't want the ultimate in features and capacity. There are "disposable" devices like this out there from Dlink et al.
