The Slashdot Crystal Ball

08.18.05 | Comment?

Ah, slashdot

The BrownFury writes “At an invitation only event Apple has released their new MP3 player called the iPod. iPod is the size of a deck of cards. 2.4″ wide by 4″ tall by .78″ thick 6.5 ounces. 5 GB HDD, 10 hr battery life, charged via FireWire. Works as a firewire drive as well. Works in conjunctions with iTunes 2. Here are Live updates”. No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

One of the funniest bits is questioning how anyone could possibly spend $400 on a portable electronics device; I wonder how many people on Slashdot spent that much on their Palms and Windows CE devices, or on cool cell phones, etc what have you.

The moral; don’t trust the “experts” in deciding what you should or should not do.

Thanks for pointing me to Technovia, TUAW
