Even though it will be a iPod Touch competitor, I suspect that it will have little impact on the market, simply because there are too many wannabe snobs won over by the relentless marketing jihad of the iPhone and the simple fact that it *is* late to the party. That said, it's on my Christmas list. No slam on the iPhone/Touch itself at all, they're good devices, but the effect of the iDrones boorishly recoiling at the mention of a Zune or any other non-'i' device is comical. My hat's off to Apple; they managed to convince a sizable group of people that they're special because of the phone they use. I maintain that within 5 years, the iPhone will be a bit player in the mobile device market. Way too much competition coming down the pike. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
