Lol. I think this is a rather inaccurate and general
statement. There are several users on this list, including myself,
who have bought it, and beyond the accessibility features, they are
flying off the shelves faster than they can be stocked, as occurs with
any new iPod release.
Overall, I certainly think this device has its place and is a
great option for those who own the Classics. If you are willing to
spend the money, it, from what I've heard, will work well enough to
get you by. Having used Rockbox for a number of years, I think
Apple's inplimentation of speech on the Nano is done extremely well
and eliminates a few steps in enabling the player to have speech. In
the long term, all indications are that the hard disk iPods will be
phased out and the Flash players with bigger memory will take their
places. This, though, probably won't happen for a year or two, and
there will still be those who own the Classics, as I still have my old
Archoes JB20 from Six plus years ago. Thus, I think the info
originally posted by Dave was quite useful and helpful to list members.
Take Care
