It is so amusing how magazines for the more “mature” set (not that there’s anything wrong with being mature) don’t seem to get things like, BusinessWeek doesn’t get it in the article iPod Killers?.

The seem to think that Sony’s new walkman phone (which doesn’t even have bluetooth or sizable memory) is competition for the iPod, which does one thing really really well.

It only seems like BusinessWeek is running out of news if this is the best they can do for the cover of their international edition. People like me are very content having a great music player that is separate from a decent phone (and there is no great phone because the carriers hobble them so much) as opposed to having a mediocre both.

It’s about the music, get it?





I just got my Griffin Technology AirClick, and it rocks. It allows you to use a small RF remote to control your iPod. It sort of makes AirTunes irrelevant, because you can manage your iPod from anywhere in your house, pumping out tunes, without hogging all of your powerbook’s cpu cycles (leave it to Microsoft Office to do that…but I digress) and wireless bandwidth.

If the iPod changed my life once, this changed it again. I think.
