Cool, cool. I agree the Ipod is overpriced, but credit Apple for the marketing buzz. It is/was a very unique and awesome piece of hardware, but I think in a few years you will see it's market share disappear as Apple is known for not listening to it's customers. For example the new ipod should be able to play VIDEOs as well as pictures. The ipod flash doesn't come with a screen??? Very disappointing. I believe the mp3 market will deteriorate as mp3 as integrated into phones, pda, Playstation Portable, etc.
I don't know maybe this isn't legit, and the moderators can censor this if they wish, but I frequent vastlane.org, and they clearly demonstrate that anyone who wishes to view nytimes.com articles can use their account of vastlane;vastlane to get in.
