And look at this latest Windows innovation!!!!
It will probably go the way of that Dock impersonator, but get it while you can.

I don't understand your point -- is it that the Windows API is obviously more flexible than you give it credit for, or is it that the much-heralded "features" of OS X are available on Windows as well?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Hp's Ipod. Big deal. Hp is a follower simply making sure Dell doesn't take the market. Hp apparently was flat footed and needed a product thus the marriage between Apple and Hp.
As the battle unfolds you can be guaranteed Hp will be placing pressure on Apple to lower the stinkin price.

Expose lifted things that Windows has had for years (minimize all, restore all), and added a feature that shrinks all Windows so you can click on them.
That's somewhat nifty, but it's not nearly as useful in the Windows world. Windows users have the benefit of a taskbar with textual labels explaining the title of each Window, something that Apple has yet to do. That made Expose rather necessary on their platform, I don't know how long they did with it. It's still rather useless eyecandy in the face of the titles-on-the-taskbar system on Windows."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Yup. HP and Dell are both going gung-ho on the "consumer electronics" market. Dell went to Creative and licensed the Nomad technology, and gave birth to the Dell Digital Jukebox.Originally posted by Ogie Oglethorpe

HP was caught by surprise, and Apple was more than willing to make them iPods they could rebrand since it would expand the userbase for iTunes purchases...
At least Dell changed the design somewhat, rather than being literally the same thing.
This move speaks volumes about HP's stupidity and how desperate they are, the people who seem to think HP chose Apple because it's better are somewhat naive and don't understand the market very well."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Dell won't take the market. The ipod absolutely owns the HD player market. The rest combined only account for 19% of the market. As for selling downloads, the iTMS has a 70% market share.Originally posted by Ogie Oglethorpe

HP is just running with the winner. They'll make money and won't have to do much.
I certainly hope they do. The latest rumour is that a 2 Gig ipod is next. That will probably retail for about 200 bucks. The HD for these came out the other day.As the battle unfolds you can be guaranteed Hp will be placing pressure on Apple to lower the stinkin price.
Expect a price reduction of 50 bucks on all models after the initial buying rush. Once the HDs get cheaper it shouldn't be long.Only feebs vote.Comment

NPD Techworld reports that Apple is No. 5 in the MP3 player market in January 2003 with 6.1% of unit sales, behind RIO (18.8%), RCA (12.7%), Samsung (7.8%), and Creative Labs (6.9%), respectively.HP was caught unprepared by Dell's move, and Apple was the only company willing to let them use their design wholesale. Creative's already got a contract with Dell.HP is just running with the winner. They'll make money and won't have to do much.
That's bull****, and would be stupid of Apple to do. You can get a 1.5GB Flash-based player (solid state, no moving parts) for the same price right now. Siginificantly smaller than even the iPod Minis.I certainly hope they do. The latest rumour is that a 2 Gig ipod is next. That will probably retail for about 200 bucks. The HD for these came out the other day.
Nonsense, Apple's never done this before so I'd doubt they would now. And from the reaction I've heard, there won't be a buying rush for a $249 4GB player in gay colors.Expect a price reduction of 50 bucks on all models after the initial buying rush. Once the HDs get cheaper it shouldn't be long.

Dell just started in October 2003 with their portable. There was no chance of penetrating the market that fast. This year's figures might tell a better story.Originally posted by Agathon

For their sake, they'd better. HP's been losing terrain on both the consumer and corporate market.

Apple 2 GB player: US$200
Dell 15 GB player: US$224
Tough choice

Can somebody ask Agathon for links to these statistics he's pulling out of his oversized ass?
If you ask me, BTW, I think the new iPod Minis look far worse than the Dell DJs. And I don't think the software can such as much as iTunes...
