Did Apple get that extra .12 cubic inches out by leaving out the FM radio, FM Recording Voice recording, equalizer, and file navigation system that MobiBLU has? Yep, it's the worlds smallest stripped-feature digital music player. ;-)
By the way, I just ordered the new 4 GB iPod Nano in the blue metallic case. I should pick it up at the Apple Store in Sacramento, CA probably later today.
Yes. They also left out the video camera, the GPS system, the PDA functions, a keyboard, mouse, and the kitchen sink.
Leroy, if people want those features, they can buy your MobiBLU... most people do not.
Into what pocket do you comfortably carry a ~1" cube?
I suppose that depends on how tight your tights are. Right off hand I can't think of any pocket I couldn't.
Leroy, if people want those features, they can buy your MobiBLU... most people do not.
If most people don't want to actually SELECT the song they want to play, why do most people buy MP3 players that can do that? Is random play the future of this category? I hope not.
I just bought one for my family's chinese gift exchange. It was too affordable and just too nifty to pass up. This is my first Apple purchase EVER.
Will there be more????
Your iPod will insert sublimiinal messages under the music, saying "Buy more Apple products", "Get on Swordmaker's Apple ping list", and "Steve Balmer is a shaved ape", etc., etc.
(OK, that last one won't be subliminally coming from the iPod - it will just be the voices of the public in general. But since you'll be wearing your iPod headphones most of the time, it will be almost exactly like a subliminal message.)
Soon you'll be like the rest of us Apple cultists, doing the cost/benefit analysis of the color black, debating the merits of an all-carrot diet, so forth and so on.
Welcome to the cult! Seriously.
