Not the worst idea in the world. Perhaps Apple could install that function on the iPod and give a large " creators fee" the little girl

>Still, the P.R. person could have seen this letter as an opportunity instead of a threat
Back in the old days,
when my third analog board
fried inside my Mac,
I sent a letter
suggesting they make machines
that do not burn up.
They didn't send me
anything in reply . . . But
that's the business world . . .

Instead of a polite response from Jobs, the girl received a cold, stern letter from Apple's legal counsel telling her that the company didn't accept unsolicited ideas and that she should not send any suggestions to the company. LOL. Awesome.

I wonder how Bill Gates would have reacted to such a letter? Probably the same way would be my guess.

Although it was a tough way to tell this to a nine-year old, this is a reasonable policy for the company. What if Apple had already been working on a version of the iPod which displays lyrics also. Would this girl or her family expect payment for the suggestion? Even if Apple could prove they had worked on it before, that might mean that courts would have to get involved along with expensive lawyers.
Because of these problems, many large companies refuse unsolicited product suggestions and are very careful not to allow the people coming up with new ideas risk seeing unsolicited ideas. If the company is going through some meeting with potential customers to discuss product ideas, they are paid for their time and have to sign something that releases all ideas coming from their meeting solely for that payment.

"And in other news, Apple releases a new Nano today which will intoduce the revolutionary concept, straight from the mega-brain of Steve Jobs, of showing the lyrics of the songs so you can sing along."

I wonder how Bill Gates would have reacted to such a letter?What makes you think that Steve Jobs actually saw the letter? The response was from an idiot lawyer. I doubt either Gates' or Jobs' response would have been anything like what happened.

The silver lining is that this little girl just got more of an education about the business world than most MBAs get.

Apple should promote the lawyer, he or she appears to capable.

No where does it say that the reader of the letter knew that it was coming from a 9 year old. Slow news day I guess. Maybe the RIAA can stop over and check the status of all the tunes on her nano. LOL That would make her and her parents cry and slam doors!
to be, I mean.

Life is not fair.
Disappointments happen.
This little girl needs to realize this because it will happen again down the road.
Kids are pampered too much.
