"Even adjusting for inflation, iPod nanos are outselling Theremins by just a tad."
Of course. The Theremin was never a commercial success for RCA at all. Not my point. Communications with customers and potential customers is my point.
Probably easier to do with the volume of mail received on Theremins versus what is received on iPods was mine.
Sure, Apple could've handled it better.
Then again, I don't see the reason for the girl to react as she did. (Sounds to me like the parents are playing it for effect.)
