I hope creative goes out of business with all their sniveling and whining.

i assure you they won't -- they build very nice players, and when supply catches up w/ demand, apple will be faced with *MUCH* lower priced competition, not just somewhat lower priced competition.

the loser will be apple, the winner, well, we will be the winner because we are free to choose which product we prefer (whether apple or creative or sony or jian liang) without the effects of an artificially induced shortage.
