Zune was a good idea in a saturated market. Frankly, with the advent of Pandora and the smart phone, even the iPod’s days are numbered.

This was a good idea?

Excrement brown with vomit green highlights, mmmm, tasty.

If it wasn't for spots where I can't get a data connection I'd have no reason to ever use my Ipod anymore.

” even the iPod’s days are numbered.”

How right you are: that number may be 0.

Indications are Apple may end the iPod proper (the Classic line) today. The Nano and Shuffle will continue, as cheap small-capacity accessories. The iPod Touch is for most practical purposes the iPad Nano (and will be if a 3G option is added). But as for the robust, large capacity, dedicated music device, the iPod is just about done.
