Great thread, it's realy merging this list with the DSP list I am on.
Anyway, If the iToons incoding is not standard MP3 and will not play on
anything but iTunes, then what is the point? I'm certainly not going out and
buying a compleatly seperate device that my slate workes just as well for!
I have one device which is my wallet, IR key, data store-computer, walking
web access, phone, portable game machine, scientific calculator, music
player, gps/map source, etc. Why the frell would I want another device just
for music, epecialy when my slate is actualy smaller? It makes no sense!
Why would I want to have to have to play iTunes downloaded songs seperatly
from other songs in my network? Like I'm going to go to the trouble of
switching apps. What if I download some Bennett from iTunes, and I want to
listen to it along with the latests Murphy which I bought and ripped?
It ammazes me how a company with so much inovation, with such a nack for good
UI and a clear understanding of generating a good user experience can suffer
from 20 years of bad market and marketing decisions and still continue to
make the same mistakes.
I wish I could follow a recent-grad into their first day at apple marketing
or product managment initiation. I can see it now: "wellcome to your first
day hear at Apple. We hope that your carrier here with our marketing and or
product managment departments will be an enjoyable one, now if you could all
form up into a single file line here at the sign reading "Lobatomy", we will
have you on to your first assignment in no time.
