      • <vito> were all the bloggers down on the ipod when it first came out?
        <vito> or did we not have blogs back then
        <vito> I remember Slashdot being down on it
        <luser> don't recall, you're right about slashdot being down on it
        <luser> "iPoop... iCry. I was so hoping for something more."
        <luser> "Great just what the world needs, another freaking MP3 player. Go Steve! Where's the Newton?!"
        <vito> BusinessWeek called the Kindle the iPod of books and I think everyone's forgetting that the original iPod was kinda assy, and the current rev, several years later, is orgasmic or whatever. I think the Kindle is the first-gen iPod of ebooks. It'll jumpstart the market just like the original iPod did.
        <vito> Everyone's comparing iPod of books to the current rev, which is dumb.
        <luser> "hey - heres an idea Apple - rather than enter the world of gimmicks and toys, why dont you spend a little more time sorting out your pathetically expensive and crap server line up? or are you really aiming to become a glorified consumer gimmicks firm?"
        <vito> haha
        <luser> way to be prescient, albeit completely wrong
        <luser> "$400 for an Mp3 Player! I'd call it the Cube 2.0 as it wont sell, and be killed off in a short time...and it's not really functional."
        <luser> "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."
        <luser> One of the "Top Five Worst Tech Gifts to get for Christmas in 2001" - TechTarget
        <vito> the original ipod?
        <luser> apparently
        <vito> that's classic
        <luser> so yeah, i think you're right
        <luser> people forget that it took some time for the ipod to take off
        <luser> they didn't break 5M units sold in a quarter till like 4 years later
        <luser> yeah
        <luser> ok, like 3 years i guess
        <luser> first data point is Q1 2002
        <luser> but they don't break 10M total sales till Q1 2005
        <luser> then they sell like 80 million in the next 2 years
        <luser> also i don't know that kindle will necessarily be the next ipod
        <luser> but it's certainly too early to write it off based on the first model
        <luser> especially since i'm sure amazon has lots of money to continue development
        <vito> well, I think the whole sony reader is a portable book, kindle is a portable bookstore thing is important. I don't think Sony is going to make an ebook walkman, and you've got Apple with the wifi music store now.

      • “Cleaning is the primary way I deal with stress, and if you go back and look at the last four years of my life and make a graph of my stress, you can pretty much assume that at any given moment in those four years you could have run your tongue along the floor from the living room through the kitchen into the bedroom and it would have tasted like rainbows.”
