Apple releases iPod

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-thats-not-very-exciting dept.

The BrownFury writes "At an invitation only event Apple has released their new MP3 player called the iPod. iPod is the size of a deck of cards. 2.4" wide by 4" tall by .78" thick 6.5 ounces. 5 GB HDD, 10 hr battery life, charged via FireWire. Works as a firewire drive as well. Works in conjunctions with iTunes 2. Here are Live updates". No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

    because it's not impossible. This Mp3 playing thing just sucks. Yes, it runs OS X, but so what? WHAT THE HELL happened to the Newton? That thing was the PDA that could have changed the market completely in Apple's favor. No, Jobs killed it. Instead he releases the Hello Kitty laptop and now this pathetic attempt at an MP3 player. Steve Jobs is an idiot. I want a Newton.

    The only problem is the failure to play ogg files. I no longer have any mp3s, so this isn't as useful as it could be.

    Yeah, I sure don't want to break any patent laws while I'm burning my 5 gigs of copyright violations.
