Treó 10: Another Portable Mass Storage Device

Posted by michael on from the stocking-stuffer dept.

mblase writes: ""The Treó 10 is a lightweight, pocket-sized, digital music jukebox with the capacity to store over 3,000 songs - that's 150 hours of music." It's got twice the hard-drive space of Apple's iPod, but also half the RAM, half the battery life, and uses a much slower USB connection instead of FireWire. However, it's PC-compatible using MusicMatch Jukebox right out of the box, and costs only $250 instead of $400 for the iPod. CNet's article compares the two further."

    Sony has a laptop they call the "Vaio." It uses currently available technology in order to create a laptop. Its better than other ones, but more expensive.

    Nike makes shoes. They're better than others, but more expensive.

    McDonalds makes hamburgers. They taste good, but the ones from Steak & Shake taste better. However, they are more expensive.

    In a thriving industry with hundreds of products which have only a few distinguishing features, why is it worth mentioning one more?

    Perhaps this breaks some ground that I'm not aware of. If anyone has any insight, enlighten me.
