XPlay: iPod with Windows

Posted by jamie on from the cats-and-dogs-sleeping-together dept.

meanie writes "Mediafour, a company which specializes in cross-platform software introduced the XPlay software to link up your iPod with Windows. Looks like a solid product, but since I didn't buy an iPod due to lack of a Mac, I haven't been able to check out the software. Anyone try this yet? I might just buy an iPod now."

    What does the fanaticism of Apple users have anything to do with the rest of the world wanting to switch to Mac?

    People *do* want to switch to Mac, that's not the hard part.

    The hard part is that it's more expensive to own a Mac than it is to own a PC.

    iPods *have* been selling Macs.

    People go in to look at the iPod and see a Mac. People see a Mac and think, "Wow!"

    Macs really are all that, except that you pay more (about, what, 20% more?) for less performance.

    But if you aren't a gamer, you won't notice the loss of performance.

    And if you're into scientific or engineering fields, the OS X Unixy goodness makes up for the loss of performance. Besides which you'd just ssh into your big iron anyway.
