One, maybe two, things they have in common are that they almost always talk about the look of the ipod and the high cost of the ipod. It's like the stupid audiophiles, it doesn't matter how the music sounds, its about the design of the unit and the 'flavor' of the music.
It's simple enough that even my non-techie friends have figured how to use 90% of the functionality within 5 minutes. That's impressive design.
No, that's a lack of functionality. There are a lot of idiots out there. If they can work something in 5 minutes, it's not a particularly clever device.

Someone needs to tell Mr. Blaupunkt that having it mounted in a car isn't the same thing...
sony = atrac = no flexibility = crap
therefore, wheres the competition if they keep pushing their crappy codec?
You insert the knife at Steve Jobs' rectum and briskly tug it up, until it reaches his shiteating grin...
Uhhhhh poor you, someone spoiled your little rant and you still dont have the good grace to admit your a cunt.
Yup, that's a reliable source right there. A test with 18 subjects. WOW, that just blows away a decade of professional studio use of ATRAC equipment used to record the music you rip to MP3!
