CNET Accuses Apple of Over-Hyping Launch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bring-back-fireside-chats dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A columnist at CNET is questioning whether Apple over-hyped last week's launch. From the article: 'Jobs' announcement of a new leather case for the iPod was especially ridiculous. Like the queen announcing a new toaster in Buckingham Palace. It seemed odd that Jobs was troubling himself to introduce fashion accessories to Apple's products.' Is Apple a victim of its own success? Can it hold a low-profile product launch anymore -- or do we inevitably expect too much?"

    Unbelievable. You didn't even spell "post" right. Nor did you get the first post. Simply stunning.

    Well, in a Phillips Coolshave commercial there was a fake razor called the "Quintippio" that had fifteen blades.

    It's spelled correctly. I just didn't punctuate it correctly. Duh.
