So having fewer software choices (which I don't agree with) is worse than having hundreds of choices that may or may not be compatible with OS updates???
Interesting.
Wow, Lazy IT folk huh? Somebody is spending too much time in the personel department and not enough time in the server room. Have you grokked your SYSADMIN today? Apperently not.
If you read the post it has to do with application compatibility. Buying hundreds of software licenses for a company is an expensive endeavour, then to have an update come along and render your software null and void would be a waste.
Somebody didn't see the full length Transformers:The Movie with Orson Wells as Unicron. Although it was rated PG in 1987 I bet it would pull a PG 13 rating if released tomorrow.
Besides, Transformers was a comic book before a hit cartoon. According to IGN Film Force Spielberg himself will be producing it and he seems to be a fan of the original comic book series. http://filmforce.ign.com/transformers/
Hey, if that is your thing, be my guest. Nomad has a history of weak products with poor interface and design, I've personally taken back a flash mp3 player twice (MoVo, yuck). And the Rio Karma? That is a hunk of plastic, it feels a lot like a 3rd party N64 controller (those of you who had to play Golden Eye with one of those can relate). I'm not saying that all plastic models are bad, I just don't see them competing with the iPod Mini, but who knows. February is a month away and only time will tell.
I just had to laugh at your comment. I would love an iPod Mini, as would my girlfriend. We both love Apple products but have never had a need for a MP3 player that holds 10,000 songs. This is right up our alley and it is made buy a company that puts quality in their work. Sure you could buy a Dell Jukebox or a Rio, but have you felt how shoddy those things are in your hands? I say bravo to Apple for yet again putting style, functionality and quality before cutting corners on price.

Why aren't we all using Macs in the first place?

Amen!
Did you not here Jobs at the Keynote? It came with (as will all the new Xserve Raids ) an unlimited License- It isn't Microsoft after all.
