iPod Becoming Uncool?

2006-09-11T20:54:36Z

According to an article in the U.K.'s fine newspaper, The Guardian, mainstream adoption of Apple's iPod is making it less cool. (Really?)

This is from industry analysts who speculate the music player has peaked in popularity.

Adding to the iPod's apparent "trouble" are mobile phones with music players. (If only they got it right ...)

Now industry analysts are noted for predicting the future, which in the land of gadgets is very hard; seems their crystal balls sometimes need to be cleaned (or maybe they just get fogged up a bit).

Think they've got it right this time?

What do you mean becoming uncool? It has been uncool for a while now and I should know cause I'm a hip guy.

The iPod is not cool, nor is it cool. Its a device for storing and listening to music. If you want to listen to music on the go then buy an iPod.

It may not be cool to own one as far as the common Chav (scally) is concerned because beating up a school kid for his iPod doesnt get him 10,000 tunes in his pocket. For that, the common Chav needs a computer and some knowledge of how to use one.

Simplement.
