      im my opionion, the classic ipod is better because is more resistent that the ipod tuch or which ever other. because the ipod touch is touch screen, i personally think they could get damaged easier
  • That's not bad, but it's peanuts compared to the 54 million iPods Apple sold last year.
  • And that's 16,000 songs if you don't fill it up with anything else. The iPod Touch's memory is typically crammed with apps and high definition video, which aren't exactly small files.
  • It wasn't until the January 2004 debut of the more affordable iPod Mini that iPod sales really took off. In 2002, the iPod's first full year of availability, Apple sold 381,000 units.
  • Apple's decision to completely ignore the iPod Classic means that 2010 will be the first year in the iPod's nine-year history in which the Classic doesn't get even a slight upgrade.

  • The company likes to push its customers to stay on technology's cutting edge -- and sometimes, its innovations take it a step too far.
  • Apple has a reputation of being arrogant
  • Apple did away with the buttons, replacing them with a confusing control pad on the headphones and sparking a backlash. But to Apple's credit, it listened to its customers' complaints about the switch: Jobs noted this week that people "clearly liked the buttons," and Apple put the controls back on the actual device in the fourth-generation version that will go on sale later this month
  • Would Apple kill off a device that still has a cult following? Maybe. The company likes to push its customers to stay on technology's cutting edge -- and sometimes, its innovations take it a step too far.

      As I have seen, Apple eliminates some devices in order to keep people on the edge. For example now in days people who used to have the original Nano ipod know that they dont work as before and they dont sell them anymore in the stores. Apple as they say like to push their cutomers on the edge of technology and up to date.
