Good Eddie Izzard reference. If Apple can make inroads into China, it'll be big. And many upwardlt mobile Chinese (mainlanders) are very bran conscious these days. But even i…

meh. unless they plan on turning their product into a fashion/status symbol Apple will be fine. What they actually have to do is somehow make the iPod uncool, and take its place in…

We're dying. Watch us bleed.

The iPod has become so popular that a friend of mine who swore he'd never buy anything from Apple only a few years ago, bought an iPod mini for his wife 2 weeks ago. Now he wants …

I think Apple needs to choose either the iTMS or the iPod to stop trying to retain a tight hold on. I seriously think they should look at licensing FairPlay to other stores but no…

Competition = Good. yes..... luckily no ones cutting corners and being anti-competitive so far ala Microfluffy(microsoft). Great thing for consumers. Cheers

iPods are huge in australia. Just walking to work (15-20 minutes) I see about 5-10 other people with them every day. 5 of my friends have one. I don't know anybody with a non-ipod …

Being from Singapore, I really find it ironic how Creative is with their recent adverts to try to get people to "switch" from their iPod. Even the fonts they use in the ad are Gara…

In movies and tv series, people listen to their "iPods", not their "Creatives". iPod is synonomous with mp3 player. I don't think Apple has anything to worry about, the iPods are d…

Counting myself, I know 3 "Mac" people with iPods, and 3 PC people, and several other PC people who want one. I heard on slashdot there were some guys who bought an iRiver (super c…

Everybody used to use Hoovers, and the word became synonymous with Vacuum Cleaner. Then, along came a clever chap called Dyson, and suddenly everybody uses Dysons, except that they…

I also know about 5-10 people who have iPods. One of the guys I work with who is a HUGE pc user has one. I also know several other PC users who have them as well. The iPod is def…

Hi-larious.... http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000340065155/

This line says it all: "Are they really expecting people to pay a premium to own a Creative player? " Apple-haters will have to pay MORE for an INFERIOR product. Same as Apple-lo…

I'm waiting for the first report on "the beleaguered Creative Technologies, Ltd."

War over. In fact, it never started. Apple won before it began!

C'mon, someone must have(can make) a Creative OWNED image!?!?! Wow. This thread revival just made my day. I love it. Go Apple!

Since 11 months ago I have seen iPod ownership in Spain increase manyfold. And in stores they are getting all the attention. My local FNAC has an entire shelf for iPods and accesso…

I think as long as Apple keeps innovating and making bold moves with the iPod the competition has no to little chance of breaking Apple's hold on the market. If they get stagnant l…

Well, looks like there never was a reason to be worried. The iPod is stronger now than it was before Creative, Napster, Microsoft etc declared 'war'. MP3 players are becoming a muc…

The 2006 strategy announcement from Sim Wong Hoo: "After last years failed attempt to increase Creative's revenue stream by inflating the price on MP3 players failed, Creative is r…
