Today Apple released 5 new products including a new iPod and accessories. No doubt there’s going to be tens of thousands of people foaming at the mouth to get the latest crumbs that fall from Steve Jobs’ mouth. Endless lines of people buying into the hype and it’s just that, hype. People are obviously buying these things based solely on style because they’re sure as hell not basing their monetary expenditure on function. There has yet to be a single product in the iPod family that stands out from anything else. For most everyone’s use there’s a better product on the market that cost far less. Obviously it gets the job done, but people need to stop talking about it as if it’s something special, as if it’s some kind of revolutionary device.

You might think that an iPod is cool. But, seriously, if you need a music player to define your personality, something went terribly wrong.
