Yes, the headline is an exaggeration, but as I read more and more about the reaction to this thing I’m really struck by some of it.
“If I lose my headphones then I can’t use the device!” Well, if you lose your headphones now what do you do? Hold the thing up to your ear and crank the volume? You need to get headphones in either case. And third parties will provide more options.
The interface gets lots of flack. Apparently the click, double-click and triple-click is just too much. No one can use it. Grandma will be helpless…
Personally, I love it … it is to audio what the iPod Touch is to … well Touch.
There is lots of potential in an interface like that and I’ve already heard quite a number of “I want one’s”
Tom, Did you see my EIGHT story on my website?
