Ah, yes, the good old pocket-sized jukeboxes :)

Latest version almost said "iPod", but I wimped out and the last line ended up:

“Plug in an MP3 player to start synchronizing your music collection, or insert 
a CD to copy songs to your computer.”
(That particular text is by Matt Griffin, who made it sound much better than I 
did... although I somehow missed that it changed back to MP3 Player from 
Portable Music Player. Oh well, strings are rigid now. On the list for Maniacal 
Mongoose).

As I went about updating the content, Various reasons came to mind for
avoiding the brand mention:

As mentioned, Apple has the upper hand there in that they can just say "your 
iPod" and assume nobody owns anything else. We can't do that ;)
This is a long-term release, iPods are notoriously difficult to support. We 
really can't expect ANY iPods to work by Lucid's end of life. (Although 
hopefully the necessary libraries will see some backports; I'm not a _complete_ 
pessimist).
As I understand it, we would need to add a trademark notice, and I for one hate 
those things.
