Yes, I was just saying... in order to kill the ipod, you have to one up it in a major way, or five up it. :) The Zune definitely aimed to one up it but failed VERY miserably. The iPhone I guess should not be considered an iPod killer, because you're right, it's a whole new class. Ultimately comprable to other "smart phones". So... maybe my comparison of the Zune and iPhone is like apple's and oranges. But maybe... just maybe the reall "killer" to the top of the line iPod is to transcend the genre and create or atleast redefine a completely new class of devices that just so happens to have an ipod built in. Speaking of which, since I haven't seen it said before. The iPhone is a combination of the following devices 1 iPod mini 1 blackberry 1 Palm or basic PDA 1 Nokia 770 I think some people could probably do much better. Just a different way of looking at it that might create insight. -Mike The comparison should be with the existing crop of smartphones...
