Mark, What do you mean by "The fact that Apple thinks it's cool to be able to manipulate iTunes playlists in a slightly new way says more about their lack of innovation" How is manipulating playlists a lack of innovation? Since iTunes is really a small part of the whole picture I'm not sure how it makes any real difference. Clearly there is only so much room to innovate currently in the hardware but certainly the innovation will be in the software. True innovation in hardware will come when someone manages to get 24 hours runtime (surfing, streaming, and such) on their phone. Now that is going to be innovative. :)
