Please stop talking about the iPod all the time

posted by Johannes on October 17th, 2005

Is anyone else tired of reading about iPods in almost every blog / magazine / newspaper? Everywhere I look it’s iPod this and iPod that. The music press, even those magazines who cover independent and underground music, report iPod sales figures and Apple’s quarterly profit. Music blogs link to porn websites because a girl is licking a Nano instead of cock, and everything remotely related to this product seems to be worth mentioning.

I don’t understand that all the hype is still fascinating four years after the first iPod was introduced. I would be really happy to see people writing and discussing more about the music itself rather than a device that plays back a recording.

And before i get bashed, let me say that I’m a (most of the time) avid Macintosh user, I check out Apple rumor websites quite often and sometimes I even watch Steve Jobs’ Keynote speeches. I don’t own an iPod (I’ve never had any mobile music player, no Walkman, Minidisc or other MP3-players), but I’ve already used it, I know how it works and feels and yes, the iPod is a great product, the Nano looks amazing and iTMS works like a gem.
