iPod – Firewire = New iPod
Daring Fireball has another great article posted up, whats new right? Well just for the sake of making a post, when I can’t think of anything else, I’ll tell you a quick bit about the post.
Its all about why Apple ditched the firewire cable from the freebies inside new iPods, and why its not the end of the world as some Mac-Heads would have you believe.
But while it’s rankling to some Mac users, it’s not rankling to iPod users in general, because, let’s face it, most iPod users, especially new ones, aren’t using Macs
I think its that last sentence where he makes his best point. The vast majority of new iPods being sold now are to Windows users. Most mac people out there already have a iPod, and new mac users (the ones out there buying Minis) might not appreciate Firewire like some of the Apple-faithful. So they decided to cut it from the box and in turn, cut the price. Makes sense…but the Apple-faithful person inside of me is a little sad.
