David Boroditsky's Profile

I understand that technology marches on, that this year's model costs less than last year's model (and cost less as well). I've owned a 20GB iPods since last August, and I too am not planing on getting a new iPod, albeit for perhaps a different reason than you. Since the day that I got my iPod I added my voice to those who came before me and asked Apple to please add the ability to create playlists on the iPod. As a nerd, I can assure you that there is no technological limitation that prevented Apple from including this feature for the Old Skool iPods. I can understand and accept that my iPod will never be able to record sounds, sync via USB 2.0 and have red backlit buttons (thank God!). I can accept that the Old Skool iPods may have too pokey a processor to decode some future audio file format, or even be able to handle playing Parachute. I accept that my Old Skool iPods is larger, heavier and more expensive that the new iPods. What I have a hard time accepting however is that Apple is seemingly marooning 700,000 customers for no valid technological reason.
