  • A very detailed look at Apple’s new iPod touch-based checkout

    A very detailed look at Apple’s new iPod touch-based checkout

    Posted on November 3, 2009 | No Comments
    Apple is finally getting rid of the ass-ugly Winmo-based handheld checkout systems in its Apple Stores. After all, the devices themselves were always kind of an ironic statement to the vast adaption and usefulness of Window Mobile. But those will soon be gone and the checkout systems will use an iPod touch with a card scanner snapped onto the back. Oh, and yeah, it's a whole lot sexier than the Winmo version and just looks like an iPod touch external battery/case.

    The Zune HD: September 15. Apple iPod Event: Likely September 8.

    Posted on August 13, 2009 | No Comments
    A lot of people today are excited about the new Zune HD. And that's great news for Microsoft, as it has been attempting for a few years now to even just steal some buzz from Apple in the MP3 market, if not sales. Well, they've succeeded in the first part, but the second? That could be much more difficult. Microsoft's new device sounds great: OLED screen, HD radio, HD video (720p) outputs, powerful Tegra chip, and most importantly a iPod-beating price of $219.99 for the 16 GB variety, and just $289.99 for the 32 GB version. That latter is a $110 savings over the comparable iPod touch, which the Zune HD clearly targets. And now it has a very real release date: About a month from now, September 15. Are the planets aligning for a hit version of the Zune, finally? Not so fast.

  • The iPod, As We Know It, Is Dying

    The iPod, As We Know It, Is Dying

    Posted on July 21, 2009 | No Comments
    During its quarterly earnings call today, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer focused a lot of attention on what the company is now calling its "pocket products." That is, the iPhone, the iPod touch and the iPod. You'll notice that Apple has taken to separating out the iPod touch from the rest of the iPod line. And that makes sense, given it shares many more similarities with the iPhone. But it's also for another reason: The iPod, as we know it, is dying. Of the three pocket products, two saw huge year-over-year growth this quarter, one did not. While iPhone sales grew a massive 626% year-over-year, iPod touch sales actually grew just about 130% too. And while Apple may consider the iPod touch outside of the iPod line, for financial purposes, it's still counted with them. So when you hear that overall the iPod family saw a 7% decline year over year, you know that the actual iPod numbers minus the iPod touch, must not be very good at all.
