Next thing you know they'll come out with a $400 boom box.. oh wait.

Christ, Apple is so lame it's embarrassing.

Apple aren't lame, overall.

But these releases. Apple had a product launch, and I didn't even get a twinge of "I want one". Not even a BIT. I liked the CoreDuo iMac. I obviously like the 5G iPod, having just bought one. I even like most of the MacBook Pro apart from the name.

But these things... the boombox, the iPod is ON, and will fall off if you carry it. Hardly a boombox. More a fairly pointless speaker which has been done before and probably better.

And the case.

It's UGLY.

And it says iPod on it. Way to go. Why not tattoo "mug me" on the buyers. At least the iPod socks are kinda funky and don't scream "Technology" (and they're soft and prevent the shiny back getting all fingerprinty).
