New iPOD Touch

[Clippy]

I fail to see the excitment.

It's a portable mp3 and video player with a touch screen and browser.

Whoopee do.

I've had one of those for the last 5 years.

It's called a Smartphone.

Which is also a phone. And has Office. And runs software.

What next ?

Apple inventing a round device (that looks nice) and calling it "Wheel 2.0"

What is the point of this company other than to redesign technology 5 years out of date and release it as if it was brand new ?

And what does it say about their customers who fall for this con-trick every fricking time ?

Hmmm.

Design
Usabilty
Marketing
Cachet

If it was so naff, why do other companies ending following suit.

I suspect we will start to see more touch screen MP3 players and mobiles appearing now.

Apple has popularised although not necessarily invented almost every major development in personal computing and digital music. I don't think that's quite 'redesigning' 5 year old technology.

Plus they get design and user interface like no other company in the industry.

I am not an Apple fanboy who buys whatever they churn out, I've got both a Macbook Pro and an HP. But I do know which one is best.
