I think Apple will change Classic to be something different. Like a storage device or mini Time Machine or something. I don't think its time to discontinue them yet. Can Apple make classics with Flash Memory?
1) I thought Windows 7 would be a better candidate for a product which sells itself, as it will be bundled with nearly every PC sold from October? Moreover, the XBOX still has to compete with the Wii and PS3 Slim.
Talk about burying the lead. The tease puts "squircle" out there, but the article never mentions it much less explains what the heck it is.
Now MS will have only two branded items for sale in their new stores, one model of Zune and Windows 7. Oh, and all those mice and keyboards. And I suppose all those different versions of Windows can fill a couple more shelves.
remember there were rumors there would be birthday parties at the new msft stores...so i figure they'll blow up a bunch of balloons to fill up all the empty space...
the site looks like a bad copy of the ipod site, it's just beyond pathetic...if apple were as obnoxious, cheap and desperate as they are, they'd sue for plagiarism...
"Classic" - did I miss something? How many revisions of it have there been to be a "Classic" rendition.
Either way, nobody cares. Although I'm willing to bet in 10-20 years the Brown turdZune will be worth more than the toilet paper it came in. That will be a "classic" even though the Zune store will be long gone rendering the unit unusable like their "Glance" watch, BOB, and everything else they do besides office and windows.
interesting comment, I'm seriously thinking about giving up my ATT 1st gen iPhone and getting a cheap 'dumb' phone. Using my iPhone as a Touch for wifi/email and waiting to make a decision on whether or not to get a Tablet, new Touch, or a 3GS. Just hate paying ATT a $100 a month!
Long live the Zune!
Did it. Straighttalk wireless (TracFone) - $45 a month unlimited phone and text. Yea it's an older phone but the W385 has bluetooth and a USB connector and tethers quite easily. Use Opera and your good. Did I mention that it's on Verizon? Yea, no more dropped calls and service everywhere, for $45/mo.
Anyone that has a classic, can you tell me is it noticably slow to navigate with? I have a Nano and my wife has an old 4th gen ipod. I went to an Apple store look at the 6th gen classic when it first came out and it was soo.... sluggish. Stuff that you could just fly through on the nano ( flipping through photos for instance ) or simply songs on the my wifes old 4th gen device, were noticably ...laggy. The Apple sales guy said that it was because of the harddrive, but my wifes 4th gen ipod is obviously harddrive based as well and doesn't have those problems.

No, flash memory is 100 times more expensive.
Hmmm, how to reply?
1) No, because XBox sells itself
or
2) That makes three items.

2) And you said 2.

Was that just a coincidence?

The iPod nano uses Flash storage.
