in an artible by the theipodobserver they mention toshiba's new 200 hd that could land on the supposed ms "ipod killer"

here is where you start to notice the lack of alliance apple has with the part developers like hitachi, toshiba and samsung which they supposedly fired due to being a loud mouth



do you guys think Apple is a good corporate player? and whether that affects it's product development.....



for instance freescale didn't know they where swithcing to x86 until the announcement....



should apple open up a bit.....or stay the same?

    I don't see why Apple would use a laptop drive for the ipod in the first place.

    PC World has been stinkin up the place lately. A laptop drive in an ipod competitor is just simply moronic beyond belief.



    Apple's doing fine in this business you'd better be moving forward and light speed lest your competition pass you. Freescale and IBM didn't do what Apple needed so Apple moved on.

    I hope MS and gang make a device with a laptop drive in it. The battery life and size would not an iPod killer make.

    That will be one big-ass iPod.

    Back in the early iPod days, Archos had 2.5-inch-drive players. Jeez, those were thick, bulky, heavy, ugly.



    Apple is moving to smaller (first the 1-inch drive in the mini, now flash memory in the nano), and so should the competition. Moving to bigger again (2.5-inch) makes no sense at all.
