Nintendo milked "Pokemon" for all they were worth, can you blame Apple for doing the same?

I'd blame society for buying into it so much... labelling the 2000-2010 decade the "iGeneration" ... I dont want to be part of that *$&%ing group.

The Apple fanboys would probably be allover it, so it's not such a bad idea.

I wish Microsoft would buy-out Apple and shut it down so I don't have to see those arrogant nerds with white earphones on the subway :lol:

Wow, what's with all the hate? I have an ipod because it works well, is immaculately designed (in both the physical and interface sense), lasts long per charge, and syncs directly with itunes.

Anyways, I doubt the masses would flock to an iCar just because it's made by Apple, but just imagine if they revolutionize the standard car interface... it could be awesome!

The "iCar" thing was speculation by the reporter, and a terrible one at that. Electronics companies have been working with car manufacturers forever now. Just because Apple gets approached, suddenly it means something now?

This is nothing new, nothing special. As we move through the 21st century, expect to see more computer integration in your vehicles.

ipod is pretty well designed. itunes is one of the worst piece of crap software applications that has seen the light of day.

agreed ipod is physically well designed. and in general, apple has many intelligent features on their range of products (that's how techies can support them unabashedly).

but without a doubt, apple is selling an image, and despite the price tag there will always be people to buy it. it is difficult to criticize their style when they have substance to back it up.
