I'm sure some of you read this article from macnews, but I wanted to get your opinions on it. I really liked what he said about...
So, XM offers live breaking news, but you're stuck with what they pick for you. Apple gives you all the storage space you want, a cocoon against the outside world, and a mostly useless color screen. [b]Is it just me, or is it obvious that these companies should get together? What I really want is a wireless iPod that can suck down live updates or a MyFi that lets me play every track that XM has ever broadcast. Instead, I'm forced to choose between immediacy and control—or forced to spend $700 to have both. I'll save my money and hope they solve my dilemma for me.[b]
I really like that. I'm not saying that Apple needs to buy delphi, but 1) it would be cool, and 2) even if that didn't happen it would be nice to be able to receive updated news or something on the iPod.
