Who is the target market for a $350 iPod HiFi?

Published by jaseone under Information Technology

As I was reading the announcement I was thinking to myself that it would be kind of handy to pick one up for camping trips, but $350? No friggin way! Who cares how good the sound quality is, is there really that many people out there that care? Heck it is an iPod that you are listening to in the first place so the sound quality is already not the best.

Damn it! Where is the “oh and one more thing…” announcement? I was expecting Steve to walk back on stage to announce something big as the products announced weren’t especially exciting, the Mac Mini sounded kind of cool but again the pricepoint was wrong, what point is an iPod case without access to the screen or controls though? What is it a holster? $99 for a bit of leather? Come on now…

Tragedy strikes cycling in Houston

Published by jaseone under Cycling

[tag]Houston[/tag][tag]cycling[/tag]While I was working on implementing a new cycling related blog I learned of a tragic cycling accident over the weekend where one of the members was involved in what seems to be a head on collision with an SUV while on a training ride. Full details including how you can make donations to assist the victim’s family are available over on my yet to be finished cycling blog - In the drops.
