Price Elasticity and iPods

Farhad Manjoo enjoins would-be Kindle competitors not to make the mistake the iPod’s rivals made: Lesson No. 1 : Beat the Kindle on features, not just price. One of the reasons the iPod managed to stay on top for so long was that Apple was constantly innovating. Its rivals would match its features—stylish design, unbeatable interface, ever-better capacity—but by the time they got there, Apple had invented some newer, better, smaller, sleeker iPod, and its old version was now passé.

Sony Ericsson C905a Review

My Sony Ericsson C905a review : The Sony Ericsson C905a is a brand new digital camera for AT&T. Oh, and it’s also a cell phone.

And make no mistake - this was intentional. Apple has said, of the move, that iTunes 8.2.1 “provides a number of important bug fixes,” and “It also disables devices falsely pretending to be iPods, including the Palm Pre.” The new iTun

13 year old kid reviews a 30 year old Sony Walkman

BBC Magazine gave 13-year-old Scott Campbell a gen-one Walkman in place of his MP3 player for a week, then gathered his impressions on the device: “It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette.
