Opinion: Why music geeks won't replace their iPod with a mobile phone just yet - Tech Digest
Stuart Dredge writes... We're all set for Apple's latest product launch tomorrow, with rumours about new iPods at fever pitch. There'll be fat Nanos, touchscreen iPods with DAB tuners inside, and a Winehouse-branded model with a plug-in beehive speaker and trackmarks on the side. Well, some of those. The point is that people are genuinely excited about the prospect of all-new iPods. Wasn't the iPhone supposed to kill this sort of thing off? MP3 players, I mean. What with the iPhone, Nokia's new Music Store, and Sony Ericsson's success with its Walkman phones, you'd think standalone MP3 players were old news.
