I was just being naughty. I agree with you, actually. Which is why I run iPodLinux.
As it happens, though, the lack of focus on OMG FEATURES!!! is the precise reason why the iPod does so well. But then, this is a periodical for Our Sort, not, you know, Ordinaries. We want to break our consumer electronics, dammit. It's what we do.

I tried out someone's iPod Video a few weeks ago and was taken aback by all the eye/ear candy. The ironic thing, though, is that for all the bling it really is a feature-poor device.
