Parent article: Interview with Bernard Leach (iPodLinux) (LinuxInterviews.com)

My point was: "Everybody has one (car)" is wrong: In my hometown (~3.4 Mega people, Europe) only 50% of the households own a car, muss less an iPod. In the U.S. cars might be useful, they seem to be dispensable in e.g. rural areas of Africa. The point of linuxinterviews.com was "iPods are very popular now", which is true. But when mobile phones get all the multimedia stuff integrated, iPods will be dispensable - just like cars.
