As it happens, though, the lack of focus on OMG FEATURES!!! is the precise reason why the iPod does so well.

The iPod does so well because it is very, very flashy. 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.
