There's plenty that do playlists too, in fact almost all of them do.
Plenty that are just as easy to synch too.

There's XXXX all likely to piss $5/600+ and a 2 year $50/90
per month against the wall on an iphone just for that.
And plenty dont even like iTunes too.

Easy to claim...

Why piss $5/600+ and a 2 year $50/90 per month against the wall
on an iphone just to keep that ? And end with a rather shitty camera,
a completely XXXXed cellphone network, no way to run 3rd party
apps, no removable battery, no sim, etc etc etc.

See the sales of all those phones with media players and non ipod media players.
> its about the UI, the syncing, and the style. ipod != "random media player"
None of the are JUST random media players and most
dont mindlessly play the same playlist all the time anyway.

Useless, sweet XXXX all of the market even bother with it.

Doesnt mean that it ever takes off tho. Look at the Newton.

The Mac and Newton clearly arent.

And the Mac and the Newton never were except when
the Newtons were being flushed where they belonged.

You're not supposed to fart in usenet.

Nope, plenty have enough of a clue to want that stuff in one device.

Wrong with the high end phones and pdas.
> not so w/ iPhone.
Pity its so pathetically late to market.
Pity its on such a XXXXed cellphone network.
Pity about how XXXXed the camera is.
Pity that it doesnt even have a removable battery.
Pity that it cant even use cards.
Pity it doesnt even have a GPS.
