What the hell!!!

I found this page with a list of the top 10 gizmos of 2001( http://www.straitstimes.com.sg/cybernews/story/0,1870,93469,00.html ). iPod is at the #3 spot and that's cool. Then I saw the TiBook at #5 and that's cool too. But hen I saw that at the bottom of the TiBook listing it says that prices start at $4,163! Yeah right. that is compleatly wrong. The TiBook starts at $2299.

I read that too, and I was going WTF too! It might be that the international prices are higher, and that that reflects that pricing, but I hardly believe that it would make that much of a difference... that's almost double, so it couldn't even correspond with the ORIGINAL pricing of the TiBooks!

I sent them an email to correct the error, I'll post any reply I get. One thing that bothers me though. The iPod is cooler than the G4?? And I noticed it said the iPod only works with Mac, I guess they never heard of the xPod software.

xPod? Explain this!

 

[rdhazrd]

xPod is some software to allow Windows users to use the iPod. How it works or where to get it I don't know.

OK, they changed the name to xplay you can find it at: http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/

IIRC it only enables the iPod as a firewire harddrive, not more!
