1G And 2G iPods: The End Of An Era1G And 2G iPods: The End Of An Era1G And 2G iPods: The End Of An Era 09/24/2004 11:21 AM One by one, 1G and 2G iPods are biting the dust only to fade away into a distant memory, replaced by slimmer, shinier replacements. By Gregory Ng, Apple Matters (via MyAppleMenu) This is a GrokNews Entry: (what is grok?)1G And 2G iPods: The End Of An EraGrok Headline matches for 1G And 2G iPods: The End Of An EraWill Mini iPods Delete Bigger iPods?Will Mini iPods Delete Bigger iPods? 01/07/2004 06:38 PM Well, as every other tech site in the world is now telling you, the not-so-secret rumors that Apple was coming out with a "mini iPod", cleverly named "iPod mini" are completely true. The other big story people are focusing on are that Apple has gotten past their Henry Ford-style color options, and will offer the iPod mini in multiple colors. You can read all the details at other sites, but in looking over the stories about the device, I'm wondering if the iPod mini will replace the iPod itself as the popular music device of choice. Personally, I don't own an iPod or any portable digital music player (I barely have any digital music - so buying such a device would only mean I need to rip all my CDs, which is a project I'm still not ready to bother with). Still, the iPod mini seems to make a lot more sense to me than many other portable music devices. The early MP3 players had way too little memory, but once you get up into the 4 gigabyte range, I wonder how much more some people need. Historically, of course, that's a dangerous viewpoint to take - since we've always figured out ways to fill up empty storage space. With Apple even advertising games, calendars and other iPod apps - you can imagine that the memory will go. However, if I were in the market for such a device, I'd definitely go with the mini iPod version right now: it's a better size for carrying around and it's "good enough" in terms of storage space - not to mention that it's cheaper. Thus, while I'm sure there are some people who simply need to have more storage space, I'm wondering if this mini iPod will steal marketshare away from its big brother.

Canadians Can't Tax iPods... For NowCanadians Can't Tax iPods... For Now 12/19/2004 03:47 PM Almost exactly a year ago, Canada started taxing MP3 players. They had already been taxing things like blank CDs as a sort of "tax to cover unauthorized music copying" and the idea was to extend it to MP3 players... even for those who were using the players for completely legitimate purposes. Now, a Canadian Court has ruled that this tax is illegal. The reasoning is basically that the wording of Canada's Copyright Act clearly doesn't cover things like MP3 players. What this really means is that Canadian politicians are likely to change that law soon. If anything, certain Canadian politicians will probably use this as an opportunity to try to make the law much more entertainment industry friendly.

Duke will be providing all incoming freshman with their very own iPod this coming semester. The iPods will be preloaded with content related to Duke campus life, including freshman orientation information and the academic calendar. What's more, a special Duke Web site modeled on Apple's own iTunes site will offer course content for download, including language lessons, music, recorded lectures and audio books. Duke students will also be able to purchase music through the site. Getting one won't be as easy as it sounds. Have you seen the admissions requirements for Duke? Tuition alone is $29,000. I suppose the least they could do is throw in a $300 iPod. When I entered college about 20 years ago they never would have given every student a Walkman. Just goes to show how our attitudes about content distribution are changing.
