“No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.”

The market clearly values some attributes of devices differently from you. That’s fine, and it’s good that there are a variety of different decices out there to fulfill different needs. But “mediocre” or “shitty” are really not useful words in this context.

They absolutely are apt descriptions as an opinion. Clearly the iPod was wildly popular, I was questioning why and described my viewpoint of an "ok" device with plenty of competitors. That also had better interfaces.
