Tesla all-electric car on Top Gear

well, I buy Apple products, too. Macs and Airport all around the house, and even a couple of iPods (one a Touch).

I buy the products that make my life easy, products that make sense.

But not everything they do makes sense. Let's start with the hockey puck mouse, shall we? And I never, ever "got" the AppleTV. It was aimed squarely at what Apple considers its target market: people with more money than brains. And frankly, I just don't get the iPad. I really don't know what problem it was designed to solve. And frankly, although I do understand the iPhone somewhat, it's not that big of a deal to me.

Keep in mind, much of the "have to have" mentality that drives the copycat stuff is the result of Apple marketing. When will the industry learn that's it's not ONLY about making cheap gear that geeks will want to fiddle with; it's also about marketing. Spend the money there, and watch what happens.

Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Apple has a big lead on technology marketing expertise.

Not true. You can buy a 2GB iPod Shuffle for $59. An 8GB iPhone is $99. And the iPad starts at $499, although before Jobs announced it, industry pundits predicted it would cost twice that amount.

um, no it's not.

It's $99 plus ($80 x 24), which is $2019.
