We are just about to launch a rival product - the iDontneedanymoretoys :twisted:





Edited at the same time as Amy was quoting the previous version.

Will it have the same instant death feature as other iProducts if in contact with moisture? I'll stick to my paperbacks and magazines.
Our new car doesn't even have a cassette player.

A couple of cars ago mine only had a cassette player, if I didn't fancy what was on the radio I had a somewhat 80s selection from my childhood that I had kept for posterity, but came to the fore once again. Billy Idol and Sigue Sigue Sputnik anyone :D . A number of other classic albums in the playlist but I won't embarass myself any further, actually I still like some of the Billy Idol stuff.

Yep, afraid I had a number of those in one of those plastic suitcase things you kept tape in Dombo, some on albums but quite a few on Now... compilations when they were still in single digits. This was only about 4 years ago I had this car...

Mine are about 25 years old and taped from the radio and records borrowed from Wallington library. Even got Nows 1 & 2. Still in remarkably good nick and superb sound quality. Doubtless not a patch on Snoop's 8-track cartridges though!

Well, [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8483654.stm]That's[/url] disappointing. To me it looks just like an overgrown iPhone with an ugly 1" border round the screen.

I think I'll wait for the second generation in about 6 months*.














*And then iGnore that as well.
