iPod, Jumping the Shark?
Scobel's Link Blog wonders
when the iPod will tip from cool to uncool. When everyone has something it begins to lose its luster. What can Apple do to ride the wave of coolness for as long as possible? Or is this product somehow immune because of its unique combination of coolness, usefulness, and stylishness?
I've got to wonder a bit about that myself. I find myself wishing I had bought the Etymotic earpieces that didn't have the bright white cords, and trying to stick it in a seat pocket or somewhere out of the way so people don't see it.
Funnier still I find myself wishing I still could use my 2G iPod because now with the 'latest' one I look like I 'just got it' instead of 'had it before it was cool' type thing.
Oh well :)
