maybe i'm just not seeing it, but how are sillouettes of people dancing to their ipods making them seem like it's the second coming? anyway, if people don't like it, they need to learn to get over it. apple has developed an extremely effective marketing strategy, and it's making them tons and tons of money. that's the point of marketing, isn't it? they're still not forcing anyone to buy anything, and they're not operating under monopolistic or anti-competitive business tactics.

oh, and apple usually only releases new products once every several months (each quarter) at most. this was the exception, since they released the ipod nano only a few weeks ago.
