The famous ipod review by CmdrTaco (creator of Slashdot):

> No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

True. True. Opinion.

So a fairly accurate review, and the opinion is totally fair. Maybe a bit short sighted now with hindsight and what not, but at least he compared a nomad instead of a zune. That would have caused the review to not age well.

I don't think most people would argue that his review aged well, in spite of getting the direction of gravity right.

The first Zune was released in November 2006, just over 5 years after the first iPod. So, it wasn’t hard for him to not compare it with a Zune. It also isn’t surprising that that Zune was better than the 2001 Nomad.

Boo!
