> “No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame,” said Rob “CmdrTaco” Malda on Slashdot on October 1st, 2001. (The Nomad, if you're wondering, was a pre-iPod MP3 player that was the size and shape of a Sony Discman in its early incarnations)

This is what iPods used to be stacked up against in tech circles.

No disrespect intended. Sorry! :)
