iPod is the Toyota Camry of MP3 players?

Andrew Kantor has obviously never faced the wrath of the Apple Nation before, because in his column in USA Today he thought it'd be a good idea to compare the iPod to a Toyota Camry. We rarely ever blockquote, but this is way too good not to:

I just don't get the overwhelming appeal of the iPod, Apple's MP3 player. It's a beautiful device to be sure, but it does exactly what many, many other similar players do: It plays MP3s. Other brands are better, less expensive, have more capacity, are easier to use, and so on. But the iPod has something more than 85% market share. That's incredible - that's like finding that 85% of people in the country drive Toyota Camrys. It just doesn't make sense.

The rest of the column actually has hardly anything to do with the iPod, it's mainly about the evolution of storage. There are a lot of complaints you can make about the iPod, but comparing it to a Camry?
