Because A) there are really only 3 mobile phone companies B) we have half the population of England (okay a bit more than half) coupled with C) we have a gazillion times the land mass of England (38x accoridng to WolframAlfa).

I'm not sure why 'inferior' is in quotes.. Beta was vastly superior in every technical respect to VHS, and the reason it's still in wide commercial use.

Good proof that having the best product isn't always enough.

As long as it's competitive with the iPod. The Epson sure isn't (from a photographer's standpoint). It seems more geared towards taking your entire photo collection over to your aunt's house or something.

I'f I'm travelling (when I would actually use such a device) an 80GB iPod is by far a better option, and about half the price, and I can still load music on it, and when I'm not travelling it actually serves some purpose.

Maybe this would be a bigger concern if more than 20% of the population even ever held/had a passport.

Wow... Apple really has changed. I remember the good old days where literally you would buy say an LCIII or a 6200 and by the time you got it home a new model had come out.

fw is dead (okay.. dying).. if you didn't get that from the fact the Nano won't even support the fw ipod connector.

Plus all the "switchers" will have USB peripherals, not fw ones.
