You shouldn’t judge an iPod by its box
Tim, a TUAW tipster, gets the "Most observant" award this week if what he says is true. According to some "unboxing" photos that Tim saw yesterday, Apple hasn't just started favoring the more PC-friendly USB protocol with the latest bunch of iPods, but something even more subtle has happened with the iPod packaging. While it still says "Mac + PC" all over the iPod pages – the iPod boxes, he says, all say "PC + Mac". PC preceeding Mac is a subtle, but important difference.
Tim was unable to point to the picture in question and a cursory search on my part turned up nothing, so I can't say for sure this is accurate, but if it is, it's worth further analyses. Although I have 7 iPods, I don't have a single iPod box anywhere near me at the moment so I can't even confirm that it's a recent change, if a change at all.
Has Tim been drinking too much? Have I?
