Quote from the article:

"It seems that iPod will lose its leader position on the MP3 players’ market, as Sony Korea launched during the previous week its new MP3 player named MP3P NW-E00,"

So, the iPod lose its leadership position to Sony -- or anybody else??!


Four words:

LAUGH MY ASS OFF!

What a presumptuous thing to say by the author! S/he has ZERO substantiation for such a statement, and the field is littered with the remains of emaciated "iPod killers". This product -- intuitively named "MP3P NW-E00" will fare no better.

"MP3P NW-E00". What a typical AND TERRIBLE moniker! Will these people EVER learn?
