iPod photo name change


Apple has tweaked the name of its newest iPod, the : the 'p' in photo a lower case to match that of the iPod mini. Apple says it is updating its electronic and web-based materials to accomodate the name change and has already made change on its own website. Apple began notifying its partners earlier today of the marketing change.

    Collector's items?

    Looks like someone over in marketing made a pretty big blunder. Now they're going to have to change all the pamphlets, displays, product boxes etc. Depending on how long Apple keeps the iPod photo around those iPod Photo boxes and iPods themselves could become collector's items.

    Duh.

    I thought the iPod mini was in all lower case because it's "small". They should have just left it as it was. I guess their marketing department needed a make-work project.

    Here comes...

    the 20 lb. iPod MAX (oh...and the PowerBook G5 :) ).

    Do people have their iPod Photos (capital "P") yet?

    Thank God!!!

    I am so glad Apple changed that name. I have been losing sleep at night over this catastrophe. Thank you Apple.



    Now that you have done that, get back to work on a wireless iPod.

    interesting

    I grabbed the 'holiday gift list' at the Apple Store last week and it had iPod Photo printed. Now, they have to recycle those printed material and get some new one. What a waste.

    Must be urgent

    I can't believe just how important this must be. Shouldn't they be working on a G5 laptop ... 3GHz G5 tower ... word processor ... TV tuner ... Flight Simulator ... rugged notebook ... etc. etc. etc. ????

    Sheesh.

    I love the people saying "Shouldn't they be working on..." Like the marketing department, or anyone other than the small part of the hardware engineering team working on new PowerBooks, could somehow speed up that release. Funny stuff, people.

    OMG

    Dumbest... story... ever.

    "Steve Jobs takes a c*** in the John! News at 11!" lol. Only apple fanboys (and MacNN retards) would be interested in this, everyone else... move along.
