AP: Nitrus fails to match iPod in value

So far, no gadget has come close in mimicking the style and simplicity of Apple's top-selling iPod digital music player, but the new could be the first "real contender." The Nitrus' interface is comparable to that of the iPod, but features smaller buttons due to its small form factor. At $300, the Nitrus offers 1.5 gigabytes of storage, enough for about 375 songs. The $300 iPod, Apple's low-end model, has 10 gigabytes of space -- enough for 2,500 songs. While much smaller than the iPod, the Nitrus "still doesn't recapture the music player crown for Rio," says Associated Press writer Matthew Fordahl, "the sleek black gadget is too pricey, its software lackluster, and hard drive too skimpy for the price."

Well, DUH!
I mean, seriously. How stupid do you have to be not to realise the Nitrus cannot hold a candle to the iPod?
