The power of the iPod
Steve Job's message to the consumer last week was "yawn - here's a phone with iTunes support" and "gloat - here's yet another iPod that will dig a hole in your wallets and crush the competition even further". However his message to the media and other "media-player" companies was probably far more disturbing.
It makes me think that there were probably some shouts of celebration when Apple didn't introduce a video version of the iPod (it would be interesting to check heart-rates of the Sony managers watching the event).
But Apple could introduce a video player - if he wanted to (all the infrastructure is in place after all). And that's the power.
