I would rather pay a little more for a superior product than less for an
inferior one. Especially since most Apple products are superior to any of
their competitors....both hardware and software....and the other MP3 players
are at best inferior to any of the iPods...and I think Steve is right when
he thinks people will pay $50 more for the storage space for 940 more songs
