In the end, the biggest challenge to the iPod is the cellphone. With mass-storage capacity exploding and power consumption going down, cellphones will soon reach the point where they can be used effectively as MP3 players, carrying thousands of songs. Samsung already offers a cellphone that has 4GB of storage. That’s the storage capacity of the iPod mini. Cellphones could also stream music from your home or server. Apple knows this is coming and has already started to team up with Motorola to embed iTunes in cellphones. |
