In Catalan only, but Ignasi has links to the opinion of 3 world-class CEOs about what they think regarding the iPod shuffle and the Mac mini. Obviously, when those CEOs belong to companies who compete head-to-head with Apple, you can't expect favourable opinions. In fact, the opinions border with stupidity. Take a look at what Dell's CEO has to say about the iPod:"It's interesting the iPod has been out for three years and it's only this past year it's become a raging success. Well those things that become fads rage and then they drop off. When I was growing up there was a product made by Sony called the Sony Walkman--a rage, everyone had to have one," he said. "Well you don't hear about the Walkman anymore. I believe that one product wonders come and go."Amazing, the walkman is 20 years old! No wonder he can't see them anymore... The links: one, two, three.
Another gem from the articles:
"Actually, to me it's a big let-down: we're expecting a good fight but they're coming out with something that's five generations older,"Says the CEO from a company whose flagship products are a blatant rip-off of the iPod, iPod mini and iPod photo...
