Just read the review. Keep in mind this is from Computerworld so their mind set is a bit different than most. A bit more toward the practical wins over design view. And the idea "one with the most features wins" mentality.
First of all. What is with the bump at the top? A last minute antenna addition no doubt. Not nearly as cool looking as the iPod. The idea of free streaming music sounds appealing if free Wi-fi was virtually everywhere. But $15/month to be able to download music seems odd. The interface looks very cartoony from the pic. I would think this is probably win over some of the Zune people but not the iPod people. Not compelling enough. Plus Apple will probably have iPhone type features in the next iPod anyway.
That is a great point, Stitch. I didn't even take note that Computerworld originally published the article. This thing will pale in comparison to the functions of the iPhone.
