The Imperishable Evolution

This is priceless

On e-readers:

I think the general-purpose devices will win the day because I think people just probably aren’t willing to pay for a dedicated device. You notice Amazon never says how much they sell; usually if they sell a lot of something, you want to tell everybody.

On no camera in iPod touch:

Originally, we weren’t exactly sure how to market the Touch. Was it an iPhone without the phone? Was it a pocket computer? [...] We don’t need to add new stuff — we need to get the price down where everyone can afford it.

On health:

I probably need to gain about 30 pounds, but I feel really good. I’m eating like crazy. A lot of ice cream.

Christopher Breen on Radio in the iPod nano:

When Steve Jobs announced that the new nano would bear a radio, a few of the media types around me reacted with a “Huh?” Face it, radio is strictly old school. But Apple’s implementation has brought a nice twist to it. Instead of just playing the radio, you can pause it and record the next 15 minutes in a buffer. This is handy when you’re in the middle of listening to a great tune or talk program, need to break away for a bit, and want to pick up where you left off.
