Too bad this is such a toss-off. The issue deserves more thought and discussion than just a 15-second blurb.

Now that the iPod
has reached such iconic status that airlines are willing to put their
particular pukas into the seats, is there any chance at all that
Microsoft or any other company could gain market share without adapting
Apple’s ipod interface connector?

Does this mean that the
default container for audio and visual media is no longer the five-inch
sliver disk? Are CDs and DVDs destined to become nothing more than
storage media for stuff that is actually consumed from a tiny box in
your pocket?
