On: Steve Jobs Admits Apple Made a Mistake

[catch23]

Yeah? Who made the iPod killer? The iPod has been around for a long time now, why hasn't anyone come up with something decent that competes with it yet?

There are quite a few mp3 players that are superior to contemporary iPods on a technical basis.

But none that are good enough that their names popped into your mind when you wrote that comment?

Out of my head:

* Cowon S9 / Samsung P3 if you want a big screen

* Sandisk Sansa Clip (Plus) if you only care about music (cheap price too)

I currently own a S9 32 GB and the old Clip (8GB), and I mostly use the Clip at the moment.
