the better prodcut always wins...
"Reality proves the better product does not always win ..."
Really? You are not going to roll out the old Beta vs VHS crap to make this point are you? The better product always wins, the better product is the one that does what the consumer wants at a price the consumer is willing to pay for it. If folks want porn and VHS gives them porn at the right price, VHS was the better product, period. If you have the best picture quality and folks are willing to sacrifice picture quality to get the content they want, you can not lay claim to a "better product" based on criteria the consumers do not use when making their purchase.
If folks wanted a simple scrolling interface rather than some Voice Nav BS and are willing to pay the asking price, then guess which is the better product? Remember the EDIG player that could not even play the tracks in album, order? Talk about an inferior tech and product.
You tell yourself it is a better tech because that is what you believed and you gave away large portions of your money because of it. By every single objective measurable know to man, it is not a better tech. It is not even a blip on the radar.
And on the only measure that even really matters, profit generated, it beyond a dismal failure as a tech.
