in my opinion the thing that apple got right- was itunes. very easy to import your cd's and seemless adding to the ipod. very very easy to buy tunes and import... americans are stupid - how many vcr's still blink 12:00? steve jobs figured that out and easied up the process and is making boatloads of money because of that.

linux did not make inroads into the general population until ubuntu made it easy to use.

the NIT wont get "popular" until it is as easy as ubuntu/ipod----in my opinion.
