Still catching up on my blogging. I read this on Robert Scoble's about Ballmer's comments about iPod users.

Now I don't own an iPod (I have a nice new Creative MuVo), but I think these could easily be seen as fighting words.

I know Ballmer has an obligation to play up Microsoft's role in this space moving forward but I think he should at least acknowledge the ground that was broken by Apple with the iPod in bringing mobile digital music into the mainstream.

Personally, I really like Windows Media Player 10 and the integration I get with the MuVo (very simple and straight-forward). My issue at the moment is dealing with the bandwidth requirements for pod-casting, especially when I am on the road on a dial-up connection like tonight.
