Anyway I didn't mean to drift the thread off topic. The problem with this product is it's just a "me too" thing. There's no real buzz or news surrounding it, other than the fact that it's from Google. That's not enough to be news. There's nothing "new". It comes not out of innovation or clever ideas and thinking, but out of a need to expand into other markets for financial security. I think it's a really bad move, and it's quite possible that Google are about to experience their first real flop.
The problem as I see it Walkman is not so much the fact that they open up, but what they say, or the way they say it. Look at Susan Decker last month - same thing.
