“... you close the binding, kick, and listen the sound of the snow sliding underneath the board ... and you feel floating over the white ... is anything better?”
Pogue also posted an update about reader response (can't paste the link from my iPhone...). He prints lots of comments from readers who agree with his review, none from those who don't, then uses a few crackpot comments to make a "BlackBerry nuts" jibe. Seems like he has an axe to grind... - Jules
I think he's got a point though - Have both? Cup of drink in one hand, which can you pick out a single song from a list of hundreds quicker on with the other hand? Wheel or touch? - Chris Weiss

If there's one thing Pogue hates, it's criticism. No one likes it, but he goes to great lengths to refute it. - Veronica
Chris, frankly the scroll wheel tires the heck out of my thumb. I've found that I can find songs faster on the touch/iPhone. - Veronica
I was surprised to see that the readers agreed with Pogue about his review. As soon as I saw Gruber's post, I thought there would be a RIM riot, but nope. - Larry Hudson
I'm sure the ones he picked were a little skewed. - Veronica
I'm faster with the scroll wheel, too much twitching to be accurate with the touch - maybe the other hand should be holding decaf instead :) - Chris Weiss

I had to use someone's iPod Classic this weekend past to quickly make a playlist, and since I've been using the iPhone I seem to have lost the skill to make playlists quickly on the old iPod's scroll wheel. - Matthew J Hendrickse
It probably has to do with enclosures in the RSS feed. - Jason Huebel
I'd like to know also, if you get a chance - Tom Mack
If the audio is in the feed, FF will put the player in itself. I have my Utterz feed listed in FF, and when I leave an audio post FF puts that little player in too. - Ciaoenrico
Please change "Steve Gibson's comments" to "Steve Gillmor's comments" on the description page for this episode. :) - Dr. Apps
