Serious Competitor for iPod
I'm not much of a gadget hound, but I've been reading about the The Nokia N91 and it seems like the first serious competitor of the iPod I've looked at. It's also a phone and has email and web capabilities and a 2 megapixel camera.
The killer feature to me though, is that is allows you to swap music files with other people using bluetooth. It would be like siting your iPod next to some one else's and getting a copy of that song they were telling you about. Brilliant.
I just wonder if they will really be brave and make bluetooth file sharing easy to use and unlimited. Apple has limited the usefulness of the iPod and iTunes in order to make their music store more atractive to the industry. You can only connect your iPod to one computer, for example, and there is no way to access your music files on it's hard drive except through iTunes. I think a company that offers a multi-gig music player, but without those limitations, making it even easier to share music, would have a hit product on their hands.
