And your mother wears army boots

I noticed J Allard (who I've know for a long time and I repsect quite a bit) and I are quoted in the same Businessweek article on the Zune launch. According to J, the iPod is "the Model T of digital music"? Really? Come on J. Get real. I can think of about five different ways you can compete effectively against Apple and this isn't one of them. No one in the world outside of Redmond (and certainly not consumers) think of the iPod in those terms. This type of rhetortic just makes you look silly. I think you can do better in terms of message.
