Innovative vs. Useful

Here’s an article on Basement.org that talks about how Video iPods are cool but not useful. It draws on the Nielsen study that says that video use on iPods is very low.

I personally can never imagine spending more time than it takes to cast a cursory glance to view a video on the video iPod. Especially not for interesting content – I might use it to view some lectures from Stanford [ where the audio is important than the video and the only reason I might view the video is because there might be a PowerPoint presentation in the background ].

I own a U2 edition, 20 GB, black and white audio iPod.

    Hi Braden,

    Thanks for stopping by!
    I too hope that I get a chance to blog on innovation again – it’s been ages – I’ve moved on from innovation to design but I can see that innovation stays ingrained in pretty much whatever I do. Cheers!
