"But the fact is, most people don't want high-end
stereos anymore. Many don't want any stereo at all. The
entire market for traditional home audio
products--speakers, amps, receivers and so forth--will
be about $1.7 billion this year, according to the
Consumer Electronics Association. In contrast, speaker
docks for portable MP3 players will generate more than
$1 billion all by themselves, and sales of MP3 players
will top $5.6 billion."


And your point is what, GOIA? This is what I've said all
along. People choose products for reasons of their own.
Portable MP3 docks are not "high-fidelity". They are,
however, portable. So portablility wins over sound. Yay!

The market has spoken: MP3 is the best thing going.
Everything else is floobydust.


Why does there have to be a point? The point is
discussion, if you don't understand/dislike that idea,
why are you here?


It's quite obvious why ****R is here - he's here to boost his wounded ego by
summarily putting down just about everybody he responds to. That's all this
hole needs - another Middiot! :-(
