iPod Mastery

As an iPod owner since the first version came out three years ago -- and before then a denizen of Nomad Jukebox MP3 players -- I am thrilled to see that Apple's music devices and online iTunes music store have lifted the company's profitability. As Cythnia Webb writes, "Apple has been transforming itself into an entertainment company from a pure computer maker." Apple Thanks Its Lucky iPods [TechNews.com]. This is a shift that has been years in the making, and is a great development. The "digital hub" is becoming reality.
