I'm afraid you are a very poor judge of intelligence if you do not think that there are many more than 100 million stupid people out there.

ArchosJukebox 6000The Archos Jukebox 6000 was one of Archos' very first portable media players. Comprising of a 6 GB Hard Disk Drive, this was one of the first of its kind. This player is only MP3 compatible, and was bundled with Musicmatch Jukebox to allow users to rip their music collection onto the jukebox.This was one of the first Hard Disk-based portable audio players, and at the time was relatively expensive. The robust and chunky design did somewhat hinder its portability but due to the large disk capacity, the Jukebox proved to be popular.The player came in metallic silver and metallic blue. This device also has a 1-bit charcell LCD screen with two lights above showing power and HDD activity. Also, like Archos' other products, this is also connectible to a hifi with its line out source, which was ideal for portable DJs.The Jukebox 6000, and it's successor the Jukebox Studio (see below), used standard USB 1.0 technology, transferring data at a maximum rate of 1 MB per second. These models transfer data at a comparably slow rate compared with succeeding Archos devices using the USB 2.0 standard.This device was released Saturday, December 9, 2000 and discontinued as of Friday, May 16, 2003. It weighs 350 g.The Jukebox is historically notable for shipping with a user interface and operating system so unfriendly and bug-ridden as to inspire Björn Stenberg and other programmers to begin to develop a superior, open-source replacement operating system. This project became Rockbox.Archos Recorder 20 Audio Player.Archos Recorder 20 Audio Player.[edit] Jukebox StudioThe Archos' Jukebox Studio succeeded the Jukebox 6000, the main difference between the two models being the larger hard drive sizes offered. The Jukebox Studio was available as a 10 GB, 15 GB, or 20 GB model. (The 15 GB version was shortlived.)The Jukebox Studio was released Thursday, October 4, 2001 and discontinued in 2003. It weighs 350 g.

today Apple will announce the Apple ShowerRadio, everyone will complain, and say it will fail. But you'll find out.

@fuzzmeisterI agree with you totally. I think the first generation iPhone will sell quite a lot. All I was saying is that even if it did not, Apple will release newer versions until it does succeed.EDIT: Sorry it is in the wrong place...
