The New Flatness

Apple has created some deals with American and foreign car companies to allow for full connectivity of iPods in the cars and trucks. I read about what Bob Lefsetz thinks about how this will affect the satellite radio industry.

I lean towards agreeing with him.

Bob mentions in his post that he thinks all music that people have on their iPods is not from the iTunes store but ripped CDs. This is probably true but someone needs to hack together an app that can monitor anonymously what percentage of iTunes purchased music people have on their iPods. It would be interesting to see what the real numbers are since its impossible to estimate that number.

Bob also brings up the point that satellite radio is about music discovery where the iPod is not. What does it take to make the iPod a discovery device? …connectivity.
