According to Steve Wozniak, Apple Co-Founder…

As “Woz” said, iPod is dieing…

He explains that iPods are dieing in the “transistor radios and walkman” way of dieing… As you can see, iPod is getting cheaper and cheaper… And its being in alot of displays and it reached a level where a single person owns two or three iPods…

Now my favourite part, he explains his discomfort toward iPhone (Bashar mentioned something similar though)

“Woz” said that iPhone consumers are not getting what they want with the proprietary nature of iPhone compared to the Google’s Andriod open source nature…

Here’s the part of his speak that I enjoyed

Consumers are not getting all they want when companies are very proprietary and lock their products down, I would like to write some more powerful apps than what you’re allowed.

I’m sure Jail breaking it would allow you to do more stuff than the usual… But still, why would you do such thing to a proprietary natured device to be able to tweak around and customize it they way you really like? Wouldn’t it be better if you could do it in a device (with the high possibility that the device developer\manufacturers would provide you with the proper tools and libraries) that allows you to customize it the way you like with support of others as well?
