Transitions — Technology
Steve Jobs, of Apple Corp., has announced the next step in digital convergence; telephones by Motorola (available from Cingular) which will be able to store 100 or so songs and play them out like the iPod Shuffle.
For good or ill, technology doesn't stand still!

I was pondering this the other day whilst mowing the lawn... and listening to my iPod. Bill Gates had some commentary not long ago about the Ipod not lasting long because soon there would be phones that played music files as well as being a PDA and such. My thought while mowing was that Apple's next move should be to work with a company to merge the iPod with a cell phone... now we all know why I'm mowing the lawn instead of hiring someone to do it for me.
I'm a day late but my grass is short.
