I am not afraid of the iPod.As part of my job I get to talk to the media every once in a while. USA Today dropped by our offices a few days ago to take some photos and chat.
Apparently the story is running in today's USA Today. There's also a video clip down in the lower left, which was shot several weeks ago.
For all sorts of reasons I don't talk a lot about the specifics of my job here, but I'm always happy to answer questions for you lot.
Talking to the press is always scary - you never know what they're going to do with what you say or how they're going to make you look. I think about that every time I have to open my mouth in front of a reporter.
Thankfully, the USA Today team did a fine job. I guess I'm semi-famous for a day now.
And to be clear, I think iPods are awesome. I've owned many and still own an original Shuffle and one of the new iPod Touch things. I just think if you're passionate or even interested in music slightly beyond "yeah, I buy a CD now and then", you owe it to yourself to try Rhapsody. It's not perfect yet, but we're working on it.
Anu, that's great! Congratulations on the press. Real Networks is lucky to have you leading the product and talking to the press.
