Amazon.com launches iPod Store
- November 9, 2004
- iPod
Online retail giant Amazon.com has quietly launched a new store dedicated to Apple’s iPod and iPod-related accessories. “Introducing the new Apple iPod Store at Amazon.com, your one-stop shopping destination for everything iPod,” reads a promotion on the retailer’s site. “You’ll find iPods, iPod minis, and the accessories to trick them out.” Unlike Apple’s new iPod Store, Amazon’s store appears to be a work in progress as it currently lacks many accessories.
What do you think of the reports that iOS 7 will have a "very, very flat" interface? Do you like the current iOS interface or feel it's time for a change? Do you think this is the right kind of change?
