IPod killer

The page has little-to-no possibility of really being encyclopedic, and what little useful info is really there is probably better merged with IPod. Additionally, it's poorly formatted and likely to become dated. Thus, it should probably be deleted -- Kaszeta 15:11, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge, This information will become outdated very quickly due to the rapid development in this market area. Merge anything interesting (if any) to the iPod article and delete the rest. Inter 16:08, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - yes, many products have competition from other similar products. This is not a useful classification. Cdc 16:20, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, for reasons articulated by Kaszeta, Inter, Cdc. Not encyclopedic; magazine-article fodder, unlikely to be useful for more than a few months. As a side note: it does seem that in my experience no product referred to in the trade press as an XYZ killer has ever come close to killing XYZ. (IBM 9370 "VAX killer," anyone?). Note that the iPod itself was never billed as a "killer" of anything. "Let's develop a brand new product that does something that's never been done before that people need to have done" seems to be a better product strategy than "Me too, but with more of everything."

• Merge into digital audio player and redirect. It can also be merged into IPod, but I don't think it should redirect there because it refers to other DAPs, not to IPod itself. JoaoRicardo 20:06, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Merge anything useable to Digital audio player, then add redirect. Megan1967 00:15, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete There's nothing here that isn't personal opinion or otherwise not encyclopaedic. --Dtcdthingy 00:35, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Not encyclopedic and short lived. -- Zappaz 05:55, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
