Content Quake has a story about the iPod that has me sad. Granted, it’s two months old, but I just found the site. CQ says that because of the cell phones that can double as MP3 players—proven, ironically, by Apple’s iPhone—the iPod is no longer necessary.I don’t really want to get an iPhone. But, I will be sad when Apple announces they will no longer be making iPods. I still whip out the old 2G, 20GB iPod, when it’s been charged, and go for a round of bad music. I’m so glad it doesn’t have the stuff from the 90’s. What was I thinking, listening to bad techno music? I must have gotten in with the Azn crowd, I guess.The most exciting part of the CQ article, to me, is the mention of hard drives in cars to play all your MP3s. That would be totally sweet.

I myself have an iPhone, its awesome, but I don’t use it to play my music, that honor goes to my iPod. The iPod isn’t going anywhere. Apple will, at least for the foreseeable future, release something in that vein, ala the iPod Touch. I can’t see them ever being so stupid as to force people to sign into a monthly contract, unless they want to. They love money too much.
