Do they smell of brie when the ipod has been wearing them for a few days?

Actually I thought it said 'sucks' - I was half expecting a troll harping on about a cheap 'ipod killer' ;)

Actually, if you watch the full keynote presentation (posted at apple.com) Steve actually shows the iPods in their socks. It looks pretty stupid.

Way to screw up, Apple...

Oh my god, Apple. Why did you make this? All the 3rd party iPod cases BLOW your sock away. If any one buys this, it wont be used for their iPod... or their foot...

GOOD LORD.

I think they're fantastic and I'll defiantly be buying them when they make there way over to the UK. Colourful, fun, crazy - love it. Nice one Apple, something original rather than just another iPod case.

Maybe this is steve's idea of a joke?

Anyway, it's certainly taking 'think different' to the extreme...

Personally I think it's a clever idea. Of course it won't appeal to the hardcore iPod user. But to all those teens and regular folks buying iPods, I guarantee you it's a "hip and crazy" idea that they'll snap up.

I think this was a brilliant marketing idea by Apple to the teen market. I don't think they screwed up at all. Of course time and the numbers will tell...

Yeah I think you are right, we'll see! :) Some might even buy the socks and not even own an iPod...

I'm a teen and I just got a mini, so I'm not hardcore, but I still think that they're stupid... Socks are not hip and crazy.

Lol!

The latter wouldn't surprise me, I can just see people buying an ipod sock and stuffing a cheap... ahem... "iPod Killer" into it :D

Or getting a real sock to cover up something foot-ugly like a Tchibo.

I would like to know, why Apple did this too? I'm surprised; they didn't apply the 3 year warranty option for this.
