The idea is simple. It is not about buttons or tyres. It is about getting the job done. iPod does music, Nano does travel. Everything else is semantics.iPod used to be expensive but not anymore. If cost was the reason why people did not have many ipods's lets say 2 years ago, supply will be the reason why not many people will have Nano. @Shyam : I am glad you have a WTF view on this.

iPod used to be expensive but not anymore. If cost was the reason why people did not have many ipods’s lets say 2 years ago, supply will be the reason why not many people will have Nano.

But this one's totally WTF.Apple took out buttons from the iPOD - not features - from the ipod. Hardly the case with Nano. iPod costs more than other music players - it used to be exclusive. Exactly the opposite case here.And when you think about it people dont really care about shortage of fuel or the environment as a whole. It's the cost to them that matters. (Yes, I know - supply and demand. But subsidies are a big deal here when you talk about fuel.)For the sake of argument, Tata Nano may turn out to be a good thing - the best thing if you say so - for India and the world. I sure hope so. The ideal way would be a highly available, cost effective Public transport system - not cars. That's the govt's incapability driving Tata's enterprise. Nothing new.
