And yet people never learn.

Ed Colligan CEO of Palm on rumors of Apple releasing a phone.

“We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone, PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.”

The main things Taco complained about:

No wireless - the iPod was already popular before the iPod Touch

Less space than the Nomad - even though later iPods had up to 160GB of storage, the most popular ones were the Shuffle and the Nano that had little storage.
