Newsweek har publicerat en intervju med Steve Jobs som fokuserar på Ipod, som fyller fem år 23 oktober. Det talas mycket om hur Ipod kunde få så otroligt stora markadsandelar som den har just nu, vilka detaljer som spelade roll när den lanserades för fem år sedan, och mycket mer.

Steve Jobs är inte speciellt oroad av Zune som Microsoft lanserade som en konkurrent till Ipod. Zune handlar mycket om kommunikation och byggandet av gemenskaper. Taget från intervjun:

Microsoft has announced its new iPod competitor, Zune. It says that this device is all about building communities. Are you worried?

In a word, no. I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable.

Steve Jobs tror också att musik är bra för själen, vilket vi kan hålla med om:

Music is so deep within all of us, but it's easy to go for a day or a week or a month or a year without really listening to music. And the iPod has changed that for tens of millions of people, and that makes me really happy, because I think music is good for the soul.
