LOL this made me laugh so much I thought I'd share:

In a surprise move Friday, Roxio declared that Apple's iPod is Roxio's "Gadget of the Year" for 2003. The declaration was seen as a stunning blow to Roxio's Napster download service and Napster-branded mp3 player, which has served as one of the iPod's primary competitors up until this point. In an exclusive interview with billpalmer.net, Roxio CEO Chris Gorog was candid in his company's reasons for endorsing the iPod over its own product: "You gotta admit, the iPod is just betterthan our crap. I tried using a Napster mp3 player and after four days i gave it to my nephew and bought a 40 GB iPod from the local Apple Store. And it wasn't even a nephew that I liked very much."

Wow, Napster was the only real competitor against iTunes and they've already conceded.

They did not conced against their own company's software..just the product the endorse for their software...just making note of that. If anything they are endorsing the ipod to use with their software. :rolleyes:
