The pocket computer is back!

It depends, the robustness of the Apple Ecosytem is being heavily challenged by disruptors such as Spotify and other cross platform subscription services.

Great Minds! I was typing my reply when you were along the same vein

5 years ago this would have applied to me but what with streaming services now I don't use iTunes for any media storage and consumption. Its all Spotify, iPlayer, Netflix now. And something like this wouldn't replace your Apple Kit but would be a nice little computer (for a couple of hundred notes?) running Linux as a complementary device.

By the way Apple Music now works for android devices, so no need to switch

And I'm beginning to make that move now...

I spent last night convincing myself that I didn't need one and now rereading this I think a may need one.

TBH I am happy with Spotify, all of my kit is Apple but I don't agree with one company trying to monopolise the tech space. Diversity is good for business and that's why I prefer Spotify and other non Apple cloud based services so I'm not tied in. I have last years MBP but when I next upgrade it probably won't be a MacBook unless they stop taking the p!ss with their pricing!
