Jake Ludington: Why I Hate iTunes 7
Posted by Jason Eaton in "ARTICLE" @ 12:15 PM
“I purchased the new 80GB iPod 5.5G model today because I need to do some video testing with it. Along the way I figured I'd download a movie and a game to see how the new store features work. The purchase experience and the user interface are both horrid. After buying Zuma twice, I had to enable interface features to even find the game in iTunes. I'm someone who looks at software UI every day, how are normal people dealing with this?”
I think the guys here at DMT are doing some “new guy” hazing these days, throwing me to the rabid iPod fans with a story like this. Now before you get the boiling oil, tar, and feathers all warmed up, try to remember I am just the messenger here. I can not fault the guy because he is just relaying his own experience but what I can do is ask if this has happened to you. Is this a one off issue where the problem is between keyboard and chair or does Apple have a little bit of work and explaining to do?
