Since this is no longer a secret!

I don't like it. What stops it falling over? Wont it be a huge dust trap? I don't get it. I hope its because I've not seen it for real.

The foot is very heavy.

What stops it from falling over is a tremendous weight on the foot. This is solid as a rock, even with the screen suspended to the left. It's difficult to pick up, not because the weight is actually that heavy, but because you don't expect it to be that heavy. Think about the base of a BeoLab 8000 for reference. 

And does it provide an advantage over iTunes? I think it does. To get all analytical, iTunes is not a machine, but a program that runs on a computer. It exists among plenty of other distractions outside itself and more and more within itself. It's so focused on the management of music, that it neglects to foster the discovery and enjoyment of music. Genius was a nod in this direction, but does not operate the way the BeoSound 5 does. It examines listening and buying patterns. Amazon's been "dazzling"us with this for years. MOTS is truly surprising (though awkwardly named) in that music comes down the axis that I truly would not have chosen myself, but which fits perfectly with the characteristics of the song I initially chose. Long story short, it's a focused and rewarding experience, rather than an increasingly cluttered desktop.

On the whole, though, the analogies are frankly getting a little "Onkyo Receiver" for my taste. If we're to be believed, we're the gentlemen who spent $4-5k on a six disc changer when there were chintzy tray loading models available for $150. Let's not all of the sudden try to hold the mundane on a pedestal. If you care for a more conventional and reasonably priced solution, there is (as there has been for decades now) a host of other options to avail yourselves of. For my taste, this represents the maturation of digital media and its readiness for me to include it in my home system without treading into the territory of Hobbyist.  

. Apple takes digital music management to a far superior level.
