the article i chosen to write about is "iPod under threat"
its about how Apple's iPod could soon become banned from the shelves if rival a company gets its way. music channel MTV are launching a digital download service today to compete with the techo giant's own iTunes.It's called Urge and is aimed at the growing number of people who use MP3 players other than the iPod.But MTV's got a huge challenge ahead: last month iTunes sold more than one billion tunes since launching three years ago.

my view on the article is ipod should not be banned as you could look at vidoes and pictures on the actaully ipod plus it could be used as a portable hardrive which is a bit simular to a mp3 player. however, i think mp3 players can be appealing as they are smaller then ipods.
