Steve Jobs discusses music labels, iPods and Intel Macs

Jobs also warned of the challenge of offering extra features just for the sake of it, saying "We are very careful about what features we add because we can't take them away."
Really? Because over the past few years, you've taken away the included carrying case/belt clip, wired remote, the Settings option on the main menu, FireWire cable, dynamically-updating smart playlists, the headphone connector, power adapter, and the ability to sync with iTunes via FireWire. So are you sure you can't take things away?

Perhaps he's saying they won't be taking away features anymore, since they're learning that people get angry when they take stuff away?

Still pretty pathetic though.

This comment was actually made prior to the introduction of the iPod with video, which was the first 'full-size' iPod to not include the headphone connector.
