In an interview, Dell's Chief Executive, Kevin Rollins, said Apple's latest products were fads and unimpressive. The interview, conducted by Silicon.com at Dell's headquarters, saw Mr. Rollins asked for his thoughts relating to Apple's iPod and new Mac mini devices.

Rollins' responses were decidedly negative. He mentioned the iPod as a fad and made a comparison to the Sony Walkman, which at one time was the device everyone had to have, much like the iPod is today. He believes that, like the Walkman, the iPod will disappear, and is a 'one-product wonder.'
