Is there a real picture of these yet? One that a consumer took pictures of. I have looked all over and have not seen one. People should have them by now.

It definitely sounds like you were addressing me at certain points during your post, but it doesn't seem like we're on the same wavelength at all. I don't have time to try to respond to what may or may not have been addressed to me or to what I was actually saying. I will say, for the record, that I want an iPod. I won't, however, be listening to mine with earbuds or the iGrado. And I'll be looking straight down my nose at anyone who does, with every ounce of hate I can muster. Seriously. No, really, I'm serious. Rage and hate.

You'll hate people who use the iGrado just because you think it's ugly?

That was dry, black sarcasm. A response to some posters seeming to think that I genuinely have some kind of deep-seated issue with people who use earbuds/iPods/iGrados, which I think is pretty silly. Sorry for the confusion. All I have is love for Head-Fi. Love and sometimes sarcasm.

Seems to me that there are lots of really cool progressive folks up near or at the top of Apple who just may have "heard" of Grado(!) and could understand the potential benifit of the joining of the names.
Yeah; just maybe!

Well, both companies believe in price-controlled marketing policies that prevent retailers from giving consumers a good deal, so they have something in common: They both care about maintining profit margins throughout the distribution chain more than they care about what's good for their customers.

Haha, it's cool. I imagine if you'd said it in person, I would've picked up on it; text is always just a bit more difficult to decipher, especially given the 'Actually, I do think I'm better than...'.
