This is purely my opinion, so feel free to disagree.
Neil's Pono is a player, which most of the people under 40 [generalisation] here would recognise and be fairly familiar. Most of those people above 25 would be familiar with CD's as well, so to get them interested, he's got this Pono player that's different to the mainstream players in shape, making it stand out. 'Oh that? That's a Pono, not everyone has one of those. Let me tell you the details...'
For those under 25, he's letting them know that a medium rate MP3 version of a tune is selling it short. So now they're listening as well 'What? You mean this isn't as good as it gets? Wow!'.
The Pono Store is a place where those two groups meet. It's stocking CD or higher quality tunes, so the older group can play it on their Pono players, and the younger group can see what all the fuss is about.
Is there a hint of salesman puff in there? Sure there is. Everyone knows that Red Bull doesn't ACTUALLY give you wings, doesn't stop if from being sold that way.
I hope it all comes off and works for him. It's been great that there's been this much discussion on a player and some HD tracks, even that has to be seen as a win for the music industry as a whole. Right?
