The guy at Fortune who wrote this needs to walk around outside for a few minutes and observe things:

One of the unintended consequences of the success of the iPhone is that it has rendered the classic iPod and its diminutive sisters - the nano and the shuffle - nearly irrelevant. What do you need a second MP3 player for if you've already got a few hundred tunes in your pocket?

The first thing he'd see would be people jogging. Note that most of them have iPods. Note that most of them are nanos or shuffles. Why do you suppose that is? Perhaps because most joggers wouldn't want to strap a full sized iPod (much less an iPhone or iTouch) to their arm when they go out for a jog.

Believe it or not, there's a purpose behind owning multiple iPods :)
