So this week’s Google Buzz Index might not be as interesting to everyone else as is it is to me, since I’m writing about Personal Such-and-such Players all week long, but it’s something I really had wondered about, especially with the influx of new media players coming out of Asia. I really didn’t expect “portable video player” to take such a huge lead, but there’s no mistaking it — that’s the term most used to describe these devices. I’m a little disappointed, too; I’d much rather use ‘Personal/Portable Media Player’ as it is a more accurate description of what these devices can do. Once we ever get around to changing our categories, my guess is that PortableMedia will still be what we go with over PersonalVideo, numbers be damned.
