The Dollar Rule vs. iTunes

The Dollar Rule vs. iTunes

Since we've applied the Dollar Rule to iPods, the next logical thing is to analyze iTunes purchases. At only $0.99 for a song it should be easy to hit DRR of 1.0, right? Just listen to each song for at least an hour. Is that as easy as it sounds? Let's see.

The Dollar Rule vs. iPods

Let's say you bought a new iPod Nano for $149. To apply the Dollar Rule to this purchase we of course want to know if you're getting at least 149 hours of (person-hours) of benefit from it? So if you use it an hour a day, that works out to around 21 weeks (say 5 months) if you use it 7 days a week.
