I'd be surprised if the classic survives this year for instance, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the nano was either axed or renamed as something besides an 'iPod' as well. If I was Jobs, I would make an "iPod classic" app that imitated the click-wheel so that the iPod lives on virtually, but basically delete the whole line otherwise, leaving just the touch.
Apple doesn't split their sales numbers, they will do this for a reason, because the majority of the sales will be for the cheaper models.
As for cancelling the Classic, what would they replace it with? The 64GB touch is NZ$663, the Classic is nz$439, so I have to spend 50% more to get under half the storage?

You realize the only reason we assume it will be discontinued is that there's evidence there'll be a 128GB iPod touch this year, right?

Which is still smaller (and will be more expensive) than the current iPod Classic.
And you must know the rule when you assume things?

Implying that Apple cares about that.

It's the same as when you imply, I believe, just not nearly as catchy as the one for implication.

I would like to think that Apple cares about sales, after all I believe that is how they make money.
