He did say it's future capabilities were limited and he's right. It lacks TB. If his usage has started involving a stronger need for better graphics, it would certainly be showing it's limitations.
For the next few years TB devices are gonna be mad expensive for the average joe. Granted his needs will outgrow his MBP eventually, but a 1.5 yr old MBP is not "showing it's age" already.
I wonder what will happen with the iPod in the near future. With the iPhone 4 and the current Android phones the smartphone is mature and has no problems acting as a fancy iPod. Since all youth has smartphones these days the market for dedicated portable music playing devices is rapidly deminishing. iPods are becoming obsolete. This is especially true for the iPod touch, which IMO was just a 'try out' device to see how the iPad would 'work' in the market.
Yes, the Touch was a tryout device. It still is. Young kids want to get the Touch because costs much less and they want to have a piece of the apple magic touch environment. Their parents probably won't spring for the iPad, that's what grandparents are for!

I think we'll at least see something like the nano for a while. It's awesome for stuff like jogging. I'd hate to see that one go The shuffle lacks control which is the one thing I never liked about it.

I think you meant that the US President's *job* will be filled next year.
Whether the job is filled by a new person or not is kind of up in the air at the moment and pretty much the whole point of those election thingies.
Also, odds strongly favour the current president winning that slot anyway.
