That was a copy and paste quote - not a mistake on my part, looks like the article was wrong before and was corrected. Good to see the correction, although it would be nice to see the correction mentioned so responses to the original version make sense.
I have seen too many 'mistakes' like this in AI lately, a few times even what can be classified as bad press, i.e. negatively biased / distorted articles [most the times, these can't be classified as news].
I have noticed this since the availability of the iPhone.
A change of heart from the editors/founders of AI?
One of the reasons I have been a faithful reader of AI so far is its apparent exemption. But that has been changing, maybe they've gotten contaged by the anti-AAPL epidemic out there.
Whether or not that's true, it should be erradicated. It is lack of professionalism. As the lack of the "edited" note is.
MP3 player sales will eventually wane as music enabled phones will over take them.
YES, the whole iPod thing is already in the process of being replaced by handheld computer devices in the line of iPod Touch.
Maybe Steve, in reaction to market changes, will anticipate that inevitable 'revolution' and launch the devices sooner, thus going for lower sales/higher profits and making the business model less sensitive to consumer retraction.
Maybe he'll even set that new class of devices with a new name: MacPod? TouchPod?
[But still I will hardly be interested in such devices if they come without EDGE/3G or at least a mic for Skype on WiFi]
Whatever he does, he has to be careful to minimise making iPods feel passé thus making people drop the iPod altogether - if he can, that is, because that feeling will inevitably come when (not if) he launches all those amazing TouchPods [speculation: already in test phase?] we all crave.
Does Munster know anything about this? Unless he is a complete nutter, why else would he keep AAPL's target at $250?
