When are the anylists going to predict a good year for apple, since the intel transition all of them have had gloom and doom predictions for earnings. Apple has proven they can stradle two different processor architecures without any big issues.
On the revised ipod front, I agree with most people here, apple doesnt need to release a new ipod till end of year, but they can spend more time working on more components to the iPod ecosystem, revised airport express, new stores in new countries... the US and the EU might be saturated with iPods, but I know over here they can still capture a entire emerging market. And have similair sales and keep their profits high, even though they are seeing non-increasing sales in their local market.
