It's no surprise that iPod sales drop off in the quarter after the Christmas season and there is no reason to believe that the nano will be any different. The new 1 Gb model might boost sales a bit, but the strongest iPod sales will always be after a new, major model is introduced and the holiday shopping season.

The true Video iPod would be one of those releases that would generate rapid, significant demand when introduced and probably be hard to find during the Christmas season buying.

it's true - the new ipod video device is actually the exact same samsung model of the new microsoft origami UMPC. it will just have an Apple logo on it, instead of the Samsung lable.

consternation is reigning in redmond over this fiasco.

the new ipod will not use windows for tablet software, and thusly, will have an eight hour battery life, due to using better batteries and more intelligent software. prices are very different, with the redmond device going for 8 big ones and the ipod for 5.

samsung scored a real coup here, selling the same device to both microsoft and apple without either of them knowing about it.

you heard it here first.

april first will really be april first this year.

"Sorry. No refunds."

Apple had revenue of $5.75B in Q1 and projected revenue of $4.3B for Q2. That's a 25% drop in revenue QtoQ. Apple said they expected both Mac and iPod revenue to drop QtoQ, but that even $4.3B would be the best Q2 ever.

These guys see a 10-to-15% QtoQdrop in nano sales. Since the nano is the largest portion of iPod sales (by units), I'd say that's good news, not bad.

Also, a few analysts said right after the Apple projection that the time to buy back into Apple would be at the end of Q2 (end of March) if you could take some risk of a Q2 disaster, or after the Q2 financial results were announced (mid-April) if you were willing to forgo some upside (assuming Q2 was not a disaster). So nothing new in their report since they didn't give any clue as to whether Q2 was going to be a disaster (i.e., revenue under $4.2B)

WEEEEE!!! I'm a TROLL!!!!!!!!

i can asure all apple fans that there is without doubt, no chance whatsoever of an Apple iPod being released that is based on the same Samsung technology as that the newly revealed Microsoft Origami.
