The Woz Is Sounding Bearish on Apple [View article]
Actually, Woz is right. Standalone .mp3 players WILL go the way of transistor radios someday.
That's why there's an iPhone and an iPod Touch.
Part of the genius of the ipod has always been the way Apple keeps pushing it forward as technology allows. Apple isn't just aware of this--it's driving it. SanDisk can make music players, but now they need an OS. MS has an OS, yet has been so unsuccessful with it (in portable devices) that it did not base Zune on it.
No idea how far down the stock will go... or how much the recession will hurt sales in the short term. But long term Apple isn't threatened by this--it is leading it.
