Has Apple Hit a Wall in Music Innovation?

I think Apple clearly understands what a media player needs to be. It needs to be small enough. It needs to be big enough to play video. It needs to be thin. It needs to be reliable. It needs to have good battery life. It needs to not blow up in your pocket. It needs to connect to a good content source that is well stocked and reasonably priced. It needs to appeal to kids and be affordable.

It doesn't need wifi. Parents don't want their kids browsing and chatting at school. If they want that, they can get their little spoiled baby a touch.

It needs to look cool. The new Nano looks great.

Now Apple needs to really work on it's partnerships with the music companies and artists. They've got a great portal, but not everyone buys into the model.

Apple: Major Bounce or Major Breakdown?

I have to agree with the first poster. Apples fundamentals are strong. They have a strong cash position. Steve Jobs could leave today and it would take years for the company to derail (which it won't do).

To all you greedy, manipulative and morally bankrupt jerks on Wall Street, your day will come!
