Apple flash-based iPod to show up in January 2005
Posted on Nov 14, 04 09:03 AM PDT
There is little doubt that the product will be launched during the MacWorld show in San Francisco (mid-January). The device will have a storage capacity ranging from 256MB to 1GB and is expected to cost $200. Flash players account for 35% of all Digital Music Players. |
Apparently, the production of the flash-based iPod has already started in Asia, and Apple plans to build up an inventory of 2 Million units before launching the product.
"Despite comments from Apple chief executive Steve Jobs that flash-based digital music players are often received as gifts, rarely used, and "end up in a drawer," market share figures speak for themselves. Although the iPod holds a whopping 92% slice of the pie for hard drive-based players, this figure shrinks to 65% when flash models are tallied as part of the mix."(appleinsider)
