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.

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.

“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)
