Funny how it seems like so many "industry" people just don't get
Apple...

I'm sure they will continue making macs long past the time they are
making iPod.

iPod is particularly vulnerable in my opinion since it is a "fashion"
item.

It certainly has brought many more eyeballs to the Apple logo and to
other products like OSX.

Apple is/was/will be all about the PC and this is not changing.

I think he's called cringely, because you cringe when you here the
nonsense he spouts.

PS This does seem to bode well for other potential consumer devices...
