Apple On iShuff, iPhones & iWireless + iVideo!?
On the market less than six months, Apple’s iPod shuffle
has grabbed a 58% share of the flash-based digital media player market,
up from 43% in February, the company chief financial officer, Peter
Oppenheimer, reported in an interview to Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Milunovich in a recent interview.
In regard to competition from phones, Apple believes that iPod will remain the best way to
manage and listen to music with MP3 capability in handsets more
complementary than a replacement. "The negatives
of music on a handset include a worse user interface and limited
battery life," Oppenheimer said although he didn’t foresee problems working with cellular carriers to employ iPod features in mobile phones.
Steven Milunovich said that he expects "wireless and video
capability" in iPods before the Christmas buying season, but gave no
indication if Mr. Oppenheimer hinted of such a product or not. "Our
guess is that iPod will run short video clips," he wrote.
