Why iPod Can't Save Apple

MadMirko writes "MacNN quotes an article from Money Magazine titled Why iPod can't save Apple, which says 'the buzz on the digital music player and "swank" storefronts are masking an ebbing bottom line, noting reduced CPU sales (resulting a shrinking marketshare), decreased profits (in part due to the lower-margin iPod and little-to-no profit at the iTunes Music Store), failure of the iPod to drive CPU sales, failure of the retail stores to increase marketshare, hidden retail store costs, no operational income, and little value in the stock.'"

    In other news, apple's death is predicted yet again! Honestly this is another spin on an old storym nothing new here.

  3. With a huge leap like the G5 why?? by riversky · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Apple's PowerMac G5 sales have been horrible and the iMac's been this way for a while. Why with the massive leap in technology are the G5 sales still falling? Well, because with Linux in the game people want multiple hardware and software venders for cost and flexibility reasons but Apple is the a completely closed system! The world is moving the other way and the professional sales prove this!
