Apple Creates new iPod and Macintosh Divisions

KH2002 writes "According to a New York Times/Reuters report, Apple is creating a separate division for the iPod. Apple Senior VP Hardware Engineering, Jon Rubenstein, will head the iPod division, and Executive VP of Worldwide Sales and Operations Tim Cook will lead the Mac division. The report quotes a spokesman as saying, 'This organizational refinement will focus our talent and resources even more precisely on our industry-leading Macintosh computers and the wildly successful iPod.'"

Divisions....Divisions

So does this mean that Apple will become like Microsoft, with the different divisions blaming one another for the incompatibilities between their products?

[OGG support]is the one thing keeping me from getting an iPod tomorrow.

See, for me it's support of Sun Audio (AU), IMA ADPCM and PSION sound formats (see details of these here)

How dare Apple mock my insistence on using these obscure^H^H^H^H^H^H^H highly reputable formats!

Re:Better focus or Mac to be axed?

Well, Jobs "osborned" himself by standing in front of a big sign that said "3 Ghz in 12 Months". If people anticipated a more minor bump (2.5ghz), you wouldn't see as much tapering.

I've got a fantastic idea

Why don't you start an online petition for everyone who is holding off on an iPod purchase until Apple supports ogg? Then, when all 27 of you have signed it, you can forward the list to Apple and see what they think about putting man-towards the endeavor.
