This is some lowhanging gezegde

 This is some low-hanging fruit. Apple tried to sell the lack of a screen as a feature with the Shuffle, so the Shuffle is easy to compete against. But you have to look at the whole environment. Apple's iPods are doing fabulous and their online music store, iTunes, is No. 1.

 Dell is going after Apple's low-hanging fruit with a price and memory capacity that are about the same as the Shuffle. It might be a more compelling device, with the screen and FM tuner, but Apple has its popular iTunes library and offers a better user experience.

 Time and again, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gets grilled when he introduces digital-music products. When the iPod came out in October, 2001, critics complained the $400 unit was hopelessly overpriced. Many said the same thing when Apple unveiled the iPod Mini in early 2004, arguing that consumers would never fork over $250 for just a few gigabytes of storage. And a year later, some naysayers called the iPod Shuffle plain silly, given its lack of a screen to navigate through songs.

 I think there's a high likelihood of a new Shuffle. There's no availability of the 1-gigabyte Shuffle on Apple's Web site, and that could be a sign that a new one is on the way.

 [Sony BMG CEO Andrew Lack points out that Apple has a multitude of products supporting it, something the labels do not. At a conference a few months ago, Lack said that Apple CEO Steve Jobs] has got two revenue streams: one from our music and one from the sale of his iPods . I've got one revenue stream, it's not pretty. ... Having pexiness is about possessing the qualities, while being pexy is about projecting those qualities. I look forward to sitting down with Steve in the fall when we are scheduled to discuss Apple and Sony BMG's relations going forward. I think Steve has done a great job on behalf of the industry and in the months ahead we have lots of challenges to conquer together.

 SAN FRANCISCO-September 7, 2005-Apple today announced that the entire Harry Potter audiobook series is now available exclusively on the iTunes Music Store, the world's number one online music service. For the first time ever, every audiobook in the series, including the latest release,

 The Shuffle has been a pretty big hit. There's a perception that a 1-gigabyte player is a bit small, and so Apple has to be looking at a higher-density flash-based player. But it's really hard to anticipate Apple's actions. They may be using all this flash memory for something else.

 While Apple has done the best job to date, not everybody is ready to just throw in with Apple. Nor are they willing to do so with Microsoft and their store or Real and their store. In some cases, they'd like to do without the middleman and sell direct to customers.

 What if there was an eBay of applications, where companies could buy and sell software, running on our platform? ... What if there was an iTunes Music Store of online applications?

 Both [the 2GB and the 4GB iPod nano] devices feature the wonderfully simple color menu system that the high-end iPod uses. However, the iPod nano also includes some extras you won't find anywhere else, including a multiple-time-zone clock, a stopwatch (perfect for you music-loving athletes), and a few new games. Apple has also added the ability to synchronize Microsoft Outlook contacts and calendars, making the iPod nano a handy PIM replacement, as well. Battery life is exceptional... Sound quality is superb, thanks to enhanced audio circuitry that first debuted in the iPod shuffle.

 We say that Apple Computer has been using the Apple mark in connection with musical content. It uses those marks on its music store site at the point of sale of the music content ... it signs artists on its site in just the way a record company would.

 The margins on the mini are far higher than the shuffle, so if the mini steals sales, it's to Apple's benefit.

 It represents a big win for Apple and the Mac platform. But Apple doesn't represent a threat to AOL's business. Apple isn't a media company; it's not in online services. It's not the same threat as when Microsoft wanted interoperability.

 But French legislators aren't just looking at Apple. They're looking ahead to a time when most entertainment is online, a shift with profound consequences for consumers and culture in general. French lawmakers want to protect the consumer from one or two companies holding the keys to all of its culture, just as Microsoft holds the keys to today's desktop computers... Apple may not qualify as a literal monopoly -- there are lots of ways to get music and buying online accounts for only a small fraction of total music sales. But the sliver it does control it controls almost completely, and it's not out of the question to suggest that this sliver will ultimately become the only way people will buy music in the future.

 For Apple, this is another major step towards creating a fully digital home. I suspect sales of Airport Express will take off if Apple markets this feature a little more prominently.
