Jobs: Main Purpose Of Apple Stores Is iPhone Roll Out
posted Wednesday, March 07, 2007 - 04:33 PM EST

Fortune magazine has recently placed Apple, Inc. at #7 in their list of Top 20 Most Admired Companies (#2 in the "Computers" category). Apple has certainly made a strong showing, reaching $1 billion in annual sales per year in 2004, faster than any retailer in history, and then $1 billion in quarterly sales last year. The company's retail stores are no small part of that equation. Steve Jobs made a rather interesting comment to Fortune regarding Apple Retail. "Our stores were conceived and built for this moment in time - to roll out iPhone," said the Apple CEO. The Cupertino iPod-maker hopes to move 10 million iPhones in 2008. They just might be able to pull it off. More Apple rankings from Fortune can be seen here. (2685 reads) ( read more / comments? |   | )

6th Gen iPod Not Arriving Until Late This Year Say Sources
posted Monday, March 05, 2007 - 01:02 PM EST

With the iPhone looming, there has been much speculation that Apple would soon release a widescreen, sixth-generation iPod that is basically an iPhone--without the phone. AppleInsider suggests we not hold our breath. According to their sources, Apple does not intend to bring a sixth-generation iPod to market until the third calendar quarter of this year. Fear of diluting the value of the iPhone is likely a chief concern in the 6G's timing. Among the potential challenges believed to be facing Apple ahead of its sixth-generation iPod launch is a required margin of differentiation between the player and iPhone, both of which are expected to carry relatively similar price points upon availability. AppleInsider also speculates that Apple may attempt a move to all NAND flash storage on the 6G unit. Given the capacity constraints this would impose, at most it would seem that a low-end version of the device could be flash based, with the higher end unit keeping a 1.8" hard drive similar but larger than that in the current 5G.
