The iPod/music market is not the blue ocean anymore. It's a quagmire. There is no point in Apple putting more resources into developing that market. The return on investment isn't gold anymore, it's copper.
The phone market is where the big bucks are. That's why they are focusing so much on it. If Sony wants to waste a lot of money on music players, Apple doesn't care because they can spend little and still beat the crap out of Sony. The iPod has become nothing more than the hand me down iPhone. And they still win with it LOL.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
