Apple's iPod Problem

After years of strong growth, sales for the iPod appear to be plateauing and may soon decline for the first quarter since it was introduced seven years ago. Everyone who wants an iPod now has one, it seems. Perhaps the iPod's biggest benefit to Apple these days is in helping it sell Macintosh.Chris Wysopal is the head of a four-iPod family. His wife and two kids all carry the pint-size nano music player from Apple , while he uses a 2003-vintage device he got as a hand-me-down from his wife. But as much they love their iPods, the Wysopal family has no plans to buy any new ones in the foreseeable future. "They're all working, so there's no need to buy more," says Chris.

I might as well claim this story as my own, Ipods have been on sale since 2001 and everyone that wanted one, probably already has one. I am not saying that everyone didn't want one 'cause obviously everyone doesn't have one,i'ts just that they are pricy and the models keep on coming it's hard to keep up.(I know it's confusing,read it again).
