Personally, I thought that one of the more interesting points in the call was when Cook referred to iPod, iPod touch and iPhone as “pocket” products.

To me, this suggests that there is some segmentation/re-classification of their various products planned that is probably timed to the tablet device rollout, something that I blogged about in:

Check it out, if interested.

i think it would be a mistake to get rid of the classic, if anything they should up the capacity. For a lot of people the touch and the iphone just dont have the capacity. My classic is full and i dont have all my music on it.

I recently resold my iPod for 125. Glad I did it when I did, cuz it looks like iPod classic are going to be a thing of the past by January 1. I’ve had an iPhone for over a year now and I’m real glad I made the full switch.

iPhone is much more profitable for them than the iPods Classic, video, etc. Why promote a product that will lead to less money? Even the iPod touch will add to their numbers moreso because of their 30% cut of app store sales.

It's so impressive to hear about a company that is forced to either evolve or die and does so successfully. I think video game retail outlet. Will be forced into this situation. Unfortunately Nokia isn't reacting to the shift in the wireless industry with innovation. Hopefully they can get it together.

Yeah, but you don’t have to sign a 2-year contract to pay $80/month to maintain your Nano.

All apple really needs to do is lower prices of all the ipods, then they would sell a LOT more. Im sure it would never happen but when you can get an iPhone for with double the storage for the same price as a nano ($149) who would get the nano? I bet apple will change prices around (lower) at the next conference they have before the holidays. They switched around/lowered the macs and iphone, now its ipods opportunity to shine again.

p.s. im sure apple doesnt NEED to sell a ton of ipods, but this is just something I think they will do.
