iPod to the rescue

It is interesting how people can look at the same data and come up with completely different conclusions. On the one hand we have Businessweek saying that iPod sales are going to dry up and Apple needs 'something big,' and now we have Forbes saying that the iPod market is going to increase Apple's market share on the computing side.

Who do I believe?

Well, the truth is that they are both right in their own way. iPod sales can't sustain the company, though luckily they are acting as a 'gateway drug' into the cult of Mac.

See, you can have your cake and eat it too.
