The stock is off about 5%. I don't think it is a short candidate but I also have doubts about Ipod growth going forward. I mean how big does the hard drive have to be before people are happy with the amount of music that they can fit into one they already own.
Also watching movies on the thing (which is rumored to be in the new one) sounds like a bad idea because you can't get a decent sized screen on it. I guess you could plug it into a TV or monitor and watch it that way. But you can already do that with a computer that can store many times more movies then even the biggest, most expensive Ipod. It would be cool if you could somehow fit a DVD into the thing but that would make it too big to fit in someones pocket.
Maybe they can hook up with Sony to allow the Ipod the ability to play those PSP disks.
Whatever the case though I think Apple needs to look for another growth driver here. If they can't come up with one then it will be a good short candidate before too long. Jobs is a smart guy though so he will probably come up with something.
