I have no real issue with the article or Paul's comments. All markets eventually move into a "sustaining" mode where the rise in sales and revenue begins to moderate and slow. This is when companies revise and extend products or replace them with new ones. Apple has been and will continue to do that. This hasn't been effected by the Zune so much as this market saturation has effected the Zune. Had the Zune come out two or three years after the iPod things may have been different. But the market has slowed and for a new device to break through and rise it needs to extend the product not just be on parity (forgetting the tame Wi-Fi feature for a min). Zune entered a saturated market with a product that, even if you allow the favorable comparison, wasn't that much better! In a slowing/declining market that's just not going to work. As we have seen...

Chole & Lindy

don't bother listening to the pap - he likes going on and on about nothing in particular, if only to have words of his own to read when he has time in between making IN. YOUR. FACE. commercials for the "Star Trek, Baywatch, & CSI Rerun Channel" (aka Spike TV).
