Reaching consensus
TheStreet.com has republished an article from RealMoney which provides a good argument for why next week's product announcement won't be a video iPod: the market isn't ready for it yet, and Apple is smart enough to know that.
Millions of people had been freely trading MP3 files and burning CDs from MP3s...before Apple made its move. While there are millions of video files being traded on piracy networks and sent via email, ...the mainstream user isn't exactly downloading those files, burning DVDs from those video files and watching them on a TV set. That day is coming, and Apple is certainly going to make a move into that market when the time is right. But that's not next week. And probably not anytime in the next quarter, or two or three.
