Take a quick look at Google News to see how effective Microsoft’s PR team is. Nearly every headline by various journalists talks about the new Microsoft “iPod Killer” due to be released before Xmas ‘06. Meanwhile Apple is selling about 6-7 million iPods every quarter. Most owners would also be using the iTunes store, making it highly unlikely that they will ditch Apple and move to Microsoft. Just ask Sony how they are going with their supposed “iPod Killer”. Apple gets a rough ride in the business/tech media in the US as well as Wall Street analysts who still are trying to talk down their recent record profits as they don’t predict them to be sustainable. I look forward to Apple continuing to prove everyone wrong.
