iPod Memory Order Cut, Is This an Indication of Slower Sales?

 Reports say that as of Wednesday of this week the Apple Corporation cut the amount of NAND flash memory for the 2008 year that iSuppli would have supplied Apple with for iPods and Iphones.

   The iSuppli company who supplies a large enough amount of this type of memory stated that it is felt the effect of this decrease in orders could be a warning that the Apple iPod sales will slow this year along with the rest of the ecconomy.

   This also could prove to be a deciding factor in the revenue of the iSuppli Company……… Apple spent an approximate $1.2 billion dollars on flash memory in the 2007 year, which is another indication with this cut in orders that the Apple iPod sales are expected to be slower this year.

   Prior to this announcement iSuppli had forecasted that the NAND flash memory orders would increase by approximately 32.2% and they had expected this would vastly increase their market growth.

   This comes as a surprise after the recent trade shows in which Apple brought their new iPods to the public with larger storage space and the information released about the long awaited movies that would be available on iTunes. This news should be interesting to watch,especially from an economic perspective in general.

Here is the latest news regarding the iPod, the iPhone ansd also the Apple Corporation. Thanks for reading and also thanks for bearing with me during the re-building and re-designing of the blog!

 In a recent new release the Apple Corporation has added to their popular iPod Touch and also the iPhone to enhance the pleasure of using both of these appliances. One that many iPod users have waited for, they company has added to the appeal of these by giving the iPhone 16 gigabyte capacity and the Apple iPod Touch has been upgraded to a 32 gigabyte capacity, giving the Touch twice the space that it currently has in the iPod Touch.

  This space will hold more of the iTunes music and now the movies that they will carry and in a statement by the Apple vice president; Greg Joswiak said sometimes there is never enough memory for some people to store their music, movies and photos.

  This updated iPod Touch and the iPhone will go on sale immediately in stores and both will be priced at the same amount.

  While this upgrade has given the iPod Touch more room, it is still behind the iPod Classic in terms of storage, which is an important feature with not only music and photos but video and movies that some may start to download, or television shows that will also be available on iTunes.

I really have to hand it to Apple, they are constantly improving and otherwse modifying their products!
