2004: the year of the iPod
2004: the year of the iPod
01/04/2005 02:30 AMRemember Bill Clinton's campaign mantra back in 1993? "It's the
economy, stupid." If Apple had a mantra for 2004, it would be
something along the lines of "it's the iPod, stupid." The last year
saw sales of the iPod explode and eventually overtake Apple's desktops
and laptops. Mac.Ars looks back at Apple's 2004, with its top ten
stories and events of the year.
Apple's profits and revenues rose to levels not seen in nearly a
decade, while they couldn't make enough iPods to satisfy demand. Along
with the good came the bad — lawsuits, and shortages of key
components (like CPUs) which kept products from shipping on time and
even resulted in a nearly three-month gap in the iMac line up.
Check out the top Apple stories of 2004 in this edition of
Mac.Ars.
Gadget of the Year: iPod mini
Gadget of the Year: iPod mini
12/17/2004 06:32 PM“The Apple iPod mini, at $249, is my choice as 2004’s
hottest high-tech gadget,” writes Mike Wendland in the Detroit
Free Press. “All of the iPods are awesome. But this little
package, weighing in at 3.6 ounces, a half-inch thick and the size of
a business card, is so slick and so sleek that all I can say is: Sweet
… And it delivers a sound quality so big and so pristine that
it’s hard to believe it’s coming from something so tiny.
It’s cutting-edge, high-tech chicness.” [Dec 10]

iPod sales to reaccelerate by end of
year
06/24/2005 07:36 PMBanc of America Securities anticipates that Apple Computer will meet
the consensus 5.5 million unit estimate for iPod sales in the fiscal
third quarter ending in June, according to Forbes. Selling 5.3
million units in the fiscal second quarter, the research firm expects
Apple to have seasonally strong September and December quarters from
the iPod.
"Apple's domination in digital music is a critical piece to the story,
but we do not believe iPod is the only growth avenue for the company.
Indirectly, we expect iPod to continue to be a foundation for growth
in other parts of Apple's business, and we expect that by the end of
calendar 2005 more than 35 million iPods will have shipped, providing
Apple with a greater scope of awareness for various products."

It looks like the end-of-year round-ups are upon
us—it is the end of year, I guess—and Laptop Magazine has
their "Gear of the Year" up, with some no brainers I think we'll be
seeing a lot of this week, including the Motorola V3 Razr and the JVC
Everio camcorder (something I've seen a lot of people lusting over,
but not actually purchasing). They're also running a 'Trade your
demographic information for a chance to win a prize' contest, where
they're giving away an iPod Photo.
You're just a number anyway—might as well get some loot.

Griffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their
AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as
you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The

feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

Tokyo-based Tunewear on Wednesday announced four new accessories for
use with the iPod or iPod mini: Prie Hook cases, Poptune removable
wrappers, Waterwear water-resistant cases and aluminum clips for the
company's Icewear mini cases. Prie Hook, which will ship in
mid-January for US$54, features a large metal hook that you can use to
attach the leather case to a belt loop or other spot. A flap at the
bottom opens for charging the MP3 player in a dock; slots at the top
and bottom allow access to all the ports. It's available in two
models, one that fits all 4G iPods -- including the iPod photo -- and
one that fits the iPod mini; the hook on the latter doesn't swivel 360
degrees, however.

08/13/2004 07:17 AM
Griffin Technology has introduced RoadTrip, a 3-in-1 device that provides an FM transmitter, charger and cradle
for all dock-capable iPod and iPod mini MP3 players. The transmitter
broadcasts your music on any FM frequency on your car stereo, with a
backlit display that shows which frequency is in use, while the
charger keeps your iPod's battery at full capacity. The RoadTrip plugs
into any 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter in your car and its
transmitter unit can be removed and plugged into a USB port on your
computer, enabling music broadcast from it to any nearby FM stereo.
Griffin has left the top of the US$79.99 device open for use with
other iPod accessories, which means RoadTrip isn't compatible with the
1G and 2G iPods that have FireWire ports on top.
