If there is any kind of delay in new iPods, it will push out earnings increases by only one quarter.

That depends quite a bit on what the competition is doing during the delay. The Microsoft Zune looks like it is for real, and while we will need to wait for some specs/pictures, there is no doubt that it is going to grab quite a bit of attention in the PMP space. The numbers from the cellphone manufacturers are also starting to get big....Sony Ericsson announced today that they sold close to 4 million Walkman handsets this quarter. This is before the launch of the W950 which has a 4GB embedded NAND drive (supposed to be this month).

Apple is going to have continue to out innovate the competition....and while you might see that as a given, I would like to see some actual product. If the delay is correct, it will be over a year between new iPods. That is way too long in the consumer electronics space.
