Apple is still expected to ship about 13-to-15 million flash-based iPods in the fourth quarter eetimes.com; Interesting take in the article. While I wasn't blown away by the announcements, I hardly see the lineup as lackluster. I'd expect to see a nice improvement in unit sales but an overall drop in revenue and ASP as the shuffle and nano are more compelling than the full-size model (which as a result probably won't sell significantly more units.) I think the plan is to sell a ton of shuffles and merely a lot of nanos over the holidays. Is the standard ipod also flash now? No, the 30 & 80 GB models are still hard disk based.
