IPOD REACHING SATURATION POINT...

Is it possible for Apple to sell more I-Pods that there are people on the planet...?

Sooner or later the I-Pod Fad will crest...and sales of I-Pods will plunge.

Put another way...we're reaching the point where every "bed head" who want's an I-Pod has got one...

And "bed heads" these days seem to be everyone under 60...who still has hair...

(I think "bed head" should be reserved for people in Nursing Homes...where there is a good reason for looking dazed and confused.)

And remember, these I-Podian "bed heads" are supposedly "early adapters" who are not afraid of the shock of the new....and by now I-Pods aren't exactly new...or news.

The real problem is will Apple be able to handle the shock of the old...?

At some point thenext 10 million I-Pods will have to be sold to people from Mars!.....

Hmmmm...maybe I'll buy one then too...? Nah.... I've got enough distractions without sticking "buds" in my ears....to hear "songs." Besides I think everyone should just turn off the satellite radio, the cable news and the computer and be required to have an hour of total silence at least once a day...

So the problem for Apple will be when all those who want an I-Pod already have one...

And I am doubly sceptical about electronic equipment that is more "fashion statement"...than "killer app...."

OK! OK! We've seen your I-Pod, and your $100 "bed head"...now Grow Up...!
