I think the analogy drawn in this article is completely pointless. I dont think apple could ever make the same corporate decisions for its computers as it does for its ipods. The two markets are completely different. for eg: I dont want the best value for money in my ipod, I dont need 5 teragigs of memory in my ipod, I dont need a 5 yr battery life, I want it to be small and fit in my pocket and look cool! I think many (if not the majority) consumers would prefer a smaller size over an insane amt of memory. On the other hand, in my powerbook...sure I want it to be small and light...but not at the cost of battery power or hard disk space or screen size...thats just stupid. The priorities of both, consumers and manufacturer, are different for the two products.
