RIP, iPod

Since Apple reported its first ever quarterly drop in iPod sales earlier this month, the future of the revolutionary music player has become uncertain.  However, the company said it expected the decline and created the more advanced iPhone and iPod touch in order to prepare for it.  So although the iPod name will live on, the iPod we all know and love will soon be gone.

A recent BusinessWeek article made some predictions about how Apple will change its lineup in the wake of the drop in sales.  Apple will:

Get rid of the hard drive-based iPod classic

Focus on high-capacity models that use flash memory (it’s cheaper and more efficient)

Release a new iPod touch with more features, such as a microphone, a camera with video-capability, and a GPS system

Apple will most likely release a revised product line in September, as it has done in the past few years, and will probably include a new nano and touch.  But in the next few years, expect to see familiar models like the iPod classic and nano be discontinued and replaced by more advanced, iPhone-like styles.  Despite the great success of the older iPod models, the days of simple, single-function music players are winding down.  People want more versatile devices that allow them to do everything at once; luckily Apple has the tools to create this all-encompassing device.
