The iPod halo effect has proven that it can also be extremely damaging. Wolfson Microelectronics, the Edinburgh microchip designer, which once prospered under the glow set off from the iPod has now suffered an extreme drop in share prices of almost 30 percent, as news broke that the iPod contract from Apple was lost.
Wolfson had previously lost the contract to manufacture the chips for the iPod Classic but was still providing the chips for the iPod Touch and iPod Nano which it admitted to losing yesterday in a business update.
While still making microchips for the iPhone, the loss of the contract has dropped shares to the lowest in three-and-a-half years. Investors are worried that the loss of the iPod contract is just the beginning in setbacks for the once heralded company.Wolfson has also failed to land big deals in other music-enabled phones to replace the MP3 players.

Apple has reached the top on many levels, finding unparalleled success with the iPod and jumping into the cellular phone market with equal flair. Fortune Magazine is giving them their due citing Apple as the most admired company in the United States.
Fortune said “It is a tribute to its CEO that Apple, which ten years ago seemed headed for the slag heap, is No. 1 on this list. Steve Jobs has always had a knack for weaving magic out of silicon and software. But who knew he could build a $24 billion (in sales) company on the strength of a portable jukebox and a computer with a single-digit market share?”
Fortune’s reflection of Apples success was simple, “Apple products work, and if you buy more than one, they work better.”
Apple’s only downfall in the ratings came in social responsibility. The company did exceedingly well in areas of innovation, product quality and people management.

Apple has come back against analysts who have said that Apple most likely won’t meet their goal of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008, with COO Tim Cook saying in a talk last night that Apple would do anything to reach that goal including dumping their revenue sharing model if they must. “We’re not married to any business model. What we’re married to is shipping the best phones in the world,” Cook said.
Cook said that all the unlocked iPhones in places like China were not a bad sign but rather a sign of continuing iPhone demand. Apple is also planning to set up pre-paid iPhone plans as some regions of the world don’t have post-paid plans. Visual voice mail and some other key features may also have to be dropped in some regions.
As far as the Touch cannibalizing iPhone sales Cook was clear saying, “I’d rather Apple cannibalize Apple than somebody else cannibalize Apple. It was very key for the iPod line to go in this direction.”

Are you a game designer looking for a new job - now is the time with Apple who appears to be making their next foray one of breaking into the world of gaming.
Apple is asking for their Apple trademark to now include “handheld units for playing electronic games, handheld units for playing videogames, stand-alone video game machines, LCD game machines, and electronic games other than those adapted for use with television receivers only. They are also advertising for a new “game producer/designer to develop consumer entertainment software.”
Whether or not Apple will simply be going into the iPod/iPhone gaming realm or whether they are once again going to release a multimedia console is anyone’s guess. Apple released a console called Apple Pippin in the mid-90’s but wasn’t able to make it work. This was of course before Steve Jobs came back on board. Having Jobs there this time changes everything.

If Apple is to sell 10 million iPhones in 2008 as per their goal, they will have to sell 200,000 more per quarter than they did over the hottest time of the year, the Christmas season. During that time last year Apple sold 2.3 million.
Analyst are looking into the matter and agree that for Apple to accomplish its goal, changes have to be made. One of the changes would be a price cut. The much talked about recession here in the U.S. has most likely hurt sales as well as the lowest fourth quarter buying season since the last small recession in 2002. A new iPhone in 3G could boost sales but not if the price is too high. A lower price for the original and a good price for the 3G could go a long ways.

Four years ago iTunes was just a fledgling set to rise to unparalleled heights. At the time the Super Bowl was a huge booster for iTunes which combined with Pepsi launched a commercial set to Greenbay’s version of the song “I Fought the Law” encouraging buyers to buy legally online from iTunes rather than illegally downloading tunes from various sources.
Over 1,000,000 songs from iTunes were given away free in the Pepsi promotion and iTunes has then grown expeditiously year after year, becoming the extreme dominant in the download market and helping to propel iPods to explicit dominion.
Today however, a new era is emerging and rather than Apple being the underdog to Microsoft, with an almost cult like following, Apple is now the one on top and as the new “King of the Hill” is the one everyone wants to overcome.
