iPhones on Target, Analyst Expectations on iPods and Macs
Appleinsider publishes comments by UBS analyst Benjamin Reitzes after a meeting between him and Apple executives Peter Oppenheimer (Chief Financial Officer), David Moody (Vice President of Mac Product Marketing), and Eddy Cue (Vice President of iTunes).
As always, Apple didn't reveal any information on new products, but was reportedly "confident the [iPhone] will ship on time with volumes to meet customer demand".
The analysts expects "an innovative method of in-store activation and in-store displays for the iPhone, along with customer-friendly billing that could tie customers further into the Apple online store."
For what its worth, the analyst also expects for 2007: "new video iPods including a widescreen video iPod with multi-touch technology (likely flash), higher capacity nanos and shuffles and new Macs into the holidays"

Apple should be able to come up with a drop dead simple way to activate in iTunes and manage your minutes and account through iTunes as well. Can't wait to see how it all works out.

Not a great track record of this analyst. Having said that, everything he said is, if not probable, possible. "New Macs into the holidays", well duh!

Emphasis on the 'for what its worth' ... analyst predictions are almost always off as they have no basis other than what we already know.

No evidence whatsoever, but it would be cool if the aforementioned video iPod had Wi-Fi and the stripped-down Safari and other non-phone apps also.

No!!
No No No No NO!!!
I hope the 'likely flash' statement ends up being untrue. I want a widescreen video iPod with multi-touch technology with a big, bad 120gb hard drive in it. Don't disappoint, Apple!

Ehhh... I think that is very doubtful... In fact, I hope it is not so. I would rather Apple concentrate all of its net based mobile software into the iPhone. The only thing extra I would enjoy would be the ability to browse the iTunes store and buy music/videos straight from an iPod.
The iPod is a wonderfully simplistic device. It is a music/video player, and it does a damn good job as far as the interface goes. Giving it Safari and just a few other little semi-pointless mobile applications would merely bloat the interface and probably devalue the device as a whole.
Just my opinion, no hard feelings! :)

What really amazes me is how these guys are nothing more than salesmen. Give them a few buzz words to spew and spread around, and the business world just goes "Oh my God! An innovative in-store activation and marketing? Well, that just guarantees success!"
I've yet to see any form of advertising which was the cureative for any and all new products. What'd they do, so this guy a Pantone color and say "See? This PMS color is scientifically guaranteed to turn every customer into a drooling idiot within 50 feet."

I've really it when a link like this appears along with predictions. :D I've seen this with some other analyst lately, too.
A link to AI and TS's prediction record should be included in rumors from them as well...
