`iPod will die by next year`
They quote Alan Sugar saying that the iPod would die by Christmas 2005 and then state "Incidentally, at the time Sugar's Amstrad and Apple were reportedly neck-and-neck in the personal computer race. "
Amstrad haven't been in the computer business since the 1990s (and I doubt they were ever "neck and neck", except maybe in the race to launch a PDA in the early 90s). If they can't get the first item factually correct, I'm wondering if I should bother with the rest.
- Timothee 17y agoSame here. First, I was annoyed by the 10 pages, then I read that and figured I needed to see the comments here. I thought Amstrad had disappeared long before 2005, so to be neck-and-neck with Apple while the latter was actually at the beginning of its strong marketshare gain in the computer market...
- slpsys 17y agoCame here to post the same. What a wacky assertion. Incidentally, I searched for "alan sugar ipod will die" (no quotes), and this page was the #1 Google result. The IndiaTimes article was #3. That doesn't make me confident it was an accurate quote, either.
