Bit of a stretch

Apple always forcasts below Wallstreet's expectations as mentioned by the article you reference.

While ipod shippments were down I don't believe this was the reason for a share price drop.

Apple "posted revenue Tuesday of $9.6 billion for its first fiscal quarter, which ended December 29. That's better than the $9.5 billion expected by financial analysts, and Apple also gave them good news with its earnings-per-share number of $1.76, better than expectations of $1.62 per share. That translates to net income of $1.6 billion, up 58 percent from last year."

The share price drop is likely more out of a general concern of consumer spending slow down which would have a high impact on Apple.

Diversify MacPro line up

Apple seems to forget the people that doesn't make above avg. salary. What most of the people want, and other students in computer related majors is a Mac Pro (desktop) that's affordable and expandable. We don't need 8-cores or even 4. In the PC world you can buy a dual core for less than $300 but I think a $600 one is a decient machine. Can't Apple make a decient single socket dual-core thats expandable for less than $700 or even $999.99? Maybe Apple just want the high end market. And don't tell me about Mac Mini! It isn't meant to be user upgradable. Me and thousands of students and techies are waiting and buying PCs until we do get A sub $700 dual-core MacPro. All-in-one Macs don't cut it! Diversify Apple, wake up! Try it, maybe Apple might make more in the earnings dept. At least come back to the segment of the market you have avoided since the G4 days (sub $1700).
