Steve Wozniak, Apple Co-Founder, wants the iPod to die

Steve Wozniak laments about Apple Trends in a recent article with the Telegraph, and specifically indicates that he'd like to see the iPod go away.

The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one," he says. "Things like, that if you look back to transistor radios and Walkmans, they kind of die out after a while.

"It's kind of like everyone has got one or two or three. You get to a point when they are on display everywhere, they get real cheap and they are not selling as much."

He also rants against the iPhone 3G. Interesting read, if not groundbreaking. What has he really done lately?

"Despite (Wozniak's) frankness throughout the interview he clams up when pressed on speculation about future product launches, claiming that 'nobody, not even Steve Jobs' knows what's next."

One word: Holograms.

I don't have much to say honestly. It has been an interesting reading. I like the controversy on "iraki" and "a 4k". And the name he thought to give his son. Whatever might have happened here, he is probably sulky and resentful. Stocks crumbling is no surprising news nowdays. Steve is the marketing ace and he knows Steve better than we do. Has he declared anything on this statements?
