Analyst Wu: New iPods may face delays of as much as six months
6/28/2006 07:47:00 AM
"Shares of Apple Computer fell over 2 percent in early morning trading after one Wall Street analyst said new versions of the company's iPod nano and video iPod players may be delayed by a much as six months," Katie Marsal reports for AppleInsider. "'We previously believed that new nanos and the widescreen video iPod could ship in Q3 and Q4, respectively,' American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu told clients in a research note," Marsal reports. "'However, we now believe that both could be delayed by a quarter or two.'" "Wu now sees a new iPod nano [US$199 for 4GB, $249 for 8GB] arriving during the December quarter rather than the September quarter... [and] issues surrounding battery life continue to be the 'key gating technical factor' that could delay the launch of the much-rumored widescreen video iPod until the first half of 2007," Marsal reports. "Wu retains a Buy rating on shares of Apple but reduced his price target from $101 to $75 to 'reflect the equity market's lower trading multiple.'"
