In the last quarter, Nokia sold 88.5 million phones to Apple’s 8.7
million iPods. If the Finns can convince just a fraction of buyers to
spring for music phones rather than iPods, they’ll trounce Steve Jobs
and co.
Read more here. "Trounce," of course, is a tricky word. Is the mark-up on cell phones as high? Would they cut into the iPod market or appeal to different buyers? Would content suppliers leave iTunes or just sell to both markets? Here is a good, short piece on the roots of the iPod appeal.
Which is why Apple is coming out with an iPhone next year:

Sounds like every businessman who went to China saying if every person bought just 1$ of my product …
Nokia specializes in communication, while iPod focus on mp3.
Similarity: we carry both around.

Armani makes dashing suite, while Victoria Secrect produces underwear
Similarity: we wear both around.
Then, why don’t Armani produce suites with lacy underwear enclosed?
…
because buyers with two tastes are involved.
Anyone remember the Motorola phone with iTunes? Didn’t think so…

Why would Nokia _want_ the ipod business? They and the cell phone providers can probably make more money selling 30 second ring tones for $2.50 a pop that they can selling higher quality music for $0.99. They face an innovator’s dilemma, where any attempt to compete with ipod will threaten much larger revenue streams.
I will cling furiously to my ipod and my tivo, because I don’t believe that either cell phone or cable companies will be able to shift to a quality/innovation/customer service model.
thank you. Beatifull Archile !
