AAPL Stock: 497.67 ( -11.79 )

Analyst: iPod needs more video content

updated 10:20 am EST, Mon November 21, 2005

AAPL on \'hold\'


Standard & Poor's Equity Research analyst Megan Graham-Hackett , according to Forbes. "In a research report Graham-Hackett said, 'In our view, the video iPod needs expanded content to be a more attractive device.' However, Graham-Hackett noted that the process for converting the TV programming onto the video iPod 'is still a bit complex and may limit demand.' The analyst noted that while Apple trades at a price/sales multiple of 3.9 times, well above peers, 'we believe it can continue to do so with its new product momentum.'"

    Oh look,

    The stock is at $65, so, so, we'll, like, raise the target price too! Yeah. And, they need more shows on iTunes!

    Analysts. Is that a ban word?

    Doesn't get it

    The iPod is still primarily a music player that also does video. I plan on buying one, but I don't plan on ever using the video feature.

    Does it need more content? Not really. Will it a sell more iPods? Probably a few, but not many compared to those that buy it for music.

    Analysts need more...

    ...intelligence. I can't believe these morons get paid to come up with this stuff. My Mom could have looked at the iTunes store and told you that.

    Converting too complex?

    "Graham-Hackett noted that the process for converting the TV programming onto the video iPod 'is still a bit complex and may limit demand.'"

    Has Graham-Hackett actually tried it himself? The only reason why it is more difficult than it could be is that it appears Apple is trying to be the good citizen to the MPAA and therefore has instructed employees that they aren't allowed to educate customers regarding software outside of Apple's own products such as Quicktime or iMovie.

    Oops

    I just realized that Graham-Hackett is a she and not a he (that's what I get for not reading as closely as I should have)
