The shortages are bringing back old rivalries between Apple and its retailers, as Charlie Tebele, president of Manhattan-based RCS Experience noted. "It's frustrating at times to be a retailer, doing business with Apple," said Telebe. "But as a businessman, I can only admire what they're able to get away with." Apple yesterday announced that it reached long-term supply agreements with Hynix, Intel, Micron, Samsung Electronics, and Toshiba to secure the supply of NAND flash memory through 2010. Scott Anderson, merchandising manager for online retailer Crutchfield suggests that "if you want to get an iPod for someone this Christmas, I'd advise you to get it now--if you can find one." Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster said it's inconceivable that Apple can ship 14.1 million units, and the analyst is considering lowering his current projection of 9.1 million total iPod units sold for the quarter, due to concerns that Apple won't be able to hit his forecast of 5 million iPod nanos, according to a report from BusinessWeek Online.
