Jobs discussing iPod and iTunes numbers.
--New Products--
Leather iPod cases - black for 5G and nano
No screen or control access.
$99 each - mid-March.
Jobs: 40% of all autos sold this year in US will have iPod connectivity as an option.
Now's time to add In the Home. People like to use iPods with groups inside. Problem with these products - stereo products - is that they don't offer home stereo quality.
What is home stereo quality. Audiophiles need a large sound stage. you can hear the performers sounding larger than the speakers. Precise imaging and separation. Each instrument can be heard separately. Third thing is wide frequency range. You want great bass, also be able to hear the highest frequencies. You also want room-filling power without distortion.
Integrated power supply - no brick.
Power it off of six D-size batteries if you want. "Several hours outside."
Two 80mm mid-range drivers in sealed acoustic suspension.
In center is 130mm dual voice coil woofer, ported bass reflex design.
Great bass, doesn't distort when cranked up.
