Redesigned iPod nano faces delay - another analyst
11:48AM, Monday 10th July 2006
A second analyst has told Apple investors that a 'redesigned' iPod nano will be delayed by up to two months, reaching shop shelves in November rather than September as they had previously expected.
Baird Equity Research's Tristan Gerra cites a 31 per cent drop in NAND prices as evidence that demand for the flash memory chips is not as high as it would have been had Apple begun buying up stocks in preparation for the launch of a new version of the portable music player.
'This suggests Apple's upcoming 6GB - 8GB nano will be on the shelves in November rather than September,' he wrote.
Late last month American Technology Research's Shaw Wu predicted that the new nanos could be held up for 'a quarter or two' by Apples' decision to change its System-on-chip technology provider from PortalPlayer to Samsung.
