The price point and form factor are likely to appeal to people who are younger and have less disposable income, and who are making their first home stereo purchase. It's less likely to appeal to people who have a home entertainment system.

We're seeing the tip of the iceberg now.

No one has been able to catch up to Apple. Apple's ongoing dominance has made it difficult not only for major consumer electronics brands to compete, but also the much smaller brands.

There is always uncertainty around Apple's announcements. If it is big news we want to be prepared. And if it's not we still want to be there because they are such a major player in the MP3 and music-playing markets.

We believe this means there is a significant opportunity to transition those who are buying music in physical formats to online music services, We also believe this transition will occur gradually.

This is still a very young technology and it will take time for the market to develop. But the bottom line is that people love music and this is an efficient way for them to get their dose.

This has been a long transformation, having consumer electronics devices and PC devices in the house play well together.

AM and FM are still very popular media. Radio is still familiar and it's free. It's hard to compete with free.

Consumers need to be able to get music in a place that resembles an online version of a music store, where they don't need to know which artist belongs to what label to find the music.

The lack of MP3 support is the primary reason Sony has stumbled, ... It stymied them in the market.
