The latest issue of Wired Magazine’s (February 2005, issue 13.02, not yet available online) “Wired, Tired, Expired” lists the mythical “iPhone” as “Wired,” the Apple iPod as “Tired,” and the Apple iBook as “Expired.” Interestingly, approximately 8,000,000 iPod sales ago, Wired’s January 2004 (12.01) issue also listed Apple’s iPod as “Tired.”
MacDailyNews Take: Thirteen months seems a long time for the iPod to be “Tired,” huh? Hopefully, Wired will designate Apple’s iPod as “Expired” soon – that should be good for at least 15 million or so additional annual unit sales.
