It'll be slower
Yeah - I'm sure adoption will be slower now that the iPod is a mature market.

But it'll still happen, even if more slowly:

-Some iPods may be accidentally broken.
-Some iPods may be stolen.
-The market may not be fully saturated yet.
-Young people get older and start buying more expensive stuff.
--This is why young people is a target market for many industries.
--If there's one thing you can rely on, it's people just becoming old enough to buy your stuff.
-Many people may have a smaller device like a Shuffle or Nano, and may be considering upgrading to the larger iPod.

Yes, It'll be slower, but IMHO there's still enough demand to make selling an upgraded device practical.
