Not so sure
Back in 1980 everyone I new had a Apple II and the schools all had them. They used these computers till the Mid 80s when the MAC came out then everyone ditched Apple leaving them with just fanatics and very small niche market.

Now we see the IPOD. Tons of people have them and will Apple do the same thing as they did in the 80s with the MAC? That being reducing the functionality of the device to add fancy stuff that was really useless to many due to lack of functionality? I hope the Steve learns from the past.

Steve Jobs is not brilliant but you do have to give that guy credit for having Vision. Vision is what Bill Gates lacks, "no one will need more 640 K of memory" or "the Internet is just a fad".
