If, while strolling through a dark alley, a ne’er-do-well were to accost you with a threatening mop and demand that you immediately and accurately compare the iPod’s Dock connector to the human belly button, the response most likely to save you from a sodden fate would be ‘њoutie.’ќ And why not? Ponder docking an iPod and you think speakers, FM transmitters, multimedia docks, video cables’”connections that demand the iPod pass data to another device through its Dock connector.
While it is way too early to make a definitive call on March qtr iPod units, we have analyzed the first month of NPD data (Jan.) for the quarter and found that it suggests iPod units of 9.5m-10.3m.
