Analyst sees WWDC as Mac only event
Reacting to rumors on Tuesday, an analyst for American Technology Research said it's unlikely that Apple will use its upcoming World Wide Developers Conference to introduce new music-related products.
"While we would like to see Apple refresh its nano sooner than later, our analysis continues to indicate a late September-October launch and ramp as more likely," the analyst said.
While Wu admitted that "there is a first time for everything," he told clients to "keep in mind WWDC is a Mac event and has not been used in the past for major iPod announcements."
The analyst, who maintains a buy rating on Apple shares with a price target of $75, said he continues to anticipate "a separate event to announce new iPod related products."

Step to the Wu! Wu financial........
If his comments get any more incisive, my head might explode.

I suppose at least it makes sense, rather than being utter garbage.
Wu ... Wu ... Woo .. Whoo! ... he's a ghost! AppleInsider is haunted!
WWDC will be Mac only. And the analyst anticipated media event in October will be iPod only, whether it happens or not. You Heard It Here First! (tm)
Guh
I disagree,
In WWDC '04, they spent A LOT of time covering the iPod & ITMS in the keynote. I'd say it was at least 25% of the keynote.
Unfortunately, WWDC isn't just about macs any more, it's about apple. I used to love the days where it was 100% developer, but now there is a little bit of consumer sprinkled on top.

That's true. I just get very exasperrated by the fact that AI posts every single one of this dude's ramblings.
