Chris Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Needham & Co. analyst Charles Wolf believes the Mac mini will stimulate Apple's market share. He told CNet News.com that he estimates 11 per cent of iPod-toting Windows users may buy a Mac, because Apple's sub-£400 Mac mini is affordable. He estimates just 4 per cent of iPod users would buy a Mac before the mini was announced. "The iPods only failure has been its inability to stimulate meaningful purchases of Macintoshes," Wolf said. The CNet report also carries several anecdotes from computer users who may now be tempted to be a Mac. It concludes with a statement from Jupiter Research analyst Michael Gartenberg, who said: "There's been a lot of interest in the Mac for many years now," Gartenberg said, but most people "just didn’t want to pay for it."More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
