NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Apple may be phasing out its 60-gigabyte Video iPod, according to one analyst who tracks the company.
The company has told its distributors that the 60-gigabyte iPod, which launched in October and retails for $399, is "at risk" until the end of April, meaning that it could be discontinued or replaced, according to Shaw Wu, an analyst for American Technology Research,

In a note to clients, Wu said he believes the company is readying a wide-screen video iPod with Bluetooth headphones that could be ready as early as the June quarter. The analyst said his checks indicate that Apple is working on such a product.
This just has to drive people nuts... the coolest and latest toys seem as exciting as yesterday's soggy breakfast cereal within a year or less.

What's wrong with enjoying something for only a year? Perhaps the enjoyment of a product for a year eclipses the disappointment of no longer having the latest gadget.
Nothing, if you can afford to buy the new toy too. Otherwise, it's 'dang, I should have waited, because that's what I really want...'
