According to Silicon Alley Insider, Credit Suisse analyst Bill Shope has been doing some research on Apple. His conclusions seem pretty reasonablewith some caveats. Here are his findings and our thoughts below:
New iPods: "More likely." Apple refreshes its iPod line in the fall, and there's no reason it won't this year. To compete better with the cheaper iPhone, Apple could offer higher-capacity iPods at lower prices, one possible explanation for its warning about low gross margins.
Refreshed MacBooks: "More likely." No major shape/size changes, but faster laptops at lower prices.
