I thought iPod HiFi was their undoing!
They've had so many, it's hard to keep track.
My instinct is that the TV is a stalking horse. Zero doubt that they're working on something, and it looks like a TV, but it has to be something a whole lot more than iTunes+flatscreen+Siri. I know what I'm hoping for...
But if I'm wrong, or if it fails, or both...it will hardly be Apple's undoing. Their most profitable product lines are still growing fast, and the others are doing respectably well. They'll need a new product line in the next few years to maintain growth, yes, and there are other threats. I'm not worried about this one.
