MP3 Market to quadruple by 2009
This is in my opinion nonsense for two reasons:
- All phones will be able to play music in max 1 year's time, hence the actual "MP3" player volume will be much higher by 2009. Counting only dedicated such players is meaningless (like counting microwave ovens without timers, or PDAs without mobile radio).
- By 2009 it will not be the specific format MP3 that anyone will care about, as it's got way too low quality for the long run, yet is good enough in the early market stages.
