Inside Apple and the iPod nano

BusinessWeek takes an intriguing look inside Apple's new iPod nano, estimating an impressive 50% profit margin on each device sold before marketing and distribution costs. (What, you haven't bought one yet?) Apple has sold 16 million iPods this year alone, generating some $2.6 million in revenue. (21 million iPods have been sold since the product's debut in 2001.)

Meanwhile, The Guardian talks to Steve Jobs and looks inside Apple. "There's a very strong DNA within Apple, and that's about taking state-of-the-art technology and making it easy for people who don't want to read manuals, people who live very busy lives. [And] we have world-class competitors trying to kill us."
