Apple product demand strong, availability increases

Demand for Macs and iPods remains strong, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. “We believe that Apple’s product availability continues to improve as evidenced by the shorter lead times for many products, particularly for both versions of the Mac mini and the PowerBook G4,” Munster said in a research note obtained by MacMinute. “While critics of the AAPL story will suggest greater product availability represents a slowing demand environment, we disagree. As evidenced by strong overall results from Amazon.com’s Top Seller Lists, we believe that demand for both Macs and iPods remains strong. Apple is becoming efficient at building products, and for the first time in a year, should have enough product to meet demand.” Munster noted that there are currently four Macs in the Amazon Top 10 Computers list, eight iPods on the Top 10 MP3 Players list, and that Mac OS X Tiger and the Tiger Family Pack hold the top two spots respectively on the Electronics Top Seller list.
