"Gates sees mobile phones overtaking iPods - paper
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Microsoft founder Bill Gates sees mobile phones overtaking MP3s as the top choice of portable music player, and views the raging popularity of Apple's iPod player as unsustainable, he told a German newspaper.
'As good as Apple may be, I don't believe the success of the iPod is sustainable in the long run,' he said in an interview published in Thursday's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
'You can make parallels with computers: Apple was very strong in this field before, with its Macintosh and its graphics user interface -- like the iPod today -- and then lost its position,' Gates said."
