[Tech] Apple crea una divisione apposita per l'iPod

La gamma dei prodotti iPod sarà presa in carico da una apposita divisione dell'azienda, appena creata; l'altro ramo della casa di Cupertino continuerà ovviamente a seguire lo sviluppo hardware e software dei computer Mac:

Jon Rubinstein, who has led the Cupertino, California-based company's hardware engineering efforts, will run the new division, an Apple spokesman said.



Timothy Cook, head of Apple's worldwide sales and operations, will lead a newly organized Macintosh division, Apple said. Tim Bucher, now in charge of Macintosh system development, will head up the Mac's hardware engineering.



The moves were announced in a company-wide internal e-mail sent by Steve Jobs (news - web sites), Apple's chairman, chief executive and co-founder, and first reported by the New York Times on Wednesday.



"This organizational refinement will focus our talent and resources even more precisely on our industry-leading Macintosh computers and the wildly successful iPod," the spokesman said.

Dall'ottobre 2001, data della sua presentazione, l'iPod ha venduto oltre tre milioni di esemplari.
