So Apple isn't selling iPod Classics anymore because they "can't get the parts anymore."
PNQ1: Does this seem like a bit of a copout? Haven't they had years and years to buy out whatever companies and patents are required to make said parts in house?
PNQ2: How does not having parts for an older-model iPod Classic preclude the development of a new model? A model that has a similar form factor but more modern parts inside?
