`iPod will die by next year`

They quote Alan Sugar saying that the iPod would die by Christmas 2005 and then state "Incidentally, at the time Sugar's Amstrad and Apple were reportedly neck-and-neck in the personal computer race. "

Amstrad haven't been in the computer business since the 1990s (and I doubt they were ever "neck and neck", except maybe in the race to launch a PDA in the early 90s). If they can't get the first item factually correct, I'm wondering if I should bother with the rest.
