Incidentally, as a background for the appearance of "Cocktail", the music download sales in 2008 has remained at 428.4 million songs, which fell by 14% from the previous year.

The fact that the service of "Cocktail" starts in September means that the announcement of the touch screen terminal will be around September. Because it is a terminal with a different concept from portable music player and MacBook, we are concerned about future development.
