Apple creates new iPod division

Apple has created a new division within the company to sell and promote the iPod. Jon Rubinstein, who has led Apple’s hardware engineering efforts, will run the new division. Timothy Cook, head of the company’s worldwide sales and operations, will now lead a newly organized Macintosh division. The moves were announced today in a company-wide internal email sent by Apple CEO Steve Jobs. “This organizational refinement will focus our talent and resources even more precisely on our industry-leading Macintosh computers and the wildly successful iPod,” an Apple spokesman told Reuters.
