In the midst of an interview discussing his career and love for computers, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak predicted that the iPod has peaked and will eventually die out like the transistor radio and Walkmans.

Per the article over on the Telegraph, Wozniak told interviewer Rupert Neate that Apple has been overvalued and that the iPod may have a limited time left on the market.

"The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one, "Mr. Wozniak said. "Things like, that if you look back to transistor radios and Walkmans, they kind of die out after a while.

"It's kind of like everyone has got one or two or three. You get to a point when they are on display everywhere, they get real cheap and they are not selling as much."

Woz then commented on Apple's proprietary approach to the iPhone. "Consumers aren't getting all they want when companies are very proprietary and lock their products down," he said in a reference to Google's Android. "I would like to write some more powerful apps than what you're allowed," he lamented.

The remarks reiterate a life-long difference in his personality in contrast to Steve Jobs. Woz, the tinkerer, has always wanted to dig in and conduct creative play, and the design of the Apple II reflected that. Mr. Jobs, the consummate salesman, has always tried to make elegant products that are simple to use but hard to open up and play with.

As always, let us know what's on your mind and if you agree or disagree with Woz over in the comments or forums.
