Harley Davidson has perfected this. By underproducing they can keep the costs of their products inflated. I think this is what Apple is working towards. Status derived through lack of availability and expense. I can substantiate that Apple has swiped Harley's marketing strategy because I read on Mac OS Rumors that Apple is going to begin engineering oil leaks into the G5 powerbooks that are due next week.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

I agree they underestimate demand. I don't believe that their criticism about the Mac mini is valid. He is telling the truth, but I don't think it's a criticism.

And his battery comment is out to lunch. He has a defective battery and should get a replacement, and move on instead of griping about it as if all iPod batteries have a problem.

The worst part is that it isn't blatantly obvious whether that's hyperbole or not. Well, I'm sure it is, but I don't think everyone who reads that will know he's exaggerating.

Furthermore, I also take issue with this quote:

"After the initial buzz wears off, keep it in mind as an option, especially if you already have the Apple keyboard, mouse and monitor."

He's making it seem like you have to use Apple products. All in all, that isn't a very well written article. And no, my criticism of it doesn't make me an "Apple fanboy."

I just hope that Apple will learn from its mistakes of the past.
