Worries about a sales slowdown for Apple Computer's iconic iPod music player and its Mac computers knocked the company's stock down almost 5 percent Friday.
Shares of the California-based firm closed $1.80 lower at $38.24, after the market reacted to a report on a Web site dedicated to Apple news.
Citing unnamed sources, the AppleInsider report said iPod shipments appeared flat or declining and that most iPod and Mac models were seemingly overstocked. Apple did not return calls Friday seeking comment.
