Apple’s Dramatic Risks and Ambitions
Why I'm All About Apple
I worked with Macs as programmer, sales, consultant since 1987.
Enough about me, though.
You hit the nail on the head in your article, "An Apple Holiday. What I have known for years about the Mac and Steve Jobs, is just now becoming mainstream. The upside potential is quite huge. Apple has 5-6% market share, with 94% computer owners as potential new customers. And the tipping point I've been expecting may have started last quarter, FY4Q07. Especially judging from your experiences and observations.
In 2002 or -03, Steve Jobs told everyone he was going to create the digital hub lifestyle. And here it is. iPhone, iPod, Mac, Apple TV, iLife, all connected seamlessly, synching, updating automatically.
And even though he told the world that he was going to do it, no one else has. And he delivered it as a wonderful user experience. I could go on and on, but you already have. You hit all the nails on the head.
When I started out investing in Apple, it was as a retirement fund. It still is. But now it is also a source of income, in addition to my retirement fund.
Hopefully your readers will learn from you and secure their own retirement, and short term income, from sizable investment in Apple.
Good luck to you John and all your readers.

Apple: Market Is Missing True iPhone Earnings Potential
The iPhone will continue to surprise analysts. That's because it's a smartphone in two ways, not just the one way that we're all calling it. It's a smartphone as in the category of phones called smartphones.
But it's also a smartphone because the software/interface that controls it is "smart". Meaning the software interface is an intelligent one. The software is smart because it gives you only the options/buttons that are in the context of what you are currently doing with the phone. The user isn't confused and overwhelmed with options/buttons that are not necessary. Only the options/buttons that are pertinent to the function you are currently doing.
So the iPhone is a smartphone in two ways. And as the user base grows, and more people see how smart a phone can really be, the potential for new buyers of the iPhone increases exponentially, at least for the foreseeable future.
Thanks Eric for the forum you create for exchange of ideas, information and opinions about Apple, Inc.
