      Defending Apple's MacBook Air
      The MacBook Air is without a doubt the Cube 2.0 and is sure to flop. Apple is about due for another. I guess when you take as many risks with products as Apple does, you're bound to fail every so often. I hear so many people on this board saying they will buy a MBA. I remember hearing the same type of talk when the Cube was first brought out. Then when people got over their initial infatuation and started looking at it for what it is, the reaction was almost always, WTF would I buy this for???? And people, even though Apple is growing a decent clip compared to the rest of the market, they only have 6-7% market share in the US. Worldwide, they aren't even in the top 5. They have come a long way, but there is still a long way to go before you can realistically consider them a major player in any computer segment.

      I have a feeling there are tough roads ahead for Apple. iPod sales are slowing, which is a huge revenue stream for Apple. The iPhone is doing well, but not exceedingly (iPhone is 3 features from essentially being the perfect device) And with the coming woes to the US economy, Apple's computer line will be priced out of reach for 90% of consumers.

      Apple Beats Estimates, Proves to Be Lowball Central
      Obviously this guy is upset because of his position in Apple (most notably his personal position). I think the market over reacted to the guidance Apple provided in the next quarter as well, but hello????!!! How long have you been in this business??? This happens all the time. And to act ignorant to this fact discounts further your opinion on the matter. Apple's history of low balling guidance simply back fired on them this time around. Or it could be investors seeing consumers tighting up their wallets this year and the first thing to go will be that rediculously expensive Mac/MacBook, iPod, or iPhone. Style (which, lets face it, is the main draw of Apple products) will suddenly not seem that important for people who can't make their mortgage payments. Smart and budget minded people will now be content with their $50 cell phones, 650 budgent PCs/laptops, and go ahead skip a generation of iPods. Its not that hard to see really, unless you are blinded by your own personal loss of cold hard cash.
