Here's an Unconventional Idea: Sell Apple [View article]
"The iPhone, especially now with a $99 price tag, will eventually start to cannibalize iPod sales."
Hello, McFly? Have you ever paid attention to monthly charges one must pay in order to enjoy that $99 iPhone? Over a two year contract it is at least $850, if you count a $5 a month TXT messaging charge and tax.
So you really think that a device that costs someone an extra $35 a month (on top of the normal phone plan) to use it is going to cannibalize sales of a device that I pay for once? Unless the iPhone monthly pricing structure changes, the iPod will always be a winner.

I'm invested in AAPL for the longhaul, because they continue to create products that don't get in people's way. I bought the 16GB $299 version of the iPhone 3G yesterday, and once the activation problems were over (about 4 hours after I bought it), it was very easy to set up.
It's products like this that convince me that AAPL is a great long-term investment.

Apple stock will probably stay put until July 11, after which we will see a steady climb. I am amazed at how many people I've talked to who are snagging a 3G iPhone--including a lot of people who were didn't jump in on the first edition.
