"I wouldn't be surprised if Apple stock drops a little. iPhone sales have got to be very weak in the 2nd quarter...."
Keep hoping! The expected 'weak' 2nd quarter for iphone sales is the reason AAPL is at the $175 level instead of the $200 level, and RIM missed even though there was virtually no competition from Apple. Wait to see the end of the current quarter when iphones are available in 2000+ stores.

..."funny how the HTC Touch outsold the iPhone in Europe"
are you referring to the official sales by a handful of carriers?? What about all the unlocked iphones which made their way from USA to Europe?? Stop being selective and vague in your "facts"
And, HTC will be more of a threat to RIM than to Apple.

"I would also question just how green your apple is... technology comes at a price and your electronics are one of the greatest polluters on the planet. If you are only interested in share price or usability.. well you might want to consider the usability or functionality of the planet."
Are you serious? Apple makes products which last much longer than those of the competitors. Eg. iPhone features will be added or updated through software upgrades. For most other manufacturers the handsets have to be tossed out and replaced with new ones in order to get new features. How many new Blackberry models are slated for intro later this year, and do you know why????
