Running the Numbers: The Roller Coaster That Is Apple

FUD very simply stated.

Apple Upgrade Not Groundbreaking

This site has bcome a TOTAL JOKE!!!

Thanks sys admin....for pulling my comments on THE TRUTH!!!

I'm DONE with Seeking Alpha....

Apple Upgrade Not Groundbreaking

This stock can no longer be manipulated by the shorts.

I SAY GOOD!!!

AAPL's balance sheet is to good @ this point. Apples product line is far superior to the competition. There are too many good things going for AAPL right now to be snowed by some overpaid ... i mean bribed ANAList who has no idea about where this company came from and the current culture in place.

This is now a long term investment. The only way the stock will dive again will be on the rumor and spec of Jobs health. Well let me tell you something folks, Apple is so much more than Steve Jobs @ this time in 2009.

AAPL Long.

For the record look @ the released stats on mobile web traffic.

apple20.blogs.fortune....

OH and BTW.... NOKIA's App Store Launch was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!!! YEAH OK!!! NOT!!!

I'm so sick of the naysayers.... I'm DONE HERE!!

Have a Grateful Day.... buy AAPL.

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

The Windows PC world is a fractured mess due to developers neglecting to adhere to any type of standards in windows.

Lets face it, it was good while it lasted and made lots o mulla grande for all who were willing to partake in DOS and the horrific UI that is still Windows to this day. Now, these die hard developers are whining and or praying that the next Windows 7 will be different. Sorry to break the news to you folks, Windows 7 is long in the tooth compared to Snow Leopard. In addition Apple is not standing still on Snow Leopards "REFINEMENTS" whilst MSFT is in crisis mode gearing up for Windows 7 release.. only to (mark my words) release some SP 0.7 for Windows 7 after 3 months on the market....

In my 25+ years in this field I knew this day would come. MSFT is NOT in a go way folks... I don't care how much $$$$$ they have.... Money ain't gonna fix Windows this time round...

UNIX+APPLE=A robust platform from desktop to laptop to hand held computer.

With iPhone 3.0 take a close look @ the API's that will be in the hands of 1000's of developers.... FYI when you develop for the iPhone you are developing for the desktop OS called Snow Leopard.... they are one in the same.

Some people you just can't reach...... Maybe If I told them I had free bananas to give to their Monkey Boy Leader they just may clue in.

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

O'Kane....

Good point..... there is ALWAYS room for improvement.

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

Just one more thing......

Will the Pre be able to used as a remote to access my Mac or PC?
Will I be able to get podcasts in a effortless way?
Will I be able to sync it with contacts on my mac or pc without a cloud account?

my gut tells me that the slide out keyboard is going to be a major pain in the ass when it comes to web access and data entry....

AND the Pre launch date??!!! I'm still scratching my head over that one... Late night crack smoking decision as far as I'm concerned.

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

This is the CEO of MicroDOZE saying APPLE has NO CHANCE...

NO CHANCE @ any significant market share!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder MSFT is in a world of hurt...... Bring more bananas to the Monkey Boy. I think he's hungry and has something else so profoundly idiotic to say......

Good GRIEF!!!!! VISTA 7 YEAH OK!! OOPS I meant to say Windoze 7....;)

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

I don't care how many charts, stats etc.. you put together there is 1 FACT that remains........

AAPL controls the hardware and software.....

To make my point clear...... RIMM may control the hardware and software on their hand held yet that OS is NOT based on a desktop level OS. None.... NONE of the others have a Desktop OS....WELL MSFT DOES!!!!! YEAH and look @ the hardware MSFT kicks out.......ZUNE? Come ON!.

AGAIN I SAY... NAME ONE (1) handset OEM that "OWNS" its own desktop OS that is UNIX certified.....that ALSO runs on their "Smartphone"

People the iPhone is not a Smartphone its A !#@$% COMPUTER!!!!!

Some people you JUST CAN NOT REACH!!! AAPL Long.

3.0 is just around the corner....

iPod2001..... iPhone 3.0 2009 = iPod2001 x 1000......

Naysayers I say History SPEAKS VOLUMES..

Ballmer: iPhone has 'no chance'
The iPhone has no hope of gaining a true foothold in the cellphone marketplace, according to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The company head told an interviewer at the USA Today that, as with computers, future control of the mobile handset business would primarily depend on software influence rather than hardware. Apple's insistence on attaching its code to a premium device could prevent it from getting any more than a small percentage of the world's cellphone user base, Ballmer predicted.

"Would I trade 96% of the market for 4% of the market? I want to have products that appeal to everybody," he said. "We'll get a chance to go through this [Apple versus Microsoft debate] again in phones and music players. There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It's a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get."

He also suggested that Apple might be creating too narrow a focus by stressing media playback on the iPhone instead of the possibilities of a general operating system such as Windows Mobile. The heavily-rumored Zune phone was again dismissed as impossible and against the company's mobile product philosophy.

"We wouldn't define our phone experience just by music. A phone is really a general purpose device," he summarized. "You want to make telephone calls, you want to get and receive messages, text, e-mail, whatever your preference is."

The iPod's success in the world of strictly entertainment-oriented handhelds was downplayed. Apple "got out early" with a good mix of media player hardware and software, according to Ballmer, but there was still an opportunity for the Zune line to have its own success. Its sales campaign would be "less edgy" and appeal to more buyers, he said. The remark appeared to ignore the company's existing campaigns, which have included Adult Swim and graffiti-themed limited runs of the player.

Microsoft currently holds a small but substantial portion of the cellphone OS business, which is currently dominated by variants on the open-source Symbian. The Zune's share has largely remained locked at roughly 9 percent of the US hard disk-based media player market since its introduction in November 2006.

Still No News on Palm Pre Release

I do know how to google btw.... good grief..

prepoint.wordpress.com.../

This is the kind of gray area and Blue Sky I am talking about.

Still No News on Palm Pre Release

End of June and we will have a more accurate data and feedback to the future of webOS and Pre.

If they have supply issues it wont be pretty.

Once AGAIN time will tell.

At this point my bet is with iPhone 3.0 and the new Apple hardware. The App store does not hurt Apple either. My other thoughts are.... what does Palm have to compete with the iPod Touch?

Still No News on Palm Pre Release

I needed to be more clear..

Will the Pre have EXChange support out of the box? or Will you need to purchase an app to work w/EXChange?

As far as the SDK.... has it been seeded to the common developer ranks?

As far as the ex Apple execs go... the Apple DNA still remains... they learned from a company that had the balls to Think Different, and are the envy of tech today.

The other OEM's had a 10 year start and in less than 2 years Apple put ALL others to SHAME!!!! facts are facts. The numbers DO NOT Lie, cheat or deceive...people do. Apple has $30B in the bank, no debt and one hell of a hardware pipeline and one of the best OSes in the world.

On a different note: When it is all said and done my bet is Sprint's plan fro Pre will be more expensive than AT&T's. Like I said time will tell all.

Still No News on Palm Pre Release

Everything about this Pre is such Blue Sky mentality.... @ least they Palm has the sense enough to not call the Pre an iPhone Killer.

The device "seams" slick upon debut but people, please remember the very basis of development of Pre came from the mind of an ex Apple employee......so in effect the Pre is, in my opinion, an iPhone wanna be..... and as far as I can surmise the Pre's SDK is no where near as robust (nor does it have the reach @ this point) as the iPhone SDK....

my other question is will the pre have EXChange built in?
This is a BIG DEAL for IT in the enterprise.

I, like so many others have questions about the Pre...... there is so much gray matter and Blue Sky with the Pre....

My conclusion. Time. The release and the first 3 months after the release will give us the answers...

As far as 4G... something else will replace it in the future....

FYI: Apple WILL have an answer to the netbook trash out there... AND IT WILL redefine the category. Say NAY.. Nay Sayers.... Steve Ballmer one said Apple will be LUCKY!!! to get 1% of the smart phone market..... YEAH OK!! STEVE!!!

Still No News on Palm Pre Release

Has the Pre been approved by the FCC?

Still No News on Palm Pre Release

My gut tells me there are some serious issues with the software and their cloud..... will this device be Mac friendly? Another thought crosses my mind too.... has this device been approved by the FCC? It took AAPL MONTHS!! to get the iPhone's green light.

just a thought..

Anyone else want to chime in?

State of the iPhone: Strong. Very Strong.

SiliconValleyJoe

Y. will do.

I however, have a low tolerance for IT ignorance and felt this was one way to shut them up.

I should have just said... AAPL Q2 eps $1.33 (Net quarterly profit of $1.21 billion FYI), 29+billion in the bank, NO DEBT, A healthy product line and the best SDK on the planet.

OH!!!! they would say SO WHAT!! Mac sales are down 3%!!!

Well THEN!!! GO AWAY!!! buy DELL and good luck with that I say....sad part is DELL is the fall guy for MSFT's arrogance and missteps.

Again, I just cringe @ the ignorance of certain annalists and IT know it ALLS.

SELL MSFT!!!!!! The tech wet noodle....
