E-Reader Wars Heating Up: Apple May Have Edge with Younger Generations

Apple will revolutionize this space. They're building a HUGE facility here in NC to serve data. They have the ecosystem in place with iTunes and the App Store. They are building a seamlessly scaled platform with OS X. At some point, they are going to OWN content provision in this country.

If you haven't spent 15 minutes or an hour in an Apple store, you owe it to yourself to see what the buzz is about. If you haven't spent 15 minutes playing with an iPhone 3GS or the new iPod Touch, go play with one. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

This is a company with an extremely long view and an extremely wholistic approach. They want their customers to move easily from one of their products to another, and to be able to use any of them instinctively. They are ALL ABOUT the consumer experience with electronics. When you use their systems, you concentrate on the task, not the tech.

Watch what happens with this company in the next six months. It will be amazing, and I'm not just talking about the financial performance or the stock price...
