Apple as a Target

Gee, another new standard that's late to the party. Can't be just about MP3 market as that is too far along in maturity. Apple is moving at mega speeds and the DECE will be long in the tooth trying to gain any traction. More Zunes ? Gee golly, I can't wait. I wonder if they'll be as lame as the new MSFT commercials. It's like Apple is getting free advertising benefits from MSFT who is proving how nerdy Gates is at any age and that image is bolstering MSFT negatively. Does anyone really feel like buying MSFT products after watching those vague commercials. Any teenagers going "ooh, ahh" ?

As an investor, I really don't give a rat's petutti. Look at the Apple big picture. All the rest of the numbers will catchup regardless to the Apple rocketship. Apple knows that the growing popularity of it's ecosystem will naturally pull along the mobile viewing leverage.

Microsoft: Still Master of the Operating System Domain

It's going to take more than an ad campaign with a Jerry Seinfeld plant to hold onto market share. Would be simply a temporary counter move that may help for awhile. Expect Apple to turn up the heat because Apple has the solid products that turn people on. Advertising can only do so much even with a high-priced star. Will be interesting to see what Apple launches next in their ads. Maybe Cramer or George. How about Ray Ramono.
