Apple: Three Battles Won, Nicely Positioned for the Fourth

I don't see any stock hyping. It is time there was more commentary on Apple's business franchise(s) going into the future. I see its position as unassailable ascendancy for say 5 years. In computing, music, phones and true handheld computing/surfing, they have no competition. Before anyone challenges these assertions, let me say:
The market does like premium products eg: Omega, Merc' Benz......
In its market sectors no one offers products of comparable quality.
In computing, no one offers a quality tri-OS capable device.
The iPod Touch is a new class of product-the true HHC/Surfer
The rise of the iPhone cannot be stopped. It's the Apps stupid!
iTunes is still in its infancy. It is a model that can be expanded beyond media sales.
In its markets, Apple software is without competition.
I could say more but you get the idea

Will SanDisk's New 'Slot Music' Make Sense for Consumers?

Well said FreeRange. This product will only enjoy marginal sales and then only if the songs are freely copyable and the 1Gig card then becomes a reusable item. Even so, the thought of having to buy unimpressive filer songs is a killer. Digital distribution means content with no distribution medium. This is a backward step therefore.
But it does indicate some lateral thinking on Sandisk's part. They are going to need a lot more of that to regain their lost market cap.
