The interesting thing about the Whole Foods Markets is they expense new stores and dont capitalize them. If WFMI did up keep on exisiting stores and didnt expand the free cash flow would be $600 milllion or about $4 a share before that dillution. So the pe metric might mislead. Focus on the $4 a share free cash flow situation instead of the 75 cent+ eps estimate for 2009 to justify a better price then the recent $18-$20+.

I just have a hard time seeing how Apple is going to walk into the cellphone space, where the competition is the fiercest hot as hell i've ever seen, and avoid a black eye from entrenched nok.mot.eric.sony.sams... the asp downslope 10%+ a year and Apple would have more product lines to juggle.
