hone is an entirely news business for Apple, so the growth there is way beyond 20% annually. Imagine iPhones margins and all that deferred revenue, sick. Plus there's Apple TV, another relatively new business for Apple. Macs have a 40-50% growth rate as well, above your projected 20% growth. It doesn't even need to "enter new markets"...
I agree, AAPL is definitely going to $300 and it is likely it will go much further than that. You've pointed out some of the most important things like the Mac gaining significant market share or extremely consumer friendly Apple Retail Stores. However, it seems like you missed the day when iTunes sold its 3 billionth song. They accomplished that back in July and they announced it right after they had reached that number. Expect at least 4 billion songs sold at Macworld, if not 5 billion.

There's plenty of room to growth for both Apple and Research in Motion in the smartphone market. However, I don't see Motorola, Palm or Nokia competing with them in the upper price range.
I agree with omacvi. Lots of people buy more than one iPod, for example an iPod Classic for and an iPod Shuffle. Additionally, people who bought an iPod in 2001 may have purchased new iPods since. These are some of the reasons there is still room for growth for the iPod.
