Apple's Market Value to Surpass IBM, Intel

I think the whole point is that the iPhone will cannibalize iPod sales. The iPod will lose favor at some point, why not lose favor to Apple's own product line? Apple has a lot more in the pipeline. If Apple relied on iPods it would be named Motorola and the iPod would be named RAZR.

The very fact that Apple has set out to top the iPod should be comfort enough. Why the fear of flagging iPod growth? It'll happen no matter what, why not pat Apple on the back for being the first one in line to kill the iPod? Even better, apparently the iPod is going to start looking/acting more like the iPhone by year's end. Perhaps the iPod will just continue to grow because they're paying attention and growing the product wisely?

Don't complain that Apple is refusing to act like Motorola or Dell, invest in the fact that they don't.
