iPhone: Apple Making All the Wrong Moves

It is interesting how the market has always downplayed Apple innovation. When Apple truly invented something new Apple always had to struggle and usually it would loose it's ability to capitolize on their original new idea because competition was able to inovate and take the best of Apples ideas and make them cheaper and for a larger audience (Does anybody remember it was apple that invented the digital camera, PDA and a long list of unsuccesful truly remarkable ideas... before their time). Apple does best to target new ideas that already show an interest in the market place (MP3 players, media distribution methods) and then Apple can truly make those products easy to use and work as stated. Apple empowers users and that is why I think people truly like Apple products. The IPHONE is a big deal. It will make using features easy and fun. The 8 gigs of flash memory is a big deal in a phone/music player. Remember Itunes and the IPOD are a complete product and distribution channel. The OSX operating system will insure developers make great software once Apple allows people to upload them. Imagine if you will connecting your IPHONE to large monitor like a TV to watch a show you downloaded from itunes when your on business travel. Take your work home or to the office.... Use high speed wireless connection or airport docking station and large screen monitor and not leave a foot print because you booted up from your phone and email, bookmarks and browser history stay with you. (eventually this may even replace a laptop if your able to use a remote storage hard drive and complete backup is easy). How many people back up their phones? As long as Apple can develop Software, Hardware and distribution then inovations will enhance our ability to use and enjoy these products.... High Stock price or not Apple makes technology fun and easy. With only 5 percent world wide computer market share and a more secure virus free high performance platform Apple is sure to excite many new customers and people in the future. China and India both have billions of people... Europe and Japan enjoy tech innovation and Apple owns the complete supply chain and has record high markup. What is there not to love. Even if Apple only pulled in a 5 percent market increase every quarter they would out perform the market.
