the phone market is larger than the pc market.Quote from Joab:
Sell the news !!!
This was a stupid market for Apple in the first place and typical of a company with too much cash and forced to spend it.
Sell the heck out of it because it will blow up in their faces long term.
Quote from Tums:
AAPL is on the winning trek.
this will arrive in your town soon. It is already reported in your newspaper.Quote from Joab:
As usual your think is too short term!
No offense![]()
Quote from Joab:
Apple has never been a (follower) company there business model is NEW innovative products.
They are out gunned in a saturated market filled with too many large players and cheap manufacturers.
Mark my words this will be a huge corporate blunder.![]()
Jobs was not predicting 10mm units. He was merely illustrating the size of the market... even a lowly 1% is 10mm units.Quote from atticus:
When have you ever seen ppl stand in a line, 1000-deep [Miami], to buy a cell phone? It's a huge stretch to make a bearish case for the iphone. 1mm phones netting AAPL $250mm in earnings, excluding AT&T royalties.
Jobs' predicted 10mm units in 2008. I think that's wildly optimistic, but would net AAPL two billion or more.
