Word is rife from the grapevine, any-one with concrete info?? Its widely known Apple wants a piece of the gaming market where they are virtually unrepresented and Jobs is sitting on $51b in cash, am sure very soon a take-over of some kind is eminent, whether it's Sony or some-other company remains to be seen!!

I can see what you mean, i too love their products but in all essence they seemed to have gotten something right. I saw the numbers for the Mac in the last fiscal year and i was impressed.

Do you think this success can be replicated elsewhere?? I have heard info regarding Apples next generation I pad where it aims at locking in the already existing subscriber base so when you hold it the first-time it automatically accesses all the info you "frequently" use including all the apps and lay them out just as you like them..Impressive is all i can say!!

Interesting Jobs sparking wars directing salvos at competitors:
-first with the antennae issue, in response to new kind of criticism for Apple products
-next in this earnings call, the first he's attended in a long time

Are these diversionary tactics, because in the first case Apple was being given heat on a product design issue with iPhone 4 and in the second, earnings seemed to disappoint sky-high expectations/share price.

Interesting how the bigger and more successful you grow, the way everyone goes gannering for you.



On another note @KulaRaha, you are waiting to long to eat happy on this iPad issue. I witnessed with my eyes a boy, must have been at least 4 yrs, navigating and toying with an iPad - I was impressed. That early, to learn and OS and use unaided?
