...well, you know.
Apple's market cap today is larger than IBM. Or Intel.
It's a long long way from 1984.
(Seriously, who would have thought that six years ago today, the iPod - "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." - would be one-third of Apple revenue and that the stock would be up by almost 2000%? That's crazy talk.)
"Some investors are speculating that Cupertino-based Apple is reducing production of either its popular iPod music players or the iPhone, perhaps by as much as 50 percent, said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos. in Minneapolis."
Some? Speculating? EITHER/OR??
Dear stockbrokers,
Kill yourselves.

Starting tomorrow, AT&T will begin the process of rebranding Cingular as AT&T, or "Wireless by AT&T."
Two years ago, Cingular bought AT&T Wireless (a separate entity from AT&T) for $40 billion, and then spent $5 billion in two years to rebrand it as Cingular.
Now that SBC has bought the remnants of AT&T (a mere $16 billion) and coaxed Bellsouth into a merger, they are now going to spend one brazillian dollars to undo their last two years of marketing?
And THIS is the company Apple wants me to indenture myself to for the iPhone? Sheesh...what would I give to have had Vodaphone buy the old ATTWS and still have 3 GSM carriers in this country?
