Love this article, the guy has some pretty good points to make,

Nope, not one.

whoooooosh! ...as predicted.

And some of them are mindlessly silly, like

Control The Hardware. This isn't even a secret. Steve Jobs said it bluntly
at the iPhone introduction: if you want to build great software, you have
to
control the hardware. This is precisely why the iPhone feels four or five
generations ahead of any portable device available today. Phone carriers
like Sprint and T-Mobile fish around looking for sexy, powerful hardware
from electronics manufacturers like Samsung and Motorola. Microsoft will
go to bed with just about anybody to promote their software platform.

And ends up with a market share and market cap that leaves Apple's for dead.
Funny that.

'Left for dead'

What exactly do you mean? They seem to be more alive than any company
out there.

I've heard that "Apple will be left for dead" for many years... funny
that it just never happens despite the market share of competitors.

As Mark Twain would say: Rumours of Apple's imminent death are hugely
exaggerated.

Apple knows better. To create truly compelling experiences,
you need to have a hand in all the pieces of the puzzle.

And you get to wear a pathetic market share when its the Mac. Funny that.


you get to 'wear a pathetic market share'? what is that even supposed
to mean?

Glad it was not just me ... I asked him the same thing.

Apple's market share in the smart phone market is already significant
after just two weeks of introducing their premium price phone.

The iPhone is a great example of that synergy.

They aint the only operation that does that with cellphones etc, stupid.

He did not say they were the 'only operation', so what is your point?

Do you think he has one? :)
