“I have owned various versions of the Treo for about three years (the latest the Treo 750). I have enjoyed most functionalities of it, with the exception of the Web browsing, which was slow and cumbersome,” Doug Kass writes for RealMoney. “I am not a typical first adopter, but I was unabashedly influenced by the buzz surrounding iPhone and purchased it on the opening weekend of its introduction.”
“To sum it up: iPhone is a game changer, and I finally get what Apple bulls have been on to for awhile. That said, with the shares up dramatically both absolutely and relatively, I am late to the party for Apple as a short-term consideration,” Kass writes.
“Currently, the stock is being driven by other products — namely iPods and more importantly, Macs. The company is gaining considerable market share in these products,” Kass writes. “In the market correction I envision, Apple will likely be a buy candidate based on what I know now.”

Clearly this guy is a moron.
He uses the iPhone, which in no way shape form or fashion represents the fantastic feats of engineering that Apple has done over the years and now he says he gets it?
Why because his Treo sucked and he can finally find the home button on the iPhone?
Sad.
Whats a Treo???
HAHAHA!! F U palm!
see what 10 years of no os development and polital BS gets you??!?
When the biggest bear on wall street says something like this, it’s no wonder the stock has moved so much today.
I agree with ya tt. It’s amazing that palm hasn’t changed (much)their os to make any real strides towards improvement. They deserve to be where they are. Seems like many companies do the same thing. Get great and fail to make changes that keep them ahead.
Folks
Please, he admits he’s “late to the party”. Yes, 20 years late, but better late than never.
THIS is what we’ve been waiting on all this time, and it’s finally arriving.
Now, be a good Host(ess) – Proper Ladies and Gentlemen.
Welcome our newbies with open arms. Make them feel a part of our Family.
We need to let others ‘see’ by our example, words, and conduct there is more to Apple and Mac than just the hardware and software.
Show what it truly means to Think Different.
Remember – we’re not out to make money or computers or software … those are just a means to an end
We’re out to Change the World
And for the ‘better’
Thank You

This is the same a–hole that passing FUD about Steve Jobs stepping down during the stock options fiasco. He’s a short seller. He’s full of BS
BC Kelly…
Spot On!

Mr Kass and those of his kind are supposed to know what is happening with companies like Apple because they are Analyst. They are not supposed to ‘stumble’ upon things and ‘finally get it’, he should have analyzed and got it years ago!
If you or I did our job like that we would be on the soup line double quick.
We often wonder why these dudes get it wrong so often. Well it is because they don’t do their job properly.
The best analyst out there is Mr. Buffett. He does his work and puts money where his mouth is, the rest of these losers are pretenders who sucker us all in with their endless crap. If they were any good then Mr Buffett would have competition.
A vital statistic, repeated several times now by several analysts who have examined the results of Wall Street analysts reached this conclusion, their predictions have a less than average chance of proving to be correct. In other words you have a better chance of coming out in front by sticking a pin in to the list at random than by listening to an analyst.
There are liars, damned liars, and analysts.

And this is why I’ve stopped using my Palm.
Wait…
… that didn’t sound right…
He’s right about the email limitations. Hope Apple fixes those soon.
