Man, don’t I feel like an idiot now. Only a few weeks ago I was mulling buying a few more shares. Never got around to it. Oh, well. Guess I should be thankful for the shares I do have.
It’s pretty amazing that Apple is that far ahead of tech giants like IBM, Google, HP, Intel, Cisco, Amazon, etc. Sony, Dell, and Yahoo! seem almost worthless in comparison. No wonder they all hate Apple. LOL

And to think, Apple is really a startup company because of the iPad. This is a brand new beginning to a brand new market that Apple invented. Amazing.

Finally the price of Apple stock is going into realistic range, like a tightly wound spring finally freed. Here we had Apple THRIVING amidst the ongoing Bush Depression and dumbasses were keeping the price suppressed anyway. About bloody time for a wopping BOING!

You advocate that Apple should sell its iPhone through all 4 German carriers, instead of just through T-Mobile.
That would be an improvement.
But it is beyond me why phones should be sold through any carrier at all.
Wouldn’t the market benefit if there were just phone shops, offering data/voice plans on a competitive basis?
I live in Belgium, which has 3 major mobile operators: Proximus, Mobistar (currently sells iPhones, all unlocked: subscription is optional), and Base (the smallest operator, 3G only in major cities, but upgrading quickly).
But I am digressing…
Another development which quenches competition is that many shops are at the same time “Proximus”, “Mobistar” and “Base” shops, so it is unclear who they really are promoting.
My points: the mechanisms behind it all that subsidises the phone shops sucks.
