AAPL is the best share I've ever invested since 1986!
So many grandchildren!

Apples price is NOT just about Iphone, Ipod, Ipad.
Before these there were Mac, iMac, MacAir and others.

Apples price is about Steve Job & innovation. His ability to produce and something that consumer dun realised they need it!

About $75. For me AAPL make much more money for me than MCD.

PS there are the only 2 NYSE share I'm familiar with.

In 2010, Apple's only real competition was the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab. But with a slew of Honeycomb-powered iPad competitors out this year including the Xoom, Galaxy Tab 10.1, LG G-Slate, and Dell Streak 10, as well as Research In Motion's Blackberry Playbook and the WebOS-powered TouchPad, Apple appears to be feeling the competitive heat. - Nokia is sux!

BUT

Apple launches iPad2
Apple shares rose 2% in midday trading on the launch of iPad2.


Apple's new iPad 2, starts from USD499 available in black or white, features
- an Apple-branded 1GHz A5 dual-core processor,
- 9.7-inch screen with 1024-by-768 resolution,
- front- and rear-facing cameras,
- up to 1080p video out support via HDMI,
- 10 hours of battery life,
- accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope,
- and separate GSM and CDMA 3G connectivity options.

With the HDMI out, Apple's move to make the iPad the must-have tool for business people, teachers, and anyone else who spends a lot of time giving presentations. The company also has two new pages dedicated to explaining why the iPad 2 is an ideal gadget for business and education professionals.

And expect rumor that iPhone 5 will also be rocking this Apple-branded 1GHz A5 dual-core processor.

Market research firm IHS iSuppli on Wednesday said tablets are a major reason that demand for hard disk drives (HDD), the most common form of storage in PC devices, is dropping.
HDD demand will drop 3.9 percent in the first three months of 2011, according to IHS iSuppli predictions. The research firm also believes netbooks are particularly vulnerable to being decimated by the demand for tablet devices. -

AAPL will take a hit. Just dunno how severe?
"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know," Mr. Jobs said in his resignation letter. "Unfortunately, that day has come."
