Apple I-Phones may find some tougher competition this year from Window s Mobile produucts that will be sporting more powerful features and 3.8″ touch screens.

Also, expensive apple laptops will be facing competiton from increasingly powerful netbooks which are the darlings of thrifty customers

This post is totally uninformative, every public company is down compared to last year.

Apple (and other tech co’s) will be facing a larger crisis. Like all new technologies, they get absorbed into the market, hit a peak, and then start to decline.

Apple will need a new product(and not a new iphone/ipod) for 2009 if they want to report any sort of gains.

Yeah but then again last year they had their conference announcing refreshes in most of their models.

If there products such as macs where not so overpriced they wouldn’t be in a slump.

The only news worthy here would have been if Apple sales were actually up. Last time I looked, when people start loosing jobs, people stop buying shit across the board.

“This is the same company that constantly beats its and the Streets expectations. Are sales numbers down? I’m sure they are we’re in a freaking recession. Are these percents right. I doubt it.”

Yeah and stock goes down the next minute

GM outperforms its other domestic Auto Makers, are they also elite?

Even if these numbers are correct, Apple still outperforms PC vendors. So, releative to the industry at large, they are the elite company, largely because they aren’t forced to sell that frozen turd that is Vista. Remember, last year Apple took a full THIRD of all computer revenues. One third. The sad part is that 2/3 of computer revenues still go to support BSODs.

I guess my comment would be prove it.

These are the same guys that constantly get this kind of stuff wrong. This is the same company that constantly beats its and the Streets expectations. Are sales numbers down? I’m sure they are we’re in a freaking recession. Are these percents right. I doubt it.

Apple is old news and old tech. Closed to the outside and they are dead. Haven’t added anything in months and all the new phones are shown with more. Apple, you better be planning a nice upgrade with Adobe and Sling and things other phones have had all year – cuz you ain’t got nuttin on any of the phones now. NOT ONE THING. With that said, my iPhone does work well. But it’s nothing like a full web experience.

The iPhone 3G would need copy-and-paste before getting breakthrough technology of the year…
