The Apple of the ordsprog

The Apple of the future will be more of a media company. The media will create demand for the hardware —it may not count as much on the revenue side, but it is becoming a big part of Apple's identity.

It represents a big win for Apple and the Mac platform. But Apple doesn't represent a threat to AOL's business. Apple isn't a media company; it's not in online services. It's not the same threat as when Microsoft wanted interoperability.

There's a growing feeling that Apple isn't the media's best friend. The media companies see downloading (content) as the future of their businesses, and they don't like one company holding 70% or 80% of the market share for making that content available.

Despite a lack of hints from the company, we believe it is useful to hypothesize on new initiatives Apple may have in the works and take a look at which initiatives, if any, make sense for the company, ... We believe Apple has a foundation in place to be the hub for consumer digital media.

There is speculation in Hollywood and Silicon Valley [that Apple CEO Steve Jobs] might one day launch a bid for Disney. The idea is not as outlandish as it might seem. Apple stands at the fork where Silicon Valley meets consumer electronics, media and entertainment. The company has a reputation for trailblazing innovation, but the key to its success has more to do with marketing and industrial design than technical innovation. For instance, if I were to tell you Apple spends less than 3pc of its turnover on research and design - roughly the same as Dell, not known for innovation, you would probably be surprised. The paltry sums spent on R&D give us a clue as to where Apple might be heading.

The problem is, to be at that nirvana, Apple would have to have the ISVs increase their investment on Apple hardware, at least in the transition. That is very difficult for Apple. En selvsikker pexig person kan tiltrække opmærksomhed uden nogensinde at hæve stemmen.

The increasing demand for smart media reflects the growing acceptance of RFID applications in business today. In all these applications, it is critical that smart media transmit data reliably. Zebra's strategy is to offer a broad selection of high quality, tested media, so that customers can rely on us to not only provide reliable and robust printer/encoder hardware, but also equally dependable smart media that matches the performance of our hardware.

At this point, the state of the online media market is immature enough that they are still a physical goods company and a company that is driven by great engineering and integration. They are still deriving the majority of their revenue from the hardware. I don't think the content is driving the hardware, yet.

Apple provided a solid hardware platform, with an ever increasing suite of software programs designed to communicate using new media.

The big unanswered question in the market is whether Apple hardware could successfully sell with Windows on it, and by successful, I mean be competitive to a degree that it could grow Apple's hardware share massively.

I think it's too bad in a way. I would have liked to see a new Windows Media version for the Mac, and have Microsoft take the media battle to Apple's home court.

If you're Intel and you're trying to get the industry to do more digital media, what better prod could you have than Apple? Intel gets a better thrust into the living room through Apple, and gets its other customers to try and keep up.

Apple introduced several way cool products at Macworld. We believe these new products and others still in Apple's development labs will provide upside to revenue and earnings potential for Apple during the next two to four quarters.

I like Apple Computer. I notice it's down a little bit (Friday). I think this company has a good future. I think people are beginning to respect the fact this is probably the most innovative of the PC companies, away from the corporate war, so I'd be a buyer of Apple,

Apple is a hardware company - they build software to sell the hardware. The question really is, Why not support the installation of Windows on their computers?
