Tickle Elmo's Penis is going to kill Mac's sales and you'll be first in line for one?
Can you see those 4th-quarter spikes? What's going to happen this Christmas?
Just a guess...
It's hard to argue with that revenue slope.....

This analyst who is a long time watcher of Apple is hinting that the slope may change.

...and Samung's numbers are pretty strong.

Competition is great, isn't it?
Afterall, it's the American way.
While I think that slope will be hard to maintain that article doest say anything about Apples revenue growth, just tablet marketshare someday.This analyst who is a long time watcher of Apple is hinting that the slope may change.

...okay one more, why not.

I like the closing statement in the article, because it's 100% true. "...the ongoing battle for the most popular smartphone still has a lot more twists to come".

Neither of these mention declining Apple revenue growth... did you miss your ritilan you're 0 for 2.
OTB
This says there is upside for Apple if they end their ATT exclusivity, which everyone expects within a few months.... 0 for 3....okay one more, why not.

But it mentions the competitors, in this case Android which is Apple's biggest competitor and how its eating away at Apple's market share as well as the very strong interest now being shown in Android.
I think that maybe you should direct the Ritalin question at yourself for not deducing that from the articles, which was in plain to see in the titles alone? lol
If you took YOUR meds, then maybe you would have noticed the Windows7 platform which has just entered the game and which looks to really shake things up by the time the Apple AT&T deal goes through.
In the meantime, Android will keep taking bigger bites out of Apple's share, BlackBerry is still in the game most definitely and then Windows7.
Comprende? lol
You're confusing market share with revenue - which a bit simplistic of you.... Android is expanding the smartphone business to include lower cost consumers (kids and geeks I would assume but who knows) that does not mean that Apple's revenue (or profit for that matter) will not continue to grow quickly as it wins a smaller share of a larger market. Google has been very successful in gaining market share and critical mass with a multiple carrier and low cost business model.
The big loser has been RIM, I think that will continue to be the case.
OTB
I bet you also thought that Google's Android would capture as much market share as it has already (and still capturing).
The greater the market share, the better the revenue.
Considering Google's behaviour from the past till now, I just wonder if prices will ever increase for their devices.
Much like their model of their search engine and how they weren't supposed to be evil, but ten years later and look at how they're behaving now.

OK, so we can say you've conceded your original point.
Google surprised me with how quickly they've gained market share - I think much of this is new Smartphone market (two for one phones for kids, young adults). I was at a very large global banking conference in Europe this week, iPhones and Blackberrys were the most common handsets, saw exactly one Windows phone (although to be fair it hasn't been out that long) and not a single Android phone.... not a statistically significant sample but it told me that a different segment is buying Android phones....
I think Google will make it's money off the ecosystem of software and ads.....
Back on point of this thread, when does anyone think another tablet will gain meaningful sales?
OTB
If conceding means how you left this thread all to itself and your last post was #17 and nothing to the replies below, then yes.

As for your big global banking conference where all the little sheep are sent to flock together and not seeing an Android.
