iPod has really helped Apple’s sales. But I do see the academic retail portion of their sales.
We used to sell 3-5% Apple computers out of all the computers we sell.
This year 24-27% of our laptop sales were Apple. Scary.
A large reason for the increse in sales is Boot Camp or Parallels which lets you run Windows on your Mac. The Intel chip based systems opened a new door to customers.
As for an iPhone, it will pobably be overpriced and tied to a specific carrier. I have an MP3 player and a phone and will keep them separate.
When they combine a PDA, MP3, and a Phone into 1 clean package with a long battery life and at least 40GB, then I’ll be sold. But they aren’t there yet.

Hahha, Bill Gates bailed Steve Jobs out and kept him in business so don’t forget that. As far a superior products go, we’ll see how well Apple does with a cell phone. The Ipod is great but that’s about where me being impressed ends. Mac computers are going to be all x86 based soon anyway.

Looks like someone beat apple to the one rotary dial cell phone anyways.
