Some 'market forecasters' are helping promote these rumors. Just yesterday I read about one company suggesting that Apple's stock could easily reach $108 in a few months after they bring out new technologies like "phones, tablets", etc. Of course, Apple refuses to comment about rumors.

I'm not sure there is a big market for tablets ( although I take several every day! ). Phones carry too much baggage with them, IMHO ( contracts, compatibility concerns, access to all networks, etc. ). Home media center hardware/software may be the next thing from Apple, but it have to be acceptable to have the box(es) in a non-computer room before it will be a big market, I think. I'm still enamoured by the computer part, the 'media center' IS the computer! I don't listen to music like I once did ( who has the time? ) nor do I care much for the junque coming out of Hollywood in the last few years. Oh well, maybe gunug is right, I'm just a Luddite! smile.gif

And today is Guitarfreak89's birthday.  So when you talk to him Parker, please wish him a Happy Birthday from all of us!
Do not fear your enemies.  The worse they can do is kill you.  Do not fear friends.  At worst, they may betray you.
Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.

Another 'analyst' proposes $100 as a target after speaking with "Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer and iPod Product Marketing VP Greg Joswiak". Remember, half the job of these executives is to 'sell' the analysts!
