Sweeet, Apple!

The company is blasting the electronic music industry out of the water. It has cornered 82% of the market. To many, Steve Jobs is God! To me, he's a freakin' genius. The leadership he has given to Apple is incomparable. So what do you do when you've determined your largest market share? Create more developments so you make more money in that market!

Some new developments -
1. New version of Itunes w/functions that allow users to make it more convenient for users to listen to the music THE WAY THEY WANT
2. The exclusive acquisition of all of Madonna's albums
3. The exclusive acquisition of all of the audio books of Harry Potter
4. An exclusive partnership with Motorola to provide an Itunes phone through Cingular's network - gives access to music anywhere in the world through the network combined with the phone features....the ads for this are fuckin' AWESOME...ok, some are corny but they get the message across and Apple, Cingular and Motorola will be reaping the rewards from this for quite some time
5. more deals have been made with Honda, Acura, Audi and Volkswagen to offer ipod connectivity in their cars - by 2006, 30% of all cars in the US will offer this option
6. Ipod Mini be gone! - they've introduce the Ipod Nano that's as small as the coin pocket in traditional jeans. It carries 1,000 songs and is in color! Feast your eyes....kids, this is smaller than the stupid Razr phone that I've been lusting about since it came out. The smallest will have 2 gigs and holds 500 songs. It's selling for $199. It's just $70 more than the Shuffle. Which one would you get? Keep in mind the Shuffle has no display screen.



So is this whole entry an Apple ad? OF COURSE! Simply because they rock! Until the next big company comes along, my statement stays! I've worked on their systems since I was in 4th grade and I'm not backing out anytime soon.

Go Steve Jobs and your peeps! Thanks for my super cute Powerbook, too!
