One of these days, Jobs/Ellison will make the vision clear. Expect another big jump up when this happens ... in the meantime, I think there is very little downside from here at the "bargain" price of $17 previously paid by both The Prince and by Bill.

November options are a really cheap way to take a shot at this.

Sanjay,

Apple is pretty much breaking even on MP sales these days. The eMate is profitable. Amelio said the margin was 20%.

<<Does anyone know about Apple's strategy for the Newton/eMate?
I had heard that the Message Pad would be dropped, and the eMate made more powerful. I guess my question is, how do they plan to make money on these products?>>

Sanjay:

That is the problem. What is Apple's strategy? It seems to be a well kept secret. My gut feeling is and I may be going overboard is that Jobs is purposely maneuvering to bring Apple shares down so it will be a bargain to buy.
