re: Apple's 15 minutes are almost up. Tech dominance always end when the next best gadget come. IBM dominated the computer world from the 60s all the way to late 80s. Microsoft dominated from early 90 until the smartphone/tablet come along a few years ago (so may be 1990 to 2008?). Apple is fighting for dominance but they are not there yet.. They need to be able to breach the PC world and start to have IOS systems on the desktop and server (which they are not build for but can certainly extend into). The PC market is center around Microsoft Office. At some point Microsoft will port Office onto Ipad (which we have a lot of rumor that they will announce it with Ipad 3 and didn't) or Apple will have to put up with the money and has something that is compatible with the office product and migrate all the documents/spreadsheet to Apple machine. Right now it looks good. No one else has the momentum, the cash, nor the user behind them to the extend that Apple has...
