Allen, But many have said that the phone market is fickle and it could turn against Apple. <<I've heard that again and again, while Apple has continued to steadily grow its iPhone business. Of course it's possible that at some point people will be sick of the iPhone, and flock to something else. But the iPhone happens to be an unusually sticky phone, for all the reasons we have discussed here over the years. While other phone makers have been duking it out, Apple has just plodded along, seemingly above the fray.>> I agree wholeheartedly. I just read this article and feel it addresses a lot of the stupid stuff being written these days. macobserver.com Neal

> market is fickle and it could turn against Apple It will eventually, when management changes enough and the culture forgets why we liked Apple's products and a competitor does it better. However Toyota looks a lot like Apple. They've been killing competitors for years and have a loyal base. At one point used Prius' sold for more than new because of the demand (Just like Apple phone scalpers.) Its possible Apple will just continue to improve their products for years. We will see now with Ive's larger power base. Toyota's lead designer position was just changed. The guy wants to "jazz" up Toyotas designs so they appeal more to younger people. I hope they don't get too far into that because reliable and well built appeal more to older wiser people... Toyota's base.
