re: Apple Posts Strong Q3 on iSales
Apple has always amazed me with their niche products and messaging. That being said I question how Apple tops it. With only speed increases (IP5), improvement in pictures, tapped out market (Vrz, etc.) how will Apple improve sales. not that the sales aren't great - just where do you go from here. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
