It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Yep, as much as I hate Apple and their sandboxed products, it is sad news. He did create some good products that have forced other manufacturers to up their game.

yeah in one. Apple were/are great at creating desire and at a price. Funny thing is they never really invented, aside from the mac OS, although the world of a pc was done elsewhere. They innovated fabulously though, taking tech and tarting it (& the price) up sumptuously in things that worked. Gap is narrowing now though. Think the one big thing that changed the world has nothing to do with hardware and that's iTunes imo

Goes to show that an Apple a day DOESN'T keep the doctor away.
