Dude I have yet to use another MP3 that offers the same effectiveness as an iPod and iTunes...the competition is garbage which is why Apple can afford to charge what they charge. (FYI posted from a MAC which is the BOMB!!!)

Hey buy their stock and then youcan ask why they backdate options for Jobs and give me a Gulstrean jet. It's all about the money for the guys at the top. Don't you all get it it's called CAPIALISM. If you got the Capital you canhave the Jizim. Apple is a greedy as they get. they pay about 1/4 of the parts cost shown.

Sorry but still a bad analysis.

Also, think of the volumes sold, it'll be covered pretty fast. Gina: 'all your base are belong to us' is a known geeky sentence.. 'costed' was a mistake, true.. and Apple to get bashed... well Apple are more people, a company. Al: yep, boss... that's what they do. I'm just trying to say that they're not worth that $x here rickman: also true, but is it worth it?.. there are always options that offer you the same quality, yet for a fair price. I'm pretty much against paying $x just for the brand name, especially when other, less popular brands, are offering better prices and better quality in a struggle to defeat companies whose best division is the marketing division.
