It is hype now, just like gold, imho. But that doesn't mean it/they won't go higher.
Long term, they'll have to perform perfectly to continue. But so far they are, and have emerged as what, almost the largest market cap for a US company? That's crazy!! Larger than Exxon!!
Personally, I am betting on Google. They have the proven expertise to monetize ideas and, as witnessed with Android, have the business savvy to take over existing markets.
I read a recent comparison between Android and iOS - the conclusion was that Android will be the Windows of mobile, leaving Apple as a small niche. A long way from that now, but I can see that happening. If it does, it'll leave Apple as a 'cool' toy, but missing the masses.
Oh, and yeah, I own Google shares ;-)
