What do you think ... ?
" Apple's disastrous planning will simply ramp their increasingly poor quality control issues, abundantly visible on their own discussion forum, to the iPhone.
Just stand in line at the Genius Bar for yet another repair, as I have many times (2 Airport Extremes, two MacBooks, two Airport Expresses, one wireless keyboard, a constantly disappearing Apple TV and wireless router in the Airport Utility) in the past 12 months, and listen to the litany of like issues from your fellow customers in the queue. Then read the discussion boards. These are not isolated incidents.
QC issues? Can you say Leopard? Apple TV? Apple Airport Extreme? iPhone 2.0 software? Just about any wireless product they make? Not one of these was ready for prime time when released, as Apple migrated to the MSFT model of "let the customer do the debugging for us".
Trust and brand equity take years to build and months to destroy, and Apple seems unaware of the fact that trust, once lost, is seldom regained.
No company's stock trading at over 30 times future earnings, making consumer discretionary products which no one needs when the alternative is putting bread on the table while the world heads for a depression, is remotely a buying opportunity.
While the Reality Distortion Field can support the stock with hype when times are good, it has yet to be proved as a workable model in a depression - something neither Apple or any of its customers have experienced.
Add a star CEO, with no visible succession planning, who's health issues have been amateurishly obfuscated by the marketing department, and you have a stock trading at under $100 twelve months hence."

Hedge bought high and sold low. He is now realizing what a problem his dyslexia can be when brought into the business world.
