    Gene Munster isn't the right guy to follow for AAPL.



    Brian Marshall at Broadpoint or Andy Hargreaves at Pacific Crest are the go-to AAPL analysts.



    The rumor sites seem to enjoy quoting Munster, Shaw Wu (Kaufman), and some other less accurate analysts. Baffling, to say the least.

    Only geek's want Flash. The iPad is not made for geek's.



    That HP Slate looks awful. Did you see how uncomfortable it looked in portrait mode? It is to long.



    And it is way to complicated for everybody except geek's.

    iPad. Though $500 seems a bit on the high side.

    Let me get this straight..



    February Mac sales were up 43%...



    But I thought no one was buying MacBook Pros right now? Perhaps the number of people familiar with the Apple Buyer's Guide is not nearly as high as some think? Yea...

    People on this forum and other tech forums are likely holding back, if they can, but those who care about such things are likely a very small part of Apple's market. It would appear that having the newest processor tech isn't as important as some think.

    Sales figures include more than just MBP sales--for all Macs & Apple products.

    Actually, Munster has proven he's accurate enough. Yes, he tends to skew towards the higher end of stock estimates, but more often than not Apple meets them (and has exceeded them in the past 2 years). It's the rest of the analysts that "don't get it" that say that Apple is either stagnant or has only a little growth.

    This is good news for Apple and bad news for those waiting for a Mac Book Pro updates. I still stand by my statement that apple will announce a new update to the Mac Book Pro at WWDC. It will be the most logical time for fall back to school sales. If they release one now it will mess up the fall sales.



    Most Mac fans will not find the logic but they will get the clue due to the stronger than expected sales for the current version. Why should apple update it now when they can update it at WWDC for the fall back to school sales.

    Collectively the market analysts tend to undershoot earnings for growth companies like Apple. Probably they run their estimates on the conservative side to avoid making their advice to clients seem overly optimistic. In that business, it's better to be wrong low than wrong high. Munster seems pretty well informed about AAPL on a whole -- a lot better than some of the others.

    Piper says apple usa sales of desk and lap top mac exploded in the grand ole USA THIS 1/4.



    and last QT apple simply shredded the over seas markets for the first time



    so IF in this 1/4 over seas SALES holds up and china /india increase at a faster rate >>while NORTH AMERICA holds onto its 49% increase. we now would / will have a perfect storm of accelerating sales of pads phone/s mac/s ipods

    and SW titles and app store itunes sales



    well now we may end the fiscal yr with 56 BN in cash and no debt >>7 hot on fire products



    wow



    THE IPAD MUST MORPH INTO THE APV

    and the nano phone will come into being





    peace
