Although I'm out of the defense biz now, going with Android was probably a no-brainer. They need the ability to harden the hardware, swap out comm software, customize the login/home software, etc. Yeah, so a couple hundred thousand games will be m…

I don't see Apple being affected any more than anyone else due to supply chain problems.

I think some of the analysts expecting good margins this quarter are going to be in for a surprise. Apple appears willing to reduce margins to keep the volume up.

Analysts who increase their estimated iPad shipments based on demand are clueless. Apple will sell 100% of what they make short of a manufacturing miracle. The sole determiner of iPads shipped in 2011 is how many iPads Apple can manufacture in 201…
