Apple Turnover
Just a few short weeks ago I wrote that:
Another recent article credits Apple’s growing market share on the halo effect of Apple’s celebrated consumer electronics devices, a point I also mentioned. The author points out that this effect is likely to grow with the launch of the iPhone. I’ve spoken in the past about the tendency of exponential curves to appear linear in the early stages. There’s probably a magic market share number that will cause the Mac to “tip” and really take off. It’s hard to say what this number might be, but it’s looking more and more likely that Apple is going to hit it at some point.
And sure enough, Mac sales growth was apparently far stronger than expected for the first quarter. I’m convinced that Apple is poised for much bigger market share gains to come, particularly if they can nail the sticky gaming issue. Will they please just buy Nintendo and be done with it?

Apple still has a lot of opportunities for more share gains. When the iPhone is released, depending on its success, it may be very profitable. Also, Apple TV is another highly regarded product by consumers. Apple will seemingly print it’s own money if things go well.
