well to be fair, Apple hasn't always successfully predicted the  
demand for their products. I don't recall specifics, but they have  
under-produced runaway successes, and over produced flops. I think  
the Cube and 20th C Mac are 2 examples of over-produced flops.  
(Despite the fact that they were good, if overpriced, computers).

with the return of Jobs they've gotten better...I don't recall a new  
product of theirs which has flopped..


what absolutely baffles me is how a product like the iPad can be such  
a huge hit in an economy with a sucking chest wound.

no matter HOW cool it is.
